Castlevania: Haunted Castle - Cross Your Heart (8-bit NES remix)

Made from scratch. I transcribed the song by ear, and optimized it to sound best within the NES' stock limitations (meaning no addition sound chip expansions). I had to take some slight liberties with backing melodies to get the most out of the song, but I think it was for the best, and I'm happy with the result. One thing of note is that I used Mega Man style synth drums (using a downward sliding triangle wave) , and am unaware if any Castlevania songs used this. I just felt like using it to give the toms more "depth".
Made in "FL Studio 8" using the "Universal NES Soundfont".

Haunted Castle should've had a console release

[@retroinspector6474]

On PS4 now.

[@ZatohRondohoon3227]

Cool!

[@NetNerdy]

How did you make this? ie What instruments on the Universal NES soundfont?

[@Metalwario64]

I don't know. I downloaded it from Zophar's Domain 3 or 4 years ago, and I just checked and it doesn't seem to be there anymore...:/

[@kabutops87]

i swear its from fist of the north star i might be wrong since its been years since ive watched it

[@Metalwario64]

I believe they were referring to my old avatar (which mysteriously disappeared when KZbin last overhauled...:/), which was Kenshiro.

It may not be NES-authentic, but this is really damn good!

[@JP-dm5nq]

Nada mal para no estar hecho con FamiTraker.

[@DumDoDoor]

I love your 8-bit remix here! The music sounds quite faithful to still sound awesome. =]

[@setsers1]

Imagine This Is Megaman!

[@Pan_Z]

Sounds like an official rendition. Nice one.

[@tomypower4898]

Yes problem 😁 Btw, may I ask you a question please

[@BioHx]

Can I use this as a soundtrack from my castlevania based game? I'll give you credit for it.

[@NetNerdy]

I remember the universal NES soundfont, but I forgot where I got it.

[@AlmightBlackDragon]

Instant KZbinToMp3. I'm so imagining Simon slaying skeletons to this.

[@kungfuman666]

Cool man nice work. I love this game and the song is KILLLER XD

[@Zaonabiuibil]

DAMN BRO!

[@刘贝-n7o]

真的是神曲

[@WednesdayMan]

slow it down a slight bit it's too fast for NES music. and not too much otherwise it'll be too slow.

[@tessament]

It sounds more like an NES version when slowed to 0.75x

[@The_Str4nger]

To fast? Maybe for those who live in PAL regions

[@elijahlarock167]

First of all, the theme is not from fist of the north star. Second, why would you say something like that? Haunted castle is not related to fist of the north star.

Cv2 has a Hokuto no Ken reference.
