Castlevania NES Secrets and History | Generation Gap Gaming

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Can anyone guess where I filmed the footage at 3:30 of the Castlevania cartridge and castle door?

[@PixelGameSquad]

I can 😘 But I won't give it away

[@tamaking86]

Avgn?

[@luismatus6743]

Whitby abbey?

[@darksideblues135]

GenerationGapGaming the NES doesn’t have a save feature? That doesn’t make sense. The game opted for no password. Probably due to the fact that the famicom version allowed game saves. So it’s easier to strip a function out then to add a function in. There are many games that have save features and passwords on the NES.

[@spidermcgavenport8767]

The original Castlevania was my absolute favorite arcade game. I spent so many quarters on the arcade version I just had to have it in the nes. vs. Castlevania but Player's Choice 10 Castlevania would be my all time most memorable.

[@jrvbamafan1]

Literally beaten this game multiple times as a kid, and never knew about all the places to kneel for free treasure. I always look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Glad you learned a few things. thanks for your continued support man. Have a good day.

[@masterrserch3971]

I think Simon's Quest is pretty underrated. The music is dope too

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Hey dude! Great to hear from you! The music is amazing in Simon's Quest. I would like to cover that game one day too

[@masterrserch3971]

@@GenerationGapGaming thanks man... yeah that game gets unnecessarily bashed, i guess cuz its so different from the 1st one. U def cant complete it though without the game guide or whatever.... kneeling for 5 seconds with the orb at the wall?? Or to GET the orb or whatever it is??? Lol come on, too hard, developers! I think i actually called the NES HOTLINE for that one...

[@acidreighn]

I think the biggest issue with Simon's Quest was the bad translation. For the type of game it was, being able to read the correct dialog was pretty much essential. And they sorta borked it. That's why the only way people in the west ever finished that game was via a guide or a buddy telling them what to do. (like kneel for 5 seconds to summon the tornado) But it's a classic imo Also, Bloody Tears = best Castlevania song ever!

[@solearesoul]

I know people hate on it, but Simon’s Quest is my favorite Castlevania. A few years back I played Castlevania 2; Redacted, that replaced of of the unhelpful clues with real ones, and fixed some of the other problems, and it was awesome. Highly recommend checking it out.

[@larrybiggets6702]

Agreed, that's my favorite one between 1, and 3 from NES.

[@johnnihil1689]

Man I love this game series. Never get tired of 1, 3 and 4.

[@tamaking86]

man...a huge worldly "thank you" to those 2 ladies that gave this game the most unforgettable music score ever bestowed upon the 8-bit console.

[@SquidProQuo80]

The both of them are absolute queens! I don't think they realize how much of an impact they have had on kids that grew up obsessed with their work. They shaped my interest in history and my tastes in music... I'm forever indebted to them.

[@NESComplex]

What a masterpiece... both the game and your in depth review! Very cool dude

[@megadan2988]

NESComplex u did a great job chris, hope all is well with u buddy

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Dude your contribution to the intro was amazing! Really set the tone for the video. Thanks for taking part!

[@greglemieux9809]

Complex is the Best.😎

[@jeremiah6462]

​​@@GenerationGapGaming Do you not know about the secret hearts at the foot of Dracula's staircase? Seriously?

[@robertwrase6026]

One of my favorite games ever. Love the difficult challenge. The atmosphere and music is just so damn good too. The original 3 Castlevania games are so great in their own rights.

[@GoodVibeCollecting]

One major tip is that you can actually walk through Dracula's legs during his second form without taking damage. This is useful if you get cornered. Not sure how many people know that.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

woah! i didn't know that. Thanks!!!

[@hijous]

Low tier trolling right here. Lol

[@riffraff4967]

True to a degree - i "think" you avtually have to wait for him to do a high jump as he nears the edge of the screen, then you can safely go under....been so long....man i loved this game

[@GoodVibeCollecting]

@@riffraff4967 I'm almost positive you can walk through him if you use holy water.

