Just as I scratched that Cv itch rewatching this vod, Jerd uploads the revamped fangame, amazing timing! 👍🏼 Keep it up with retro games once in a while, thanks! 🦇

[@trident042]

Well done, Jared! Had to drop by and bomb you a handful of subs for persevering in the face of Dracula's many, many fireballs. Hope you have an awesome year's end!

[@shoken4421]

I commend Jared for finishing a game that arin Hanson rage quit and has never picked up,I salute you sir!

[@giacatnguyen9635]

This would still be worth watching just for the soundtrack. I never really got into the series because my parents wouldn't let me play anything with a horror theme, but I discovered the music much later. It definitely holds up. It's also sort of making me wish you'd play Blaster Master, but the lack of unlimited continues in that one probably makes it a bad choice for this sort of thing.

Never had a fireplace for stockings here. Our stockings were always placed on the stair railing instead.

[@Bananahammock681]

Indeed I am enjoying it, thanks for asking Jared. Sometimes it's just nice to relax to someone enjoying a game. And these vod uploads help make it so heckin' manageable to watch and enjoy at my own pace.

[@ArkticFox87]

Let's see Dracula's curse next!

[@ThePandaProcrastinates]

Chat is so diligent! It is inspiring.

[@Ails1234]

1:02:30 there's probably a german word for watching someone fuck up real bad but they don't know it, but you know. That's what I'm feeling here 1:13:47 Jared PLEASE

[@DoctorQuack]

I think "Autounfall" would fit. It literally means "Car accident" It's really bad but you just "have to see it"

[@Skotzenn]

Please let live me live through you capturing playing SOTN for the first time. One of my all time favorites.

[@zer03d14]

Aww yeah this gonna be a good vod. Happy Holidays Jared.

[@mario_maniac9368]

Congrats, this was fun to watch. I really enjoy you playing these retro games the quick games you beat are fun to watch

[@jnhensley09]

Oh, you NEED to play Symphony of the Night. Not only is it a great Castlevania game, it's easily one of the BEST games made. I saw your play through of Aria of Sorrow, so it's very similar to that.

[@Santiago-Farrell]

Love classic Castlevania

[@B.J.Camire]

Well done! Always an impressive feat to beat one of those "NES hard" games for the first time.

[@tailsfan109_SonicSFM_Gamer]

2:32:45: Plenty of times... with only the whip.

[@capitanmaverick]

Happy holidays Jared! Hugs from Mexico to you and everybody! :)

[@rpggirl017]

I promise I won't comment again after this, but... I live in Tucson, Arizona. We have days of a high at like 65-75 degrees at this point. Usually if we get snow, it's in January or sometimes March. We don't get a white Christmas usually. Which I'll admit, does suck. But two times in my life it has snowed on my birthday (Jan 17th). Once on my 7th birthday and again on my 18th. We also had a freaky occurrence where it snowed on Easter when I was 10. I remember being at my grandma's house just standing outside doing little twirls to swish my dress before we went to church. It was so much fun!

[@thomasffrench3639]

Nice, we have the same birthday

[@rpggirl017]

I know I'm commenting a lot (sorry!) But since I see that in chat, Happy Birthday Lisner! I'll be 35 on Jan 17th. I'm an old person lol

[@rpggirl017]

I never beat this game. I played it again and again, but never beat it. BTW, I love Jared singing along with the music. Shows how into it he is 😁

[@db_524]

Same. I love it when he sings with the game music.

[@therosesword007]

love this yes keep doing nes classics especially ones you never finished

[@joshuadaugherty6096]

I remember playing this game! It was brutally hard, but it was worth beating it! I can sense Jared's pain when he couldn't get through the final three levels. They were HARRRRD! Just remember this: One does not simply play Castlevania.

[@lancelindqvist8848]

Awesome

[@AndyPScott]

I’m an hour in and he’s on the 2nd to last level… this is going to be a fun watch 😂

[@AngelCopout]

Friend forced me to git fud at this game years ago. It's a lot easier when you learn all the cheese strats. I'm still watching your first attempt so not sure if you learned this or not but... -You can skip all of stage 5 consistently every time by getting knocked up to the top floor by the flying head at the start of the stage -You can cheese Medusa with holy water and the mummies with the cross which insta kill them -For some of the long walkway parts in stage 4, 6, and 8, you can just keep walking forward without stopping and the flying heads won't touch you. There are other tips but I don't remember them much. The game is purely about timing so once you learn when things happen in the game, it's a breeze.

[@zannrazor8569]

Hello Past Zannrazor, hope you had fun delivering presents

[@Ifrit1332]

Haven't played this one, but I beat "Vampire's Kiss" on Snes... and got all 4 endings.

[@rpggirl017]

As far as stockings go, me and my little brother always got candy and little toys in our stockings from Santa. Never any electronics, but cool stuff nonetheless. My brother is 11 1/2 years younger than me, so we usually got different stuff. Sometimes I got a CD in my stocking. That's because I'm a HUGE lover of music. My Mom always did our stockings, and she never failed to make me and my brother Davey SO happy! 😁

[@YuroStyle]

I love how at the beginning Jared avoided the Holy Water. I think this is one of the few Castlevania games that makes it top tier for a subweap. Usually I avoid it in most games.

[@genesisSOC]

Yeah the way enemies flinch in this game makes it very strong. I beat Castlevania 1 NES when I was 4 back in the day, I replayed it again a few years ago and managed to get all the way to final stage, even beating Death, without dying a single time or using any holy water. Just like Dark Souls, it's a game about memorization and execution, the execution itself isn't very hard once you memorize everything

[@NonEmployee]

I'm curious if you heard of Castlevania ReVamped. It's a fan game that basically asks the question "What if Castlevania on NES was a Metroidvania?" I've been playing it a lot lately and been having a blast with it so far. Might make for a good stream or even a series on Projared Plays? Up to you :P

[@nowherefrosty]

After 17 minutes, the struggle gets real hehe

[@Louis_Cyphriel]

I'm not so sure if he even really understood that cookie monster receive damage only on head too...

[@magicalcapi9148]

Thank chat that is Castlevania, not Ghost'n'goblins, that game is impossible Merry holidays everyone!

[@rpggirl017]

Oof. "StarTropics"? That game is all "Depth perception, what/where are you???" I never played the original. Growing up I played "StarTropics 2: Zoda's Revenge". That one is awesome because you time travel, and at one point, end up on "Baker Street". All my Sherlock Holmes fans say "Hey!" 😁😁😎😎

[@TheDirtbaggrif]

The definition of NES Hard

[@TestAcct46]

Hey Jerd made it to Death pretty quick! (Sees video is not even at halfway done) Uh oh

[@Thohean]

I skipped about an hours worth of high retry areas, but otherwise enjoyed the play through.

[@ersika6004]

Comment for the algorithm

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

Did he ever realize the Hunchback is immortal?

[@Bassi3D]

Happy Holidays Jared

[@db_524]

Time to munch on some of what I missed during the stream last night. NomNom.

[@parallelself]

oh please do Crystalis

[@Aodyri]

Castlevania 1, not too hard. Castlevania 3? That is broken controller territory

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

The Japanese version of CV3 isn't as bad

[@nerathi]

This game will always be what I think of when I think of getting "Nintendo'd"

[@ymeynot0405]

@ProJaredVod @1:34 Resulted in a lout "What the Fuck!?" from me to the point that family poked their head into the room to see what was wrong, and I'm 40. THAT has to change on a stream... Give use plenty of notice as to when you do that because you will have a TON of eyes for that. It will be at least as fun to watch as when you played Doom.MyHouse
