I love the way Simon walks in Haunted Castle. And when he gets hurt and killed, he sticks his ass out at the camera. He literally gets his ass kicked. His digitized scream adds to it too.

[@shawnfields2757]

I hope they keep that in when he shows up for Smash Brothers. As a reference to this game.

[@Briraka93]

Fun Fact: in Castlevania Chronicles, if you hold down L1 and R1 and select either original or arranged mode, you can then choose up to three different sound chips for the soundtrack to play off of. Which also means that you can play arranged mode with the original mode's soundtrack.

[@nocturneprividyenie2391]

In regards to arranged mode's tunes... Every 100 years, Casltevania rises from the ashes, called to the earth by the ruin & sadness emanating from men's souls... whenever there's a leap year, Funklevania rises from the boomboxes, called to the discos by the raves & fistbumps emanating from men's spandex...

"Why is the game harder for America? Isn't that usually the opposite?" I know of two games (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Ninja Gaiden 3) which were BOTH harder for their American versions (though for different reasons, strangely... M&L came out in America first and so the international release got a better balance, whereas Ninja Gaiden 3 was Japanese first and bumped UP the difficulty for localization)... There's also, of course, Castlevania 3! But I actually can't think of any time other SMB2 that localization opted for something easier. Does FF: Mystic Quest count for this? That's in conception, but it fits the discussion.

[@TheTrueKnight01]

[@SuperJM9]

The load screen tune from Castlevania Chronicles original mode actually came from Castlevania 1. The Famicom Disk System release in Japan allowed saving to three different save files, and featured the same tune. As far as I know, Castlevania Chronicles' difficulty was a response to those who sent letters to Konami complaining about how easy Super Castlevania 4 was. Also, as brutally hard as the first playthrough is, each subsequent playthrough increases the difficulty up to and including the seventh playthrough.

[@meganinten0078]

6:50 I like red hair Simon. I would like to have this version of him as an alternative costume in Smash Ultimate.

Maybe as an alt palette? Like with black armor and the red hair? Although I would like to see a costume.

Castlevania Johnny is my favorite Johnny. I hope you tackle some of the IGA games sometime as well (although perhaps you're waiting for Bloodstained to be on the horizon and lump that one it), particularly the Sorrow series (or at least Aria). I've tried playing Circle of the Moon and it was super disappointing to me with its ridiculous difficulty spikes and expectation of grinding. Maybe I just went to the wrong area at some point, but when I can hardly beat a boss while abusing the fuck out of save states *cough Zombie Dragon cough* then I know it either wants me to grind for hours or is just shitty design. Anyway great vid Johnny and I'll be looking forward to Simon/Richter dittoing you in Ultimate if you ever do fan battles!

dont worry the game really is that flawed. but for some reason johnny and his friend nathan like it. maybe they just havent played it recently.

I like CotM. The other Igavanias are way too easy (Besides Ecclesia, the best CV game ever made). And it's at least better than Dissonance, which is so piss easy that it can barely be considered a game.