[@19Szabolcs91]

Great game, good video, but there's always more. On stage 4, you can avoid the first skele-dragon by just walking straight under it, and you'll reach the door before it can hit you. Similarly, on stage 3 I find it easier to walk forward towards the platforms with the hunchbacks on, and turn back when they jump down. They will always do the jump with the bigger and slower arc, making it easier to hit them. And on stage 6, if you don't have the stopwatch and are overwhelmed, it's better to stand on the stairs to take a hit, because you don't get knocked down if you are on the stairs. This strategy becomes incredibly valuable in Castlevania 3, of course. Hilariously, despite having beaten this game dozens of time, I never knew there was a 1-up in the game. It's insane that there's only a single one, and it's so cryptic to get. Makes you wonder what is even the point.

[@venomhemi3914]

I played this 1st time in 1988, I still play, its still 1 of my all time favorites.

[@marvinmobley6294]

I like how they improved navigating up and down stairs on Castlevania 4

[@RussLyman]

Omg yes. Great episode. That intro with Complex was perfect. Loved all the props too, glad to be able to make that custom controller for you as well

[@TimDavis77]

Do you have a site to order those controllers?

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks Russ! Your controller is amazing!

[@joeywall4657]

The music alone tells so much of the story. This is one of the brightest gems of my gaming history.

[@MKVarana]

I'm surprised the "re-imagined" section didn't mention Harmony of Despair remixing the entire game as a single level.

[@jeremyabbott4537]

I remember everyone trying to skip the entire level by getting to the elevator and try to glitch up to the top lol

[@tsunderecat413]

or how chronicles is itself a port of the sharp pc version of castlevania

[@jaredt2590]

Simon's Quest was the first one I ever played. I played this one in the 90s and was a natural making it to Frankenstein's Creature and Igor with no effort. It took some work but over the years I beat the Creature, Death and finally Dracula. This is a fun one for me to go back and buzz through from time to time. I need to upload some video footage again. I'm really good at this game. I've beaten death with just the whip without getting hit by his pscythes.

[@greatgoen2125]

I have 2 copies. An early version that has a manufacturing defect that makes Simon walk in the air across screen and a later version that fixed it. Looks like the capacitors were too close to the chips and then they fixed it with later sold copies. I never saw a recall. Noticed this on a few of the first versions of other games where the capacitors were too close to the chips and caused overheating.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

wow that is so cool. I would love to see some footage of that.

[@mikeengland80]

40 years old and I finally just played castlevania for the 1st time. Could not believe how hard it got. Thanks for this great video to help!!

You're welcome Mike. Glad it was helpful. Happy holidays

[@P1983sche]

That moment when you’re on your lunch break and GenerationGapGaming gives you the perfect entertainment to complement it. 16:14 Mullet boy on the far right in the inventory table! I just noticed it!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Yeah dude! Hope you had a good lunch with the video. You found mullet boy too! Nice.

[@P1983sche]

GenerationGapGaming This was your best video to date. Nice work, this look like it took even more effort.

[@ArcNeoMasato]

Not gonna lie, it made me smile to see that Simon figurine at the start of the video. That guy was actually the first "adult collectable figurine" I got in my collection.

[@michellewolyniec6159]

The soundtrack is my favorite part of the game...way to go, ladies ❤❤❤

[@GenerationGapGaming]

They really did a phenomenal job!

The music for the first stage is so iconic. I love when thry sneak it into other Castlevania games

[@noside.foxhound]

20:31 in all my years of playing Castlevania and being "sure" to reveal all the hidden treasures, I didn't know about this one! fantastic!

[@darksideblues135]

Noside Foxhound he missed one. There is a money bag in the clock tower after the pork chop location. You have to stand on the gears for a period of time to the right in the screen after the screen with the pork chop.

[@noside.foxhound]

@@darksideblues135 Oh! I missed that one too! I guess? can't quite remember in all honesty.

[@dirge341]

Fun facts, you can skip the underground section of stage 1 by damage boosting off the bat. You can also one shot the big bat, medusa(holy water), and the mummies (boomerang.) Bonus!! There IS IN FACT a hidden 1up in this game. As far as anyone knows, it's the only one.

[@GamingAintEasy]

Fantastic video! All of these secrets and history videos are top notch! It makes me want to leave work right now and go play Castlevania. The intro with NES Complex was awesome! I believe MegaDan is not actually a human with how good he is at NES games (he must be a robot).

