Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest - NES - Full No-Commentary Playthrough

Man this game threw me for a loop when I was a kid. The hints townspeople give you are cryptic and sometimes blatant lies. And then when I finally would beat it, I would see Simon dies at the end anyway! It wasn't until much later I would find out there were multiple endings, only one of which Simon actually survives. If you know exactly what to do, you can beat this game in under 6 game days, where you get the good ending, which is the playthrough I have here.

I LOVE this game. One of my favorites for the NES. Of course, all three for the NES and the Super NES Castlevania game were fantastic. The people who hate this game are viewing it through a modern, impatient lense. The curse text boxes that appear and the transitions from day to night aren’t that long at all, people are acting like they are interminable. They help with the pacing and make it more challenging. The same with the cryptic nature of the clues people give you. It takes some detective work, but people can figure it out. I and thousands of other kids did back in 1988 (I was 10, beat it multiple times). I love everything about it: the colors, the RPG elements, the vibe, and the music... man, so memorable for me now, 32 years later. Singable, catchy, and sinister.

Rose tinted view of a game ya played along time ago. But I won't lie the music is awesome, especially the day theme

[@stoshbeast1]

I wish someone would post a 100% complete walkthrough of this game. Everyone always forgets something.

[@RetroGameStream]

Go for it. I'd watch that.

[@wow-bc1it]

Very good and skillful playing. Some books I never knew of until watching this video.

[@sirkeithv1112]

The reason it gets a bad view from many also is because that pop up that reads about the curse. It's a challenging game. A lot of so call gammers are to afraid to play it, but rather take a crap on it. The music is also fire 🔥🔥.

[@franks471]

Watching the player farming hearts is totally annoying.
