CASTLEVANIA III DRACULA'S CURSE Orchestrated - Complete Game Highlights with Soundtrack

[@PsijicElectro]

Words can't describe this revamped soundtrack for probably my favorite game of all time. Right in the feels. Such a splendid job!

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

The original soundtrack is so good, it was such fun to remake these tracks:) and the game is fun to play also!:)

[@PsijicElectro]

@@vgmusicrevisited8668 its probably far beyond needing a remake sound track wise, but hearing these revamped makes me want to hear Circle of The Moon for GBA Orchestrated

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

@@PsijicElectro I never played it but I will sure check out the music! I'm sure it is awesome, as is most of the castlevania soundtracks:)

[@PsijicElectro]

@@vgmusicrevisited8668 it borrows and remakes a lot of songs from other Castlevania games. Especially CV3 so hearing the rest revamped would be so badass lol

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

[@stephensheppard1083]

I always loved this video game and the music in it. My dad who passed in 2016 was big on classical music, loved Mozart, Brahms, and Beethoven. He never played a video game a day in his life, but I feel he would have greatly appreciated this collection. The orchestration is immaculate, this turned my video game jams into a musical masterpiece

[@BlazingAuras]

R.I.P

[@scrungo7610]

Thanks for the unrelated sob story. Really improving everyone’s experience

[@THEOFFICIALHOUSEOFKARLOFF1985]

OMG you guys knocked it out of the ballpark... As a fan of the original NES trilogy , You did a Fang-tastic job capturing the tone of these classic tunes.

[@thegame346]

3:18 Trevor saying "nah I'm good" to the axe drop when he has the holy water is based as fuck

[@borip765]

Based.

[@Dust_kormoi]

Every one the tracks sound so good! Like they are played by an orchestra! Yet they remain true to the original feel of the NES versions. But with more of the feeling. Wonderful!

[@davidxavier7868]

My fave game soundtrack of all time, great to hear it in orchestral form

[@vdogaymer]

Wow you did an amazing job, hope game companies are listening.

[@HeroS_DionysuS]

Love this. I just tossed up a Castlevania 3 guitar cover. By far the hardest NES game haha

[@Dust_kormoi]

This sounds great. Very well done 👏

[@Tarazatfilms]

You -really - hit home with this work

[@johnburke2674]

Absolutely amazing to listen to…but can we also appreciate the flawless gameplay on such a challenging game? Wow!

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

It is fun to watch, but I have to be honest, it was done with an emulator, so a lot of saving / reloading to make it this good, I'm not that talented of a player ahahah

[@Diegoguatamericonsul]

Muy honesto de tu parte jajaja

[@hackplayer7194]

Seriously, amazing stuff! Castlevania content is one of my favourites, and you've hit the mark!

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

Thanks a lot! This has always been my favorite series of games as far as the music is concerned, The games are also a blast to play:)

[@CosmicCamelClash]

Great as always. Also : algorithm, please boost this video.

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

Thanks a lot, very appreciated! And yes, it would give me a boost of motivation! 😀

[@somehow3707]

Great job. The best tribute I have seen. Thank you for making it.

[@PowerUpJohn]

Wow! I loved Castlevania 3 and its sound track variants. This orchestral cover is amazingly good!

[@jasonleveck8546]

This is beyond the pale! Rapturous and beautiful!

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

Thanks a lot! Very appreciated:)

[@midguard7917]

Outstanding work with this! My only critique is that I wish each level had their own complete track and they played one after the other, with the boss track only once at the beginning or end of the entire album or something. You don't need to play the boss track in between every track, though I understand you were following the sequence of the game. It just gets kind of annoying if you're listening to the whole thing having the boss track repeat every few minutes. Anyway great stuff and got a sub from me. I will be following and checking out more on your channel.

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

Thanks a lot! I hope you will enjoy the content of this channel:)

[@kwkfortythree39]

Yeah, I would also like a version without boss theme after every level's one.

