Completed without any deaths and with the best ending.

[@OldManDoom]

This would have been a game worth $59.95. At least back in 1990. Castlevania was my favorite series, and this is a great remake. Oh and for anyone who was thinking, why the hell was he taking so long in the first Mansion?! Well time doesn’t pass when you are in a Mansion, so if he is going to take a long time to farm for hearts- it is always best to do it inside a Mansion. That way you don’t murder your time limit

[@chibineowing]

I love the addition of the bosses in the mansions

[@FreakEating]

The revamped look is amazing. Loved Simons Quest so I gotta give this a go. Thanks for posting.

​@derektereve286 Your evil Bruh!😂

[@jasonmaxwell9762]

This remake is the best. It fixes all the little things that was wrong with Castlevania II without changing the original experience.

[@jaredelizardo201]

@jasonmaxwell9762# so true especially the villagers criptic messages#some of which r actually lies

[@josephforjoseph]

Beautifully well done. All the additions just make sense. Great playthrough too and a big thank you to whoever made this.

[@foxmiller6772]

nice take on Castlevania 2. as a classic Castlevania fan. I really like the work and dedication that went into making this. I like how it has the mixture of Super Castlevania 4 Dracula X & Sympathy of the Night. graphics and the gameplay looks very impressive. many props to the people or person for making this. looks really awesome. I would like to play this game if I could.

[@swordofstabbingold]

The night is not so sympathetic, as Simon's quest players know.

This was wonderful thank you for sharing this find of an awesome fan game!

[@javelin6831]

Never understood Konami's obsession with remaking the first game a billion times when Simon's Quest clearly needed work. This is what should've been on the SNES instead. I know I'll probably get hate for such thoughts, but damn man.

[@imacommentator]

Why the hate? I think many people would agree with you. So many first Castlevania remakes: Super 4, Chronicles, home computers awful remakes (except Sharp X68000), phone remakes. Castlevania 2&3 deserved better remakes, maybe a la All-Stars games. Better translation, maybe, SRAM savings, maps(Castlevania 2). Faithful Castlevania 3 16-bit or PS1 port! Instead, Konami kept it up with (sometimes useless) remakes and ports of first Castlevania...

[@LoveFor298Yen]

I don’t think they wanted to touch the game after the criticism it received Simple business model; do what works and is liked

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

What Castlevania II could've been on the Super NES...

[@dreamlandnightmare]

This is more Genesis than SNES.

[@stoshbeast1]

@@dreamlandnightmare but they're both 16 bit systems

[@dreamlandnightmare]

@@stoshbeast1 The systems still had distinct graphics.

[@DrBIeed]

If we’re calling it SNES i’d like it to have more of a CVIV feel graphically and frame wise.

[@P1983sche]

Wow so well done! What a fun thing to watch.

[@TheCodedtestament]

I love this game. The exploring aspect of it is fantastic, the music is awesome, and the visual presentation is great too.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Yeah it is fun exploring

[@marhansalawasna3876]

1:44:25 Dracula: "We'll meet again!" lol I'm surprised at first

[@rramirez4217]

This is amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@03bgood]

I love how this game kinda got the "Metroid: Zero Mission" treatment.

[@m.a.packer5450]

Very awesome, this has to be the best fan remake I've seen

Not sure what this.. 'posses' means. Now, 'process', that I understand.

[@abcmaya]

sweet. my favorite castlevania. Simon's Quest!

[@doomguy8324]

This looks really good. I like that you added bosses in the dungeons.

[@TheDracioN]

Yes, thanks Konami for giving up on Castlevania and making friggen pachinko machines. -.-

[@valentinoproductions1940]

RIGHT??? lol... Im gonna miss Castlevania

[@anemite2]

we could say that gaming is evolving, unfortunately, is evolving to generic novel games, shooters and action fgames

[@yagokain4189]

after lords of shadow 1 and 2 i dont want another castlevania game, atleast not a hack and slash game thats for sure. it wasnt a bad game but if i want to play hack and slash i play god of war

[@knight0fdragon]

Castlevania is a hack and slash genre though... Well the non metroidvania variants of the game anyway

[@5065ca]

anemite2 I.K.R 😔 (I know rite)

[@marcmarc4776]

Really liked the added boss fights!

[@lordrussell666]

So i think your guys did a great job on remaking this game to look like a snes look alike nicely done on graphics and everything

[@nbttl1975]

Just got this today! loved it!

[@QuartzIsAnOxide]

I literally just beat the original Castlevania 2. Literally, like 10 seconds ago. I didn't know this version existed xD

[@RTUG00]

This game is perfect. The graphics, the updated soundtrack. Everything is so good!

[@mayfrasonsier]

Well done! Gotta tweak the bosses just a biiiit more. Dracula was a bit disappointing but the other bosses were awesome. And Dracula's castle was superb. Nice touch adding the ghosts.

