The History of Castlevania the Complete Saga - documentary

I had a lot of requests asking me to join the parts into one long video. I have edited the video to make it as seamless as possible.

Castlevania IV. One of the best games of my childhood; The gameplay, the atmosphere, the art, and ESPECIALLY the music, it brings back so much memories. I remember I use to watch my dad play this game all the time, and every time he asks me if I wanna play, I always say no because I found it a little too scary, while at the same time was still amazed by everything. It was pretty much one of the first games that got me into gaming. Thanks dad and Konami!

[@launchpadmcquack9305]

[@Midekai]

It's incredible how much work you've put into this video. Probably the best castlevania vid of last year

[@retrogamernes3121]

This video showed up in my recommended feed and I think this was very well done. I played some of these games so I have my own opinions on them but a couple of things about Castlevania Legends.. there are a couple of theories about why it was erased from the timeline. The more prominent one is that Koji Igurashi wasn't too keen on female protagonists..the other one is that the baby Sonya is holding in her ending is actually Trevor and the father is Alucard.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Excellent, you could be on to something regarding the female protagonists. Thank you

[@Deatheater4444]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Ignore him, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Trevor was hard confirmed to be Sypha and Alucard's son in the JP version of Legends, and in all but three of Igarashi's games, you had playable female protagonists. Several in some cases. Two of his games, Order of Ecclesia and the successor project Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, have women as the main protagonists. Legends was retconned out because it conflicted with Lament of Innocence's story. That's literally the reason. You had two prequels; one was new and expensive to make and currently on sale for the dominant platform of the day, and the other was an obscure game for the original Gameboy that sold and reviewed poorly.

[@simonbelmontxxx]

I can't believe how wonderful the documentary came out. personally you ranked up there with the gaming historian. this is such an incredible channel. thank you so much for your hard work. it's what keeps me most entertained on KZbin.waiting for your videos it's like waiting for the sun to come out from behind the clouds.

A tip for home computers with one button: Either, use an emulator, and map up to a second button, or if using the original hardware, wire a button, or add a button, and tie it into the Up control. I used to use Sega Master System or Genesis pads with my C64 and Amiga, and rewire one of the buttons to Up.

I enjoyed this right from the beginning, where Patman sets the record straight, once and for all, about Dracula (a.k.a Vlad Tepes Dracula in some, if not most, Castlevania games)not being an actual real - being😋, but the existence of his character was based on Vlad the Impaler (who just happened to be a very blood-thirsty tyrant in real life)!😱

Castlevania was the first NES I bought with my OWN money! I mowed like 10 lawns and went up to Software Etc. And grabbed the game based solely on the box art seeing that there was no internet and I didn't have Nintendo Power, so after buying it blind, it instantly became my favorite game on the NES, I beat it finally back when I was 12, such amazing memories, though sadly, I believe I had to resort to a Game Genie to beat it--I KNOW..., let the flogging begin!
