SNES Longplay - Super Castlevania 4

[@m.a.packer5450]

You really had to be there as a kid who was raised on Atari and NES to fully appreciate what a graphical revolution this was when it came out. It really did blow our minds

[@muhamadfaiz252]

who came here after the video of the world record game collection

[@LeonLang93]

Me :-P

[@wolfy4734]

!

[@eduardovillarroel9241]

I do!

[@noviasml8082]

me

[@dacolts24]

Wtf me

[@aliciaduncan2041]

music in this game is incredible

[@jzblue345]

Yes it is childhood favorite

[@jbran4201]

Agreed! I'm watching this solely for the soundtrack haha. It was a fun game too but the soundtrack was the best ever!

[@mattmurphy2755]

Yeah, I played this on Halloween. Music and atmosphere is on point big time, and very unique

[@jorgevp4092]

But a woman who likes this game is amazing. A woman like you 😚👌

[@Luingus]

I played this game on an emulator at school so i couldnt use volume so i couldnt hear the soundtrack. Im visiting this video because i hear i missed out

[@goodhumourwagon]

This game soundtrack gives me chills. Being 16 years old in 1991 and playing this game over and over again just to be in this amazing world. Still stands up to games today with its dark mood and atmospheric gameplay.

[@MattC78]

One of the best SNES games of all time!

[@Nkipker]

One of the best games of all time! and soundtrack!

[@tangoseal1]

I think this was the best Castlevania ever made. I logged endless hours playing this over and over and over and over and over ... sigh ... memories.

[@XPOSEDTruth]

I agree. I could play this on and on, amd being forever happy and sad, that games lime this existed, and will never be created, in such a beautiful manner.

[@metalmat3651]

Music is so good in this game

[@pietjebel9130]

the music and sound effects are just so awesome

[@junnaulue3191]

Amazing music and great game. Brings back nice memories.

[@YokozunaNumber1]

Just watched the entirety. (Applauds) So many great memories of playing this. The end credits alone are worth playing a full game.

[@RsR27RsR]

Que saudade desse jogo castelvania 4 do Super Nintendo SNES. Não vejo mais esse jogo desde do ano de 1991 quando foi lançado. Parabéns para quem postou esse game que fez parte da época da Infância e da adolescência de muita garotada daquela tempo do da década de 90.

[@Thorium_Th]

Not that this would be impossible but the gameplay in this video is so fluent it almost looks like a bot playing this game. Well done! ❤🦇

[@Fox4251]

I find it amazing that this game was way ahead of its time regarding to graphics and soundtrack

[@letsfixthis]

Music at the end of the game made me tear up. I miss those days. Being an adult with all the bullshit worries and responsibilities fucking sucks compared to the day I finally beat this game. I miss it so much.

[@pietjebel9130]

i know what u mean , i kinda feel the same way

[@andoverkansas2581]

same here. :( life's as gay as fuck

[@mdavis5826]

so many anon's commenting on SNES/NES/64 soundtracks & longplays share this sentiment (myself included). Simpler times. Beautiful. Just get lost in it & relive those good times when you find time to play the games you loved from these eras

[@attiladerhundekonig3417]

letsfixthis every single one of you fuckers needs serious treatment

[@troyaturner1979]

This and Symphony Of The Night are classics.

[@IncessantWake]

+Troy Turner Yup !! even the art direction in both these games are incredible. I like that they even took enemies from Super Castlevania 4 and brought them into Symphony of the night. Same art direction. Great gothic game. Masterpiece they both are.

[@troyaturner1979]

Incessant Wake What stands out to me are the controls. Granted, Alucard moves better in SOTN. But Simon's controls in SCIV are MUCH MUCH improved!!

[@IncessantWake]

Troy Turner agreed. first of all. It's Simon Fucking Belmont. He is Castlevania PERIOD.

[@troyaturner1979]

Incessant Wake Hell yeah, but you can control Simon's jumps in mid air and you can whip in all eight directions. And what are your thoughts on Bloodlines? I think the game is horribly underrated.

[@IncessantWake]

Troy Turner Bloodlines is underrated because people expected more after the excellent SCV4. In my opinion Bloodlines is a bloody, fantastic game!

[@chrisc2037]

The game play and music on this game is simply stunning. Way ahead of its time.

