I just have to say, if I havent already done so in any one of your other videos.... I have hard weeks. I get home from work and the only things I wanna do is find something to eat and sleep till my next shift. The weekends are the only peaceful times I have, since I have next to no social life and I have no issues with just staying home to relax and scroll KZbin all day long. Whenever I see that you've posted a video, I can feel my body and mind ACTUALLY relaxing. I feel joy in gaming that I havent felt in decades since when my old babysitter would come over and pull the Sega out of his backpack. I can feel myself getting giddy to watch probably the best thing I'll see all weekend. You are a service that no one thought they needed until they clicked on your channel and realized they needed you all along. PLEASE keep going.

Thank you so much, ucanbeatvideogames, for covering one of my favorite Sega Genesis games! I may own the enhanced Colors cartridge of this game, but you went to town with so many of my favorite games! And when i was a kid, my friends called the gear boss, "Gear Man" anytime they see me play this.

Didn’t know if you knew, the silhouette boss in the Versailles palace was created by a fan during a contest for the game

[@Warsmith_The]

So were the buzzsaw beetles in the factory, and the plant-monkey things in the garden.

[@ProjectDevilEye]

An excellent title, one I'm glad to see you cover. Fun fact: John is the only left-handed whip wielder in the entire family to date which I thought was a really neat touch considering he wasn't born a Belmont by blood.

Oh bonza. I was a SNES kid so I missed out on games like this. Time to learn all about what I missed! Thanks as usual UCBV!! Glad I'm back to being able to catch these as they come out too. 😀

[@poughkeepsieblue]

Yeah, i was a snes kid, because the genesis controller felt like holding my dads boot in my hand, and trying to mash the laces. Also why i prefered playstation to x box, the original x box controller felt like i was playing leapfrog for adults.

[@yeahyeahwowman8099]

​@@poughkeepsiebluegot to admit, I hated the buttons being in a row that close together on a Sega controller. Like after playing with the Snes controller, the Genesis one felt like a major downgrade. Probably decent for fighting games, even then I would rather play Mortal Kombat 2 on Snes.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

@@yeahyeahwowman8099 agreed, i also felt the buttons were too close, and thats why the snes style of dpad, and abxy in a "d pad" setup, is copied today by, everyone.

i have to admit, this channel grew on me, but i have 1 confession, if i played the game as a kid, i will watch the whole video, if the game is not somehting i have nostalgia, i really just enjoy the first part, anw, it is a great thing to watch i must say.

[@generaljimmies3429]

You didn't mention in this walkthrough, but one of the reasons Eric is pursuing Elizabeth is because she murdered his girlfriend. Eric is on revenge

[@skyblazer8732]

Fun fact for those not in the know: in the Japanese version of the game, Eric's weapon is called the Alucard Spear, and implies that at some point, Eric's family had dealings with Alucard himself. This name change was retconned eventually when Portrait of Ruin was released, as the Alucard Spear is one of the legendary weapons you can acquire, along with Maxim Kischine's (from Harmony of Dissonance) weapon, the Stellar Sword.

[@GlyphCage]

That stage 3 theme is one of my favorite pieces of music in the whole genesis library. Standout track in a game full of standout tracks.

[@TheCrescentKnight]

Fun Fact: There is a fan theory that Eric Lecarde is the descendent of Alucard and Maria Renard. The main evidence for this is the fact that he uses the "Alucard Spear".

[@Mikeyade]

First Like / Comment. I happened to log in 6 seconds after you posted this. I love your channel and fall asleep to your mellow voice often LOL :3

[@AzurGamer81]

I think lore wise why John Morris's life was cut short was due to the Vampire Killer was only ment to use used by the Belmont Clan and according to the whip's memory Richter was the last owner of it but due to the events of Symphony of the Night Richter pretty much cursed the Vampire Killer and John's son Jonathan had to cleanse it in order to fully use it.

[@markrobinson224]

I loved this game. While Castlevania 2 was my favorite of the pre-SotN entries in the series, this one was a close second. I honestly wish the game had been longer.

[@StarkMaximum]

It is so funny to imagine that one of Michiru Yamane's first credits was on a Game Boy Turtles game, not even a console one, and then they're like "hey let's hire her for Castlevania and subsequently cause an absolute revolution in video game OSTs, making Castlevania go down in history as one of the most iconic franchise soundtracks in gaming history. NBD"

"It's like a Birdemic up in here!" Quick, call Alan Bagh and Whitney Moore and grab some coat hangers! It's the only way! Awesome video on Bloodlines, UCBVG!

[@Carl-R]

By far my favorite Genesis game. Great video.

[@Vicerion17]

Some spoilery stuff for future games but lot's of fun lore and story came from this game that wasn't mentioned in this game like how Eric's spear is the Alucard Spear given to him by Alucard, hence the expert ending with it glowing. Then there is this games "sequel" so to say Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, starring Morris' son Jonathan where we learn using the Vampire Killer whip without being a full Belmont actually drains the life of and eventually kills the user and that Eric is also killed by another vampire and his daughters are turned into vampires. It's quite the big juxtaposition in how older Castlevania games really have little story compared to the later games, which I think we have Symphony of the Night to thank for that along with all the other tropes later games have.

