#Simon belmont song movie#
I still recall watching the first one in 1989 as a wee six year old thinking that Halloween was a movie about kids trick-or-treating. Growing up, Halloween was one of my favorite film franchises. I think it stands as one of the best reviews I’ve ever created and I’m super proud of how it all came together almost a decade ago now. It really fitted in well! That whole review has a crazy Halloween vibe to it. The liberal plot re-imagining used shots from Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.
Man, time flies! This was a massive effort that took many hours piecing together, and it’s one of my personal favorites.
I reviewed Super Castlevania IV back in October of 2008, nearly 10 years ago. Konami showcased the raw power of the brand new SNES and it left a lasting impression to say the very least. Japan received it on Halloween 1991 (how fitting) while North American audiences got it in time for Christmas ’91. Nearly 26 years ago today, Super Castlevania IV arrived on the Super Famicom and made its mark as one of the all time Super Nintendo greats. LOST IN THE SHADOWS Almost everyone loves the first SNES Castlevania game These games now command a small fortune and I would never have assembled my collection if I got back into the SNES scene post-2012 or so. I beat the rush and nostalgia train by several years, and boy was I thankful about that. Castlevania: Dracula X was one of those games, but I was fortunate enough to nab a copy for exactly $40. However, even back in 2006 there were a few key titles that commanded $40+ even cart only. Titles were not only cheap but they were plentiful as well. Many didn’t cost more than $10 shipped, and a ton literally went for as cheap as $5 shipped. Early 2006 was a great time to be buying SNES games by the truckload. When I got back into all things Super Nintendo in early 2006 (January 17 to be precise), I was lucky to be at the right place at the right time. Being that it’s Halloween season, let’s grab our magical Belmont whip and take a closer look… Dracula X was the final 16-bit Castlevania game as we know it.

The epic NES series naturally transitioned to the SNES with the epochal Super Castlevania IV in 1991.
Play through any of the pre-N64 renditions and it’s easy to see why this beloved franchise has been lionized by so many fans throughout the years. Hell, the name is nearly synonymous with the NES and classic gaming itself. The mere mention instantly conjures many warm memories for gamers of all ages.

Rondo of Blood's 2007 enhanced remake Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PlayStation Portable would feature a fully orchestrated version of "Cross a Fear," highlighting the swashbuckling sensibilities.Pub & Dev: Konami | September 1995 | 16 MEGSĬASTLEVANIA. This was apparent right from the opening cutscene set to "Blood Relations of Heaven and Earth" but reaching a sonically charged pitch in "Cross a Fear" as Richter Belmont enters Dracula's castle by sundown. Whereas Super Castlevania IV relied on gothic atmosphere to set the mood, Rondo of Blood was a more anime-inspired adventure with swashbuckling undertones.

And while Dracula X has its own merits, the sound design is not one of them, with Konami taking full advantage of the TurboGrafx-16's audio capabilities as Rondo of Blood was the first game in the series published on disc technology. Rondo of Blood is one of the most curious games in the Castlevania series, not receiving an official North American release until 2007, with a heavily reworked version released for the SNES in 1995 as Castlevania: Dracula X.