[@1luarluar1]

the sound is superb and the graphic is just incredible...long live sprites...

[@retrosoul8770]

Yep, with all that glorious Snes showdown. Snes should have been called the Slow Nintendo instead of Super

[@rorymccallum7578]

Favorite Castlevania ever. The music was amazing too

[@rorymccallum7578]

Endezeichen Grimm ahahahahahahahaha, your mommy says, "get to bed Junior"

[@rorymccallum7578]

+Endezeichen Grimm boooo hoooo stop crying junior. Nice troll account by the way

[@rorymccallum7578]

+Endezeichen Grimm ahahahahahahahaha you fail cryer

[@1980sGamer1]

Would you consider this the best Castlevania game of all time?

[@Фанат2019]

Played it in 90’s, best memories

[@irq909]

Great game; loved it as a kid. I also love that this video is full gameplay with the game's stock sounds, with no commentary to speak of. Thanks. :)

[@XPOSEDTruth]

Undeniably, amazing. Makes me cry, and bite the happiness, at the same time. You, Simon, are in my heart.

[@cameronalexander7018]

When I was little I remember having trouble with the level at 14:40 that rotates 90 degrees. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to whip onto a hook and wait.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Cameron Alexander Yousa RACIST!

[@therealwillsmith]

The time it took you to beat the game, was the time it took me to arrive at the cave stage at 9:07 .___.

[@paranoidman15]

you mean the amount of time it took to beat the cave stage? :0

[@Surfer041]

Arguably the best Castlevania game ever made

[@JohnDoe-lb1kc]

Thomas Storff easily the best

[@Surfer041]

John Doe definitely one of my favorite3, I also loved Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness , Symphony of the Night, Simons Quest

[@JohnDoe-lb1kc]

Thomas Storff yup,

[@RodConvoy1987]

Thomas Storff Definitely! Why latter Castlevania games didn't use the same gameplay and such makes no sense.

[@Surfer041]

***** the music is so unbelievably awesome, it fits the game so perfectly

[@rickybridges3465]

That was one of the best walkthroughs I've ever seen to one of my favorite games of all time

[@pietjebel9130]

this is just an epic game, and it always will be

[@kty5222]

My favourite castlevania, the music is the best!!

[@aggressiveattitudeera887]

Room of Close Associates FTW!

[@NeroRedfield]

No

[@dboymax1]

And the multiple whip angles!

[@yroach]

I used to love the gold level block 9-1, so much fun!!!

[@wendyflay5114]

Old Simon was a cow to move around but the music and backgrounds were truly great for it's time. That's why I'm here. Thanks for sharing the memory.

[@xebatansis]

Draculas' sense for architecture and interior design is sublime as ever, but maybe he should get rid of those old candlesticks hanging in thin air. That might slow the Belmont clan down.

[@mdavis5826]

2:55 one of the best SNES tracks EVER. Gets me hyped every time!

[@Kahran042]

I love the fact that the music for the first stage is also the music for the final boss fight.

[@TheGameChanger]

Absolutely loved the soundtrack for this game. Watching people playing like this drives me crazy.. I'm the type that has to hit every single candle, get every single heart..

[@TheGameChanger]

And defeat every enemy and explore every inch of the game.. does a disservice to the game creators and the game itself.. imo

[@celticdruid998]

Best soundtrack in video game history. Period. Hands down. End of story. End of report.

[@nicholaslau9321]

Brought back memories. I was 6 when this came out. Thank you for the upload.

[@celican2000]

i was 16 great memories

[@polothedon]

The Classical music theme in this game was way before its time.

[@CakeOfJusticeXc]

So extremely nostalgic. Thanks for uploading this :)

[@tiamatxvxianash9202]

Thanx for an awesome trip down memory lane. Wow.

[@pilotamurorei]

This game was incredible. I remember when I first played it right after it came out. I didnt realize it was a remake then, but having Simon was enough for me. It wasnt the hardest game, but it was LONG.

[@tommypearson9260]

This game never gets old

[@rachelreid8621]

This was my first game of Castlevania i ever played.. I have been hooked ever since.

[@fuel4insanity6]

He played this like A BOSS!!!

[@VegetoStevieD]

For its time, this game was really a work of art. They put some much attention to detail. One of the best SNES games there was, without a doubt.