[@joshuaizzo8893]

Wow, such a great choice for a video. Benn playing this since 94 when it came out, never beat it yet. Awesome job!

[@co81385]

Yes! I'm so glad that you are covering this game! You could argue which game is the best 16-bit Castlevania game, but this is a great game! It certainly deserves a guide! I do love the theme of this game, and that the levels represent different countries. If the development team ran out of space to add more levels, it makes you wonder what the additional levels would have been, and what countries that they would have represented! I do love the addition of a second playable character, that has a bit of a different playstyle. Personally, I enjoy playing Eric more, but I like that the game gives you the choice! It reminds me of when Zero became fully playable in the Mega Man X series.

[@FrankKnife1]

Id argue it's better than super castlevania 4. Don't get me wrong 4s still good I just like bloodlines better. It's got a way better game feel. It's more restrictive in where you can whip but it's more fair. The game itself looks intimidating but it's fair. I don't have a single bad level in this game. Only one bad enemy that I just need to get used to. The dumb palace of Versailles garden swinging scythe enemies. But that's more due to me not slowing down. This game doesn't have a time limit so take your time.

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

Always love these Castlevania walk throughs. I feel like I was on the journey with you.

[@youtubecrack]

These series of Castlevania videos helps. I haven't played these games since I was a kid. I remember beating one and three after many many restarts. Symphony of the night was just a masterpiece and the game boy games. Oh my God.. actually easier than these ones.

[@Toofpaist]

I love your content. You play all the games I never had a chance to play as a kid. It's awesome to be able to see all these games beat. Please, keep up the awesome work!

[@NinjaNezumi]

Mosu is one of the words for moth in Japanese. I believe it was a katakana translation from the dutch. So it was a mistranslation back into English. Mosura is for Mothra. 1:51:00 So yes, they did name her the Princess of Moths. It just wasn't properly translated in English. It definitely was not Moss, because Moss in Japanese is Koke. Some fools online think the Katakana of Mosu is Moss in Japanese, which boggles my mind. Japanese have never translated the English word of Moss into Japanese, and there is no official Katakana for Moss.

[@ivervj2923]

In this game the final stairs are to the right when usually the Belmonts always have to go up to the left

[@alexanderwsm6296]

About that spear. Wikipedia says it was made by Alucard (the very one from Castlevania 3 and Symphony of the Night). So, there actually is the lore behind it.

[@FrankKnife1]

Fun fact: you can whip the medusa head fireballs on the final stage. You dont have to duck. I personally like whipping the fireballs as its 10x cooler. And its not all too hard to do. Just whip when you see the fireball leave the medusa head. You could also whip the higher fireballs for style points.

[@beavinator]

Underrated game with an underrated soundtrack.

[@FrankKnife1]

Truly the most underrated classicvania. Unjustifiably so.

[@Phantom.Gaming64]

Nice to see you cover this classic game. 😎👍 I never understood the reasoning behind censorship during 80's and 90's. Contra got censored at some parts of Europe with Probotector where humans are replaced with robots. TMNT had Ninja replaced with Hero in it's name, and here entire subtitle was swapped because of word "blood"? Thank goodness those days are behind us...

[@gabrielilles6506]

Good call with this one!

[@rogeneyusi1943]

There's some additional lore about Eric from Castlevania Judgment but I'm not sure how canon it is. Eric was younger there and was quite arrogant believing the spear was more powerful than the whip. He even challenges the spear's creator, Alucard with the spear itself even after Alucard reprimands him that the spear was a complementary weapon and wasn't supposed to compete with the whip. Since it's a fighting game, naturally Eric disagrees and tries to prove Alucard wrong by trying to kick his behind with his very creation.

[@bilbobagginz2794]

@@poughkeepsieblue it's only like 18 bucks and they have about 20 to 25 games that I want to play but I don't want to pay full price for. And I'm not a chronic poor so 18 bucks is nothing for me.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

@@AnneHathawayRules yeah, but playstation offers a better deal, less payments, and better access to free games. PS has aalways been the better option, and their controller doesnt feel like an overinflated tire in your hand. IMO.

[@AnneHathawayRules]

@@poughkeepsieblue when I am playing a shooting game I like the trigger to actually feel like a trigger. And if PlayStation is so much better than go ahead and play it. There's a reason they sell way more consoles. But I like Xbox. Why do you care so bad that I like Xbox? Go play your PlayStation and stop trying to humiliate me because I have fun on a different gaming system. It's classless.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

@@AnneHathawayRules i apologize, i am in no way trying to humiliate you. I was though, joshing you about x box, and being a little catty, because of the unwritten rule about them being rivals. I respect your preference. If you prefer their trigger, thats all good, i prefer the N64 trigger over playstations. Cause that felt good to me. So i could easily crap on playstation, when comparing it to the N64. Dont take me too serious its all just fun and games.

A minor correction: the version of Rampart that Yamamura worked on was not the NES version, but Konami's completely different Famicom version. NES Rampart sticks much closer to the arcade game, and was implemented by Bitmasters, who also programmed several other ports of Rampart for consoles at the time.
