Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge Music (Game Boy) - New Messiah (Crystal Castle)

[@Brokout]

After going to Castlevania Music University, studying hard for 15 years and earning my PhD, I have come to the conclusion that this is one of the best pieces of music in the series. Thank you.

[@riddleiddle]

Pfsh that's just a party university.

[@intensellylit4100]

Having gone to the university of ears, I wholeheartedly agree with Tom L's statement.

[@andreasfreij4485]

The only better ones than this IMO is SOTN and CV4...

[@gu3z185]

@@andreasfreij4485 Every Castlevania has jammers, complete Jammers. My favorite sountracks are probably CV4, Aria of Sorrow, SOTN, and Rondo of Blood.

[@andreasfreij4485]

@@gu3z185 Good choices. I think Curse Of Darkness and Lament Of Innocense has amazing soundtracks as well. Curse a little better IMO.

[@lelxrv]

Terribly underrated. One of the best Castlevania tracks.

[@GenyaArikado]

Cloud Castle and Original Sin are my favorite tracks of the game

[@mischitary]

80/90's Konami: "a sequel to a pretty bad castlevania game for the gameboy? eh, guess I'll just crank out some mindblowingly good music."

[@vicrattlehead5614]

[@gu3z185]

[@NeoShadowWolf]

If a Game Boy can survive a bomb blast and a drop from a skyscraper, it can survive a fiery soundtrack.

[@crunchsixfoe]

Underrated and serious kick-ass tune right here

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

I agree, my favorite Castlevania song overall :)

[@npc_blob1609]

I just LOVE those three seconds at the start. The whole damn thing, of course. But that bit particularly. If I hear it, I instantly recognize it.

[@martindouge1947]

It's amazing how all of the dungeon tracks of this game have short but definitely amazing intros, just for you to hype yourself for the micro-second it takes for the level to display.

[@nighthoodlupin3500]

New Messiah has always made me think of fighting off monsters while on a carriage speeding through a burning forest. Something like in the Rondo opening stage but crazier.

[@duannekhristopermangampat9608]

Yeah me too I Overpowered against Monsters

[@nathangraves1069]

every time i'm playing this castlevania can't believe the game boy can support such an amazing sound and music. love this castlevania.

[@QShaque]

One of the best soundtracks in the entire castlevania series.... now that says a whole f***ing lot about this soundtrack...

[@RikimaruLimbo]

+QShaque i agree i was like 10 when i heard this masterpiece

[@kalajel]

+QShaque Most of this game's soundtrack was fucking top notch, even the weak tunes were pretty decent. I could spend hours listening to the music with the tune select code. They don't make Castelvanias like that no more...

[@RickyRei1]

they don't make Castlevanias, period. LMAO

[@alucard624]

And most likely never will now since Konami gave up and shifted to mobile platforms.

[@brokentechnika783]

or just play bloodstained

[@n7eet]

me... at age 8 in 1992, traveling alone across the Atlantic on a 13 hour flight... game boy in hand and headphones on.... bring it on world...

[@fhistleb]

This whole soundtrack was amazing. Especially since it was just on the gameboy.

[@WayneDeluxe]

and a printer lol but this is just a 4bit sound. its brilliant

[@1980sGamer]

It's not 4 bit. It's 8-bit.

[@TheSportsoholic]

I played this theme in my head a countless amount of times whenever I needed to amp myself to do stuff as a kid. Can’t believe I found this!

[@ProjectDevilEye]

One of the most energetic castlevania themes ever made, definitely up there as one of my all time favorites.

[@gjtrue]

Most folks and fans unfortunately don't seem to know of Christopher Belmont (being canon to boot) but he certainly has some of the best tunes. This and his theme from the previous game (and for some odd reason, unused in Castlevania Rebirth) "Battle of the Holy" are awesome.

[@NinjaContravaniaManX]

100% true.This and Battle of the Holy are my all time favorite Castlevania tracks. Bloody tears etc. is so overused, I can't hear it anymore.

[@ManiacalForeigner]

Just to clarify: "Battle of the Holy" did get arranged for Rebirth, but like you said it went unused, though it was included on the soundtrack as a bonus (in a medley with Lost Painting from SOTN).

[@DenkyManner]

The remix of this in Castlevania ReBirth on Wii is amazing.

[@jehad78]

My favourite track from Belmonts Revenge.

[@RoninAgain]

Takes a heart in a candle. Eats a rib hidden a wall. Extends a weapon from a chandelier. Vanquished the room with (insert sound effect) Dies to platforms. Loves the Song. (Dracula ponders)

[@zeusnicolasmoya8806]

best game song, and one of the best game-boy songs of all time.

[@joeylafrond2472]

This why we need emulation.

[@williammcguire130]

It's against the law to make a bad Castlevania OST

[@hodlenbinglebutt1117]

Harmony of Dissonance?

[@yikesman7374]

While likely not a popular opinion, i greatly enjoyed Harmony of Dissonance's soundtrack.

[@hodlenbinglebutt1117]

I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it pretty well for the most part. It just sounds sort of bad with the GBA compression.

[@yikesman7374]

Cancerous Commentor True. I kinda want a remaster, but that's a pretty big dream. Lol.

[@tohruearth3580]

I enjoyed HoD soundtrack greatly but not the boss themes but i loved aqueduct of dragons and clock tower

[@MRtetri5]

I honestly feel like castlevania 2 on the gameboy might have one of the best soundtracks of the gameboy,

[@reymicroc]

when you are having an exciting battle in an elegant, fancy castle

[@Seiyol]

This game had no business being as good as it was. Made by a skeleton crew between two miserable games. Wtf. It's criminal that it wasn't re-released on the 3DS virtual console.

[@VGPorage]

They should just have skipped the first game and just put this on 3DS virtual console instead

[@Despatche]

Legends is good though...

[@YoshiAngemon]

@@VGPorage If it makes you feel better, Konami is putting the game on the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, with Castlevania 1, 3, and Super Castlevania IV. What the other 4 titles will be, we'll never know. Apparently, they skipped Simon's Quest, as well.

Whether you come from the original game or the MAGMML2 level it was in, I think it’s safe to say both are a PAIN to beat.

[@fedupN]

Never played the game when I was younger, no Gameboy, but I LOVED the artwork for it! I had some of the BIG game book guides and one of which was the Gameboy guide and it had this in it. Cloud, Crystal, Plant, and Rock castle..though i swear i called one of them the Mud castle, all had unique looks to them.

[@Crixusmaximus]

This slaps so hard. One of the top game tracks ever.

[@azkha4806]

Exceptionnelle cette musique. Celui qui n'a pas tenu une game boy dans sa main au début des années 90 ne peut pas comprendre. Si je devais retenir 2 musiques game boy ce serait celle ci et Metroid II SR388. Les jaquettes des jeux de l'époque avaient quand même de la gueule.

[@Suedeash]

This alone is why the two Adventure games are some of my favourite GB games period, the music in both games is fucking beautiful but the second game steps it up to a huge degree. I thought stage 3 of the first game had good music but this is on another level completely.