[@zaveiddarkwindguardian7887]

This facelift makes the game look beautiful. Updated sound is a nice plus too.

[@dthegrimm]

Thank god no commentary. Thanks for posting this.

[@nikoma_]

Nice work

[@RohgishSun]

Dope...the depth of the layers of darkness is hella dope.

[@foxmiller6772]

oh yeah and nice touch on the music to.

[@lionocyborg6030]

Looks like a cross between Super Akumajou Dracula and Dracula X Rondo of blood.

[@msw0322]

With Symphony of the Night sound effects ;)

[@Rassenomatjutut]

With Super Akumajou Dracula, you mean Super Castlevania IV, don't you? In Japan, it was just called Akumajou Dracula like the original FDS version.

[@lionocyborg6030]

@@Rassenomatjutut Yes. I call it Super Akumajou Dracula to avoid confusion with the original FDS game.

[@trendmassacre8423]

This is very similar to how I wished Simons Quest would have turned out before I played the game the first time back in 1988, minus the 16 bit graphics. Good job on this, and I really like adding a boss before getting each part of Dracula's body.

[@TheNewEmphinix]

Awesome play

[@matthagen67]

I'm interested in this!

[@Penfold8]

I love the draining effect using the blue crystal!

[@seasonalmommy7173]

Love this!!

[@LunarvanaStrike49]

Nice effort at a remake, looks nice

[@zediahtimmons9704]

Dracula flapping his arms if hilarious

[@brendanw8136]

Came here to say this. Looks like a good remake over but that Dracula sprite animation, yikes.

[@neoasura]

Dude, this is awesome! I only wish the frame rate as a tad more smoother, then it would be the ultimate CV2 remake so far!

[@DJDanceClassic]

The framerate sux , is it 15 fps ?

[@Dejawolfs]

this is a pretty nice remake. what software did you use to make this and how long did it take?

[@romeos187]

THIS WAS AWESOME

[@romeos187]

DOWNLOADED AND PLAYED! ALOT OF FUN. GREAT WORK

[@franfalu]

The original one was incredibly difficult to finish without knowing what to do (eg: equip dracula's ring while speaking to ferry man). I was just able to finish many years later thanks to walkthroughs.....

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

You have to equip Dracula's heart to make the man on boat bring you to the other side of the river or lake .

[@srinivasanarayanan8120]

Theme music and SFX are also amazing

[@igodreamer7096]

Very interesting! =)

[@thanebear]

This is so fuckin rad. I need to be able to play this stuff.

[@SpecialAgentOso]

It's a decent remake, but a whole lot more could have been done. Props on fixing the bosses, definitely definitely a plus! Extending the original songs (improvise/orchestrated with a tracker) would have been a treat. A complete clone of SOTN's mechanics would have been great, but this is a sufficient port, it's just that some things look a bit sluggish. Decreased costs to help the player progress sooner would have been welcome. Voices would have been epic for boss dialog before battle. As for the visuals, it's not too bad.. but there's a LOT much better looking concepts on DA that would have been great!

[@jasonmaxwell9762]

The reason why it's good. Is it's pixel perfect to the original. A different format would have entirely changed the game. This and ARM2 are the best sequel remakes ever made.

[@ChrisX_212]

Aside of a perfect fan game... I find it amusing that the sprite for Dracula makes him look like he's flapping his arms like a kid pretending to fly. Dracula: I CAN FLY! I CAN FLYYY!! Simon: AW, SHADDAP!!

[@timm_3r]

This is great.

[@castlev1986]

nice remake

[@algol291]

Can't play this. The music is better on the NES, and that is the best part of this game. Unlike most, I like Castlevania II.

[@WeirdEdz]

I agree the music is bland here

[@DantesonofSparda85]

so...in the course of this awesomely fan-made remake we go from a simple leather whip to basically a long-chained flail with holy fire...I like it!

I was looking up Castlevania to see what games got remade and I ran across this one I never knew all of these years

[@graysnake8585]

The fact that Simon belmont's armor is red kinda makes him look a little bit like Gabriel belmont from castlevania lords of shadow

[@imacommentator]

It is red in original boxart and ending animation

[@ricardodoblasbermudez3827]

Excelente remake

[@capgamer26]

super awesome game remake. but why not gather all of the weapons? was the grinding really necessary to show? i would love to see the sacred flame and diamond weapons maybe the silver dagger. i like how the flame whip increased in strength, was that because of the ring or something else?

[@MorbidThrasher666]

This shit is awesome,gonna give it a go soon. Always wanted a remake

[@emotionz3]

Impressive.

[@2199]

The guy who did this is a genius. The graphics are tight.

[@DJDanceClassic]

What about the framerate?