Almost 30 minutes about one one my favorite games of all time ? My weekend is complete.

[@imkerrusin]

Another easter egg for the original Castlevania: if you do the Street Fighter Special (Down, Down-Forward, Forward and B) Simon will shoot a fireball from his whip.

[@XAlucardmoonX]

What games specifically because I tried this on the classic NES Castlevania and it does not work

[@imkerrusin]

@@XAlucardmoonX It was the classic nes game on the console. I'm pretty sure it was the hadouken command. if not, it might have been the shoryuken command. I remember doing it a few times when I played it. You could do it on the rom technically, but it was removed on newer releases.

[@dante04srt]

I got this game as a Christmas gift in 1988 along with my NES, Cobra Triangle and SMB2. I have never gotten past the 2 mummies. I may have to give this another shot after all these years.

At the end of stage 11 just keep walking to the door when you get to the Skele-dragon and you can skip fighting it all together

[@BIZARBIES]

I adored this game as a kid. Played the mess outta it, very frustrating at first, but once you play it a couple hundred times it gets a little less frustrating! I remember beating it the first time... glorious day! We had a rotation of games, and were very blessed to have what we had growing up. Cherished memories.

[@hiway7]

A masterpiece. Possibly the best game ever made.

10:53 I think invisibility potion is correct. In Simon's world, he's invisible to the enemies when he gets the potion. He flashes only for the player's benefit.

Exactly.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Well put. That makes sense actually. Thanks man.

[@Aguyfrom225]

I played this game a lot but haven't played it in a year or so. This video makes me want to play it again

[@HunterPBrown]

I still blow my friends minds playing this game since I can actually finish it.

[@darksideblues135]

Hunter P Brown did you know? After stage 99 the game stops counting the stages and it continues over and over. And there is a maximum of guys you can get by points. I believe it’s 32 guys. Maybe 36. Somewhere around there. So if you try to get more after that score is reached, you can’t get anymore guys even if you got 50,000.

[@HunterPBrown]

@@darksideblues135 I'd usually stop the second playthrough since nothing else really changes.

[@darksideblues135]

Hunter P Brown actually it does change. The damage you take goes up. Eventually you lose half life from a hit.

[@HunterPBrown]

@@darksideblues135... I think I got a Halloween LP I can do later this month. Now I'm curious.

[@darksideblues135]

Hunter P Brown go fire bomb when you can. After castle six, the game straight up starts cheating with the grim reaper. It’s seems that boss is the only one that changes the AI as the castles go by. Have fun with it. I might do it again to to see how many castles I can clear in one continue, maxing our extra guys allowed of course.

[@jasonsauriol2606]

I only have castlevania 3 on hard copy but this got me to begin playing through the game on the nes classic. I feel like I’ve missed so many years of great games by ignoring this series. Great video!

When I was in Jr. High, me and my friends were at the height of our passion for NES. We all had our favorite games, but the one series we were all nuts about was Castlevania. In a discussion on how far we made it in this game I made the mistake of calling Stage 13 The Courtyard, to much ridicule. I didn’t have this game, so I only got to play it when I found it to rent at the video store.

[@cvbabc]

This is one of the BEST video game videos I've ever seen! It's kinda funny to hear a Southern drawl explaining Castlevania, but it reminds me of my own childhood playing it when it was a new game!!! One of my best memories was spending a weekend completing it with my best friend.

I think what helps your videos a lot is that you cover the games pretty extensively, history, manuals, and then your own knowledge on how to handle it. Can make some veterans learn something new be it history or exploits and it makes it so much easier for someone new to get a refresher and then try to follow the guide and learn from there when they start playing. I would have loved this channel growing up haha, I hope this manages to get some younger fellas to try the games you cover.

Although I've been playing this game for nearly 30 years now I was shocked at how many other hidden treasures there are in the game that I didn't know about. Intuitively I know to test my whip out on blocks to discover the pork chops but the ones where you stand for a moment, or kneel for a moment, or walk against a wall for a moment is why I never found those. The only time I kneel is during combat and with the timer combined with the difficulty I rarely stand still anywhere for too long. Thanks for this wonderful and comprehensive video! :D
