I'm pretty sure a lot of these games were designed in such a way you were expected to call the Nintendo Hotline or subscribe to Nintendo Power. Nintendo Hotline was very expensive. Nintendo Power was just a normal magazine subscription. Point is, unless someone told you how to do the things, you would never have figure it out.

I was only 4 when my mum bought my dad a NES. The games he got with it were Super Mario Bros 2 and Castlevania 2 Simon’s Quest. My dad played Simon’s Quest over and over again and I would love watching him play it... i memorised his playthroughs so much that when I played it for myself I actually beat it as a kid :) I will always love Simon’s Quest and Super Mario Bros 2, they were the 1st NES game I experienced. After that I was a gamer for life

About the Garlic: if you drop it on an enemy, it will deal 1 damage, without stopping, until the garlic despawns after ~20 seconds. It will stun-lock any enemy it hits. It is only usable on enemies who you can drop it on top of, or who will walk into it. Flying enemies are virtually immune to it. If you drop a second or a third garlic, the damage will increase to 2 or 3 points of damage per hit, until they expire. They're all on their own individual timers and the damage dealt will drop accordingly as they expire. This weapon is great to drop on top of dragon skeletons to perma-stun them, or two headed monsters. They'll stop Death too if he runs into it. And if you use laurels, you can also use this weapon to easily defeat Dracula just like all the other stunning weapons as well. It may take 4 rounds of laurels to do this but it can be done. It is also without a doubt, the most cumbersome way to defeat Dracula so... You deserve a lot of swag points for defeating the end-game boss with this hard strategy.

I'm planning on trying to play through this again now that I own the Anniversary Collection on PC, and I'm sure I'll find this guide extremely helpful.

The first ending shown is the best one: in the second one (Day 8-16), Simon succumbs to his wounds, but at least makes it out of Dracula's castle, and that he is seen at the gravestone during the day means that he's still under the effects of the curse at night and the curse hasn't been fully lifted; in the third (Day 16 and on), it could be inferred that Simon didn't make it out of the castle, as he isn't seen at Dracula's gravestone and the text in this ending is a eulogy for Simon and the curse is still a blight on the land with no one knowing that it's still present. In the first (Day 1-8), Simon is at the gravestone during sunset, meaning the curse no longer has any sway on him at night. This is the only ending that we know that Simon is alive at the end on the game, and his curse broken, despite Dracula (who will always come back) clawing out of his grave.

Dracula's ring gives you a free hit when you are full health before deducting hp. It does not need to be equipped to function just looted and maybe equipped once. It's significance is related to the bloodstone and it's lore connection to vampires in parts of folklore.

Your defense increases as you level up, meaning you won't always lose health when getting hit. It has nothing to do with Dracula's Ring. All the Ring does (along with the Cross) is allow you to enter Castlevania.

43:50 - The reason that Dracula's ring is one of the parts you have to collect and not his fangs is because, traditionally, Dracula wore a large enchanted ring, usually a ruby. That enchantment is probably what lets you enter Dracula's castle; in the game, if you try crossing the bridge into the castle without the ring, you won't be able to break the blocks to jump up (even if you have the nail). If you look closely in the final battle, however, you will see that Dracula is throwing his fangs at you, so they were not lost at the end of the original Castlevania.

We had a WII U set up in our college's common room. Students would spend hours playing Smash 4 before and after classes. Someone brought in an NES, and all of the students who went to college straight out of high school kept getting killed on level one of Super Mario Bros. When it was my turn, I made it to 8-3 (using the warp pipes), and told everyone to hold down the jump button when stomping on goombas to get more air. Most of them had been tapping it, and falling into the second goomba when groups of them appeared. It's those little things we pick up from playing these classics endlessly.

From what I understand, it should actually be as follows: 1 - Best ending is supposed to be the background during the day with Simon there and the first ending text. No Dracula hand. 2 - Simon is there in the evening with the third ending text. Dracula's hand is seen at the end. 3 - Gray background with no Simon, second ending text where he dies (hence why he's not there). Simon is supposed to die for taking the longest amount of time, not the middle amount.

The flaws and premature unpolished & seemingly unfinished release just didn't matter! Nintendo knew we would buy it anyways, and so they just wanted to spit out new games. The graphics & sound in 1988 made up for it 🥴 We just dealt with the frustration, bought Nintendo Power at the grocery store, and fillled out the postage paid white tear-out card inside (with check or money order included) for a monthly mail order subscription!!🤩🤠

Is "prossess" a combination of the words "process" and "possess"? Does this then mean that one must go through the process of possessing all of Dracula's body parts prior to destroying Dracula altogether to end Simon's curse (or quest, for that matter)? Perhaps, then, the word "prossess" would be intentional if this is the case.

I just beat this game a few minutes ago, got goosebumps all over at the ending. One of the greatest game ever if you know what you're doing. It feels like you're really on an adventure. Castlevania 1 and 2 done, onto 3. I'm only 20 and I can't believe treasures like Castlevania flew over my head. Took me over a day of official playtime.

I think the endings are as follows: Fastest ending: Simon survives, but because we know that Dracula resurrects we also know it's the true ending Second ending: Simon survives the battle, but dies later due to the curse (because he didn't kill him fast enough it took a toll on his body) Worst ending: Simon doesn't even get out of the Castlevania, killing Dracula on his dying breath. That's why he's nowhere to be seen around the grave and the text is saying things about being remembered. Something you'd hear during someone's funeral. Also, black and grey background. Anyway, great video!

Hi, I just discovered this channel and I've watched 5 of your videos today! It's good stuff! You were asking why do you get Dracula's ring, and not some other body part? Well I think it's a reference to the Hammer Dracula movies. At the end of the first one, the last image as Dracula dies lingers on his hand as it turns to dust, leaving his ring. In the sequels, his ring is often highlighted as an artifact as the camera often makes a point of it. In a sequel, Scars of Dracula, his belongings were preserved and returned to him upon his resurrection. The ring was one of those items as he can be seen wearing it again. In further sequels, Hammer's idea was to have a successor follow Dracula in Taste the Blood of Dracula, wearing his cape and ring. Essentially this was a way to recast the role. A soft reboot by today's standards. But Christopher Lee returned to the role so the whole build up to the ring was half baked and ultimately dropped. So, I think Castlevania is referring to this, treating the ring as one of his possessions that must be returned to him to complete his resurrection.

Oh my god, before you said it, I never realized the Castlevania part at the end is really supposed to be stage 5 of the first Castlevania 🤯 You even cross the bridge before, that you cross in the other direction in Castlevania 1. And then the entrance hall is the infamous hallway before the Death fight. There's even roughly the same amount of pillars, each with one window in between them, just like in Castlevania 1 🤯 It really blows my mind

@U Can Beat Video Games - I really want to congratulate you on how you approached this game. I've been playing it since Dec 1988, and always go through basically in order of where the body parts appear on the sub screen. Watching this walkthrough makes me see this classic title with new eyes. It is a competent open world adventure, and you have played it perfectly for exactly the open world that it is. You tackled the challenges "out of order" but a very intelligent and competent succession. Thanks for providing new insight for a CV veteran. FYI: With the moving blocks over water-- If you simply jump while the block is moving upward, even if it is low, you do not need to whip or anything. If you wait until the highest point, you might be jumping just while it has already started back down, and you will lose momentum and height.

Also The Golden Knife's dmg scales with what ever whip you have equipped. So if you have the Chain or Morning Star whip it will only deal dmg of those whips. However you are correct that once you have the Flame Whip the golden knife is the ultimate sub weapon in the game in term of dmg. I use it all the time against Dracula.