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

I understand, but the purpose of the video was to follow along the game playthrough with the music associates with each scene. It is really meant to be watched as a video. I will make a seperate compilation with all the tracks in order with no repetition:)

[@Kakarikan]

Stunning.

[@CosmosCattus]

This is so divine it's even hard to describe the emotions! Thank you a lot for your amazing work! Please remember how everyone enjoys your music when the thought of giving up crosses your mind. Your work is unparalleled! I'd love to hear one original composition of yours in that style as well someday! 😊

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

Thanks a lot for the comment! I don't think I will completely give up, because I love doing this, but I may start making a lot less, I love doing this but it takes a lot of time. I was hoping I would get a lot of interaction on this one, but out of my 2000 subs, only about 50 interacted with it. I will still continue though:) I love game music too much:)

[@CosmosCattus]

@@vgmusicrevisited8668 I can't help but come here every day to listen to your masterpiece while working :) I'm really thankful that you're here, even though KZbin is a bit mean! Really keep up the good work. I'd suggest you post each of these pieces separately and in extended version. With time people will surely notice your genius. I really wish someday even Konami would hire you to make music for a remake! I've already played Castlevania I while putting your remixed as background music, that's a whole other feeling! Thank you for everything!

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

Thanks a lot! Your support is very appreciated!!

[@blermp_xd]

@@vgmusicrevisited8668 honestly, many of these classics are great to see remastered. I also like how you sort of have different instrumentation styles for different games. Speaking of which, are there any games you've wanted to get back into recreating?

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

@@blermp_xd Oh yes, a lot of them, I think Legacy Of the Wizard has an absolutely beautiful soundtrack to remake, as well, as all the early final fantasy games, I could do it for the rest of my life and still have more to do lol

[@blermp_xd]

@@vgmusicrevisited8668 yeah! Many rpgs have incredible music. I know your primary focus is like mid 80s to mid 90s, but I'd personally recommend searching up the soundtrack of the 2000 game "Pokémon gold and silver", the sequel to 1995's Pokémon red and blue (you've already covered 2 tracks from red and blue), as it's one of the most renowned 8 bit soundtracks of all time, covering a variety of moods, even if you don't have plans to remake it.

[@hkyaumati]

Your arrangement is great. Better than original. I can see that you have already put much effort on this. Love this channel.

Amazing job, one of my favorite games getting an orchestra/goth makeover and hearing it full makes me smile. Keep up the excellent work!

[@moxxiefan2.055]

This was an outstanding masterpiece my friend. Remastering the CastleVania III: Dracula's Curse OST with modernized orchestral instruments was a great choice, Plus, The sound effects we're a cool touch. From the opening to the game over theme, This was an awesome orchestral CV3 OST project. A huge thank you for doing this my friend. Next up is An Orchestral Tribute to Super CastleVania IV.

[@vgmusicrevisited8668]

Thanks a lot! Yes indeed, castlevania IV would be a great one to remake! I have friends who don't like this soundtrack but I always loved it!

[@moxxiefan2.055]

Well I'm really fond of the Super CastleVania IV soundtrack. It has that special atmospheric mood & the instrument choices we're great for it's time. Plus, The SNES soundchip is top notch. I highly suggest that the Super CastleVania IV Orchestral Tribute be released in October, Since the SNES classic is still celebrating it's 30th anniversary. And do check out the trailer of the upcoming CastleVania Chronicles III fan game made by BMC WarMachine. So definitely check that out. Again, Thank you so much.

Nicely done with the soundtrack! I was curious about the gameplay footage, though: did you record yourself playing through? If so, then you're pretty darn good at this game!

Eheheh, the answer is, yes I did record myself, but no I'm not that good, I wish ahah I recorded the game with an emulator, saving and reloading everytime I got hit, so it appears like a flawless performance:)

Because Sypha being a girl was a bit of a metroid-style twist, in the end cutscene where she takes her hood off and has long hair blowing in the wind it's supposed to be a surprise reveal.