[@rustyshackle8000]

Your gameplay matches the iconic Belmont swagger strut so well. You walk as if the forces of Castlevania shiver at the thought of your mere presence, and Dracula envies your unbridled flamboyance.

[@GravityKnightFlying]

This one had great music

[@devilzdandruff9199]

Hearing this OST on the Genesis YM2612 really makes you forget about the SNES version.

[@Magnus1718]

34:41 the music hits your soul

[@jclerkley95]

I can't wait to get my hands on that SNES CLASSIC MINI.

[@bluegel1977]

Great walkthrough dude! I loved this game years back.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Judging by the comments, Castlevania is more a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE than a video game! Wish I'd played it.😞

[@vaysen]

Bit of a late response, but I am playing it right now on the SNES Mini, since this was way before my time. It is still very playable today despite the game's age, it is not too late to still play it!

[@robertbektas1810]

Sebas Vaessen dude so am I. Just finished it and it blew my fucking mind!

[@gdoubleu8045]

For a retro game it aged very well, its still thoroughly enjoyable. One of my favourites from childhood. Boost up an emulator!

[@kilroy987]

23:25 I think this is the first time that boss music plays in the game. Very stylish way to introduce a deadly waltz!

[@edwardgaines6561]

kilroy987 The creepiest, most creative boss here.

[@drax13]

The music in this game should have won every type of music award possible. Some should have been created just to award this soundtrack. Epic and magical in every way.

[@redbones01]

best game play out of the series. eight way whip, whip wiggle, jump control, etc.

[@Domarius64]

Thanks for uploading this. Me and my gf just watched the whole thing while I re-assembled a laptop, and had a chat about what the game was like.

[@WhiteStarx33]

2018 anyone? awhile watching this video i remembered those awesome times when i was watching my dad play this game

[@AngryMiddleAgedMan]

Raienryuu Guy hyped for smash ultimate?! 5 days to go mate

[@WhiteStarx33]

@@AngryMiddleAgedMan how did you know? damn dude 4days left for me though. never been this excited for a game like for smash

[@AngryMiddleAgedMan]

Raienryuu Guy yeah me too. I spend my time watching smash gameplay on youtube haha cant wait anymore!! 😂

[@xaviergreen2076]

38:13 reminds me of the purple tattered cloth monsters in altered beast

[@akositonton]

The atmospheric music at the tombstone REALLY REALLY setup the tone for this game. The music is I think what made this game a success, same with SOTN.

[@aggressiveattitudeera887]

45:12. I found myself standing in the middle of my bedroom holding my controller in my hand just like Simon is holding his whip when I first beat this game. I was heavy into this game. Spent my whole junior summer on this. Good memories.

[@MathieuPronovost]

my favorite game in the Castlevania franchise

[@BJPr12]

Who's here from the 90's era? lol This was one of my favorite games for the SNES back then, this and ZELDA.. Sighs.. it was so different back then

[@Killerlizzerd97]

One of the best castlevania games ive ever played :)

[@durangosandiego95]

Can you dig dem beatz. It makes you want to dance dem disco beatz.

[@Texy88]

I still remember how amazed I was when I first saw that Mode 7 effect used to rotate that entire room.

[@mryowzaman]

I really like how the intro music is the same as the final boss music.

[@jorgeegrojjorge]

my first super nes game whit an outstanding music and graphics a master piece!

[@TheCybernatoruk]

One of my favoutite snes games and Castlevania games. Dude, you smashed it out. I'm rubbish at this game and never got past level 3. i need to go back and play it.

[@CaleoGaming]

Can't wait to play this again on the Classic.

[@Thanquol180]

If you have a beef with Dracula, settle it with him personally. Don’t destroy his property

[@EPICBLASIAN1]

Another Dracula bites the dust. Epic. It's like watching Jesus Christ defeat Satan.

[@TheMegalion]

Ohh yeah

[@EPICBLASIAN1]

+TheMegalion 👍

[@simonbelmont1944]

Because Dracula is The Physical Embodiment of Evil that I have vanquish.

[@Aquien1]

you know nothing of what Jesus Christ has done

[@xaviergreen2076]

42:40 so that's where the gorefield soundtrack is from

[@MDthornton83]

Indeed. This game is a timeless classic.