[@smoothALOE]

It's like PC during the 16-bit era of gaming, haha! Not bad.

[@retro3188]

Cool!

[@jaredbaratta8589]

You did a great job reconditioning the game. That being said, you could have done us all a huge favor by editing out all of the goddamn repeated attacks to increase level. Just get on with it. l hope you will go about revamping DRACULA'S CURSE. Would like to see Grant, Syfa & Alucard given the high definition treatment & maybe make it so you CAN get Alucard after taking the Syfa path.

[@GothicXlightning]

forget to mention the mighty TREVOR BELMONT, but I guess Alucard will be considered the same hero too,

[@jamesdixon6332]

16:45 If you want to bypass all of the heart farming in the first mansion.

[@xBlaster]

Finally I can play the game

[@IzludeTingel]

Cool remake. Love how packed Rover Mansion was with enemies that don't just "patrol" back and forth. It's good when you have enemies that actually target you. But then elsewhere, the devils that shoot fire (and other critters) were a bit too relaxed in this. If someone decides to remake the game, yet again (which I hope they do), do it COMPLETELY in SOTN style. This just took elements from it, but could have taken advantage of a lot more, including graphics and effects. (The blocks were just ugly in this) dracula's castle could have been a lot more challenging. The original CV2 was "rushed" and they didn't finish making Dracula's Castle, nor did they actually implement a true boss. The nice thing about remakes is that there is no deadline, take all the time you need and give us what we've been waiting for :) A full final level and a truly challenging boss fight.... you can also extend the amount of days for the good ending in order to fit the new content.

[@echidknux6738]

So we now have the PC Castlevania Trilogy: Super Castlevania 1 (Fan game) Simon's Quest Revamped Super Castlevania 3 (Dracula's Curse 2020)

[@MotorRoach]

This is pretty neat. The only thing that is disappointing are the boss fights, given how incredibly basic their movements and attack patterns are. They could have been much more lively.

[@mustang10141980]

Mandatory bosses...nice!

That new whip smacked the taste out of my mouth

[@jonathanwpressman]

How was this made? I see/hear stuff from a few games. Thanks

[@aputridpileofb-movies6542]

A great remake, the only thing I would have done differently is add in some optional side quests.

[@systemafunk]

What's up with the flame whip? Is there an added upgrade in this version? The menu clearly says flame whip at 59:39, but the whip looks different later on.

[@2199]

I don't remember harpies in the old Simon's Quest. Nor with the flame whip that you loose hearts every time you use it. The graphics are tight. They should have up dated the NES games for PS4. These graphics are tight.

[@angelvic14071]

WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE!

[@renevinet5770]

Simon Belmont is 7 feet tall. He kills zombies by the hundreds. If he were here, he would consume Dracula's forces with fire balls from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse!

[@KyleDoveGaming]

Nice Sephiroth sprite @47:13.

[@EnjoySackLunch]

Neat!

Cool

[@AlbertCalis]

1:36:21 - The Belmont Shuffle! lol

[@madhatter8508]

I would have loved it if Konami remade the Castlevania trilogy for PC-Engine CD-ROM, but if I had to choose between Rondo and the original trilogy I'd choose Rondo.

[@XAlucardmoonX]

This Belmont is too tall

[@Ryusuta]

This is a really well-done remake. The only thing I'm kinda iffy about is Simon's walk cycle. It looks little scrunched up. Nice playthrough, by the way!

[@PointMan5555]

According to the plot, that makes a point

[@Ryusuta]

2:20. I feel bad for those two guys who got hanged in the mansion. Not only did they die in a disturbing way, but it also looks like they had to pee really bad too. Double whammy!

[@CFEntertainment1]

Is it possible to play with a controller or keyboard only?

[@josvel2344]

This version was so good

[@Rassenomatjutut]

It would've been cool if the final boss battle had been followed by escape sequence where you have to run out of the Castlevania ruins before it collapses while Simon's theme from Super Castlevania 4 playing, in the style of Metroid games.

[@rossmerchant8435]

Yeah the final battle is a big underwhelming. I guess that's a fault of the original. He only has one move, and the room is about the size of a save room

[@Rassenomatjutut]

Actually, Konami should have added much more music tunes on different areas, like Mad Forest in forest, boss theme(s), different themes for each mansion, and Vampire Killer at Vlad Graveyard and Entrance to Castlevania near the end.

[@MadisonAndAlex2010]

I need the OST right now.

[@Seiko180]

the ending theme sounds awesome .. but i think should be sounds a bit more slower

[@theartistguy2668]

We need remasters of the original 3 Castlevania games. I'd put Bloodlines in there as well.

[@franciscovega2042]

This looks great. It definitely reminds me of super castlevania 4 but it's a bit off. Still badass.