[@paulolameiras861]

My favorite Castlevania game, and easily one of the best games of all time.

[@rubensalazar323]

Nostalgia just listening to the music good I had some good times playing snes as a kid.

[@trcsonic]

Smash Bros Ultimate, YEEESSS

[@missungitv7154]

the music isfucking awesome when your facing dracula at the end it pumps you up

[@batrekt5156]

avoiding the axe sub and catching the heart at 25:14 WOW

[@scottmahoney1230]

Great game I didntplay through the whole game up to close to Draculas castle stages. But thx to the last stage code and secret invisible platform below the final stairs. A waterfall of hearts , life meet and boomerang and 2x 3x shots. Allow me to beat game anyway

[@jjmiller1993]

damn man u got this fucking game memorized lol

[@jasonbrown8944]

I almost thought he was going for a speed run, there! Lol

[@canadianchamp1980]

god damn when that 1rst stage song starts, still get goosebumps. just fucking epic

[@earthobserver1007]

You would need leg muscles that strong to trek the entire landscape while swinging a whip enchanted against evil.

[@ladysnake8449]

Wow you've been hitting the Thigh Master haven't you Simon?

[@JayeK47]

SCIV was the pinnacle of linear side-scrolling Castlevania. The the somber music and dark graphics combine to make the best atmosphere of the series. It's a game I never get bored playing.

[@bri_in_space2163]

The nostalgia is real with this one

[@christianrosas5702]

What a masterpiece!!! This is a sample of what a true video game should be. The 90's and the 16-bit war gave us many excellent titles. This is just one example of them, and now they are all true classics.

[@Celestial07]

Ahh, Super Castlevania IV! It had.. The Rotating Room, The Mode 7 Skeleton Frenzy Room, The Swinging Chandeliers, The Library Book Platforms, The Disappearing Blocks with No Pattern, The Falling Staircases.. What a game!

[@celican2000]

i am crying right now watching it, my childhood is in here year 90'

[@documentalespalominos9019]

God you are pretty god in this game.

[@RepliesNotReadByUser]

Castlevania was always known for it's music and background. I never played this, in fact N64 castlevania (the first 3d vania) was my first and since the I've been hooked on all things castlevania and even made my way to the past to play and appreciate these older vanias.

[@odobenus159]

Castlevania has been constistantly horrid since the first 3D Castlevania. I recommend you get an emulator and see if you like Super Castlevania 4, it's my favorite of all the games.

[@fredheymans]

Such a great game, music score is top. Those damn spikes though, one touch ‘Argh...!’ Then instant death. Drove me nuts.

[@Shadowman820]

I think one way the series went wrong was to change the art style to be very much like something you'd see in anime where as this Castlevania and the older ones had a western classic horror movie art style . Given the time period and location these games are set in the anime art style of the later games never made much sense .

[@betulaobscura]

Excellent gameplay! Stellar game!

[@ElConradoX]

VK on MSX2 came out on October 30 of 1986, almost 2 months after CV1 on the Famicom, released in the begining of September. They were developed simultaneously but the FC version was the primary; the MSX2 game got changed to be different from it, making it a "remake". Most people don't know the about Sharp X68000, since it's a Japan-only computer that sold less than 1000 units, and the Akumajo Dracula game there is included on the PSX version, so I didn't bother to mention it for that reason.

[@shogunrommel]

Though I never got to play this as I didn't own an SNES & it's more a remake of CS1, I still have to say it looks like one of the absolute, best games of all time ever made. It reminds me of Shinobi 3 for the Sega Genesis: it's one game that I love going back to and playing again, especially with my Xbox 360 Genesis collection that makes it possible.

[@aleckermit]

Just running this in the background for sound while I study.

[@BenjaminGlatt]

Not one single orb pose. Come on, man.

[@LerminAura]

Benjamin Glatt lmao so I wasn't the only one trying to get my whip on to an "s" shape while in mid air?

[@Knoxtenor]

To everyone that says that this game is too easy, play through the second quest. A much more satisfying challenge. This game was groundbreaking when it came out. A true classic.

[@Securityletyoufind48]

Good ole memories "93" High quality music too 👍

[@harrybeau3537]

Perfect run ! GG dude
