My favorite part is him casually opening up sealed copies of games to show what was included. Absolute mad man.

I had forgotten how absolutely perfect the NES soundtrack was. Not only the melodies, but the chip sounds themselves really convey whats happening. That is the work of a master artist.

The fellow Silent Hill fans totally understand your pain, brotherly Castlevania fans...

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was the first game I ever competed/beat. It's especially memorable for me as my mother helped me beat it by reading the map book and guiding me.

That Vampire Killer footage looked familiar...turns out my hunch was right. Nice to see my scrappy review footage helped with this documentary. Looking forward to part 2.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this game. When I was a child my parents took me to one of those "trendy" churches. You know the kind, where the pastor tried to "connect" with youth, and "rap" with them.... Ugh it was so embarrassing by proxy. Well this was of course in the 1980s and Nintendo was in full-swing. He had a Nintendo in the basement of the church and used to sit with us while we played games during youth group. Well, one day he picked up a copy of Castlevania, and of course we really liked it! David or "Davy" (the pastor) really ran with this. I guess he thought it fit in well with youth group as it was Christian oriented, and you were fighting evil on behalf of God. After a few weeks, he started coming to church dressed as Simon from the video game. Eventually he brought a whip, and started to try to whip stuff around the church. For instance, would try to whip "out" the candles etc. He was never really good. One day he was dressed up at Simon and was giving the Sermon (this time in front of all the church, adults etc) and he was trying to make a point... pulled out his whip and tried to whip one of the lights... but on his backswing he caught a child in the eye. That child eventually lost her eye unfortunately. It was real sad, especially considering the insurance the church carried wouldn't cover this; it was considered an individual matter. I don't know what happened to the pastor, but the little girl who lost her eye is doing okay now, and certainly cracks a small smile when she sees videos like this :) That little girl is me.

"WHAT IS A MAN , A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS "

This is criminally underviewed. It's so good I had to watch it again. Now on to part 2... again.

Opening those sealed copies in front of me when I can't afford the used game only copies is torturous... Lol 😂😐😭

I'm just gonna bare my soul here and make a confession to the interwebs. When he showed off that immaculate castlevania collection, something happened........ I got nintendo hard.

Simon's quest is super underrated in my opinion and one of my favorite Castlevania's of all time. Thank you for the great video and keep up the quality work!

How many people were screeching every time he cut into one of those sealed treasures?? Best Video Ever!

There are a lot of KZfaqrs I would love to meet, but it would be a huge honour to meet DJ Slope. There are many content creators who put in a lot of work into their channel, but the amount of time and dedication that DJ Slopes puts into these videos is outstanding and invaluable. Thank you so much, Daniel, for all the great content and all the hard work you do for your viewers!

I grew up on Castlevania Bloodlines, love that music.

This is probably your best work yet Dan, can't wait for part two.

Video game collectors all around are passing out watching these classic games being opened today.

You have an amazing collection behind you! I’m actually a bit envious but also psyched to see so much Castlevania awesomeness in one location. Way to go!

An excellent upload. A whole lot better and enjoyable than others telling the series' history that I've watched in fact.

I couldn't help flinching when the flap came off the NES

I'm outraged by all the unsealing of retro treasures. They should have already been unsealed! Awesome work dude. Such a mammoth undertaking.

Finally,a new complete history video

I've got an autographed copy of Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. Signed by Koji Igarashi

The game design on the OG Castlevania is so tight. It’s a joy to play.

A new Complete History And its on Castlevania It's almost an hour long And its only part 1. Dang, Slope really be bringing us Christmas presents in January, huh?

But you haven't looked into Castlevania: The Cereal RPG where every bite gets you closer to Dracula's room.

Another amazing video. Never played the games (please don't hit my face!) But your videos are so entertaining and interesting I am gripped everytime! I have watched many Complete History vids numerous times. Did you know that Simon Belmont was a character in the great "Captain N: The Game Master" Saturday morning cartoon? He was the arrogant comic relief character who, if I remember right, had a chin that put Bananaman's to shame!

Slopes I just want you to know, I discovered you in lockdown and I think you're amazing. I've run a retro game shop for 30 years, you seem to have the same love as myself for games, your passion and enthusiasm glows in your videos.. I want to take this opportunity to thank you so much... Please, please keep up the amazing work...

Rondo could have single handedly changed the history of the Turbo Grafx in the states

It was fantastic to meet you today, Thanks for coming into our store :D

I hate the whip's perfection in Super Castlevania 4 never stayed as a permanent edition of the series

first off thanks for the fb message! this was definitely worth the wait to watch... defintely been a longtime fan of the series as far back as the nes original! most of the original games i didn't even get around to finishing until that classic collection konami put out recently! definitely the best way to play those (since they include the vastly superior Japanese versions) also yeah shout-out to dracula x: rondo's god-tier soundtrack (and i had heard johnny 'turbo' brandstetter talk on twitter about trying to get rondo localized to no avail, heard he was really fighting for that one! shame it never arrived but at least konami wised up after the fact and re-released it at least three times after the fact.) this was defintely the biggest and best complete history you've done and I can't wait for part 2!

Brilliant video mate, as expected! Given the dearth of Castlevania games coming out these days, it's bittersweet to remember how prolific the franchise was in the past. Looking forward to the next part!

I'm 1000% in the Bloodlines > Super IV group. That said, that rotating Mode 7 room is really cool.

Just came across your channel, and I have to tell you, you’re awesome. Thank you for making these vids!

Opening everything felt like sacrilege.

oh Konami, you were once so great.

10:41 Yeah, break that damn front loader NES! 😂😂😂👀 Excellent video!

You have done it again! Absolutely stunning and so detailed. I enjoyed every moment thank you. I loved the bit where you LCD yourself! Best wishes.

Just wanted to say this is a new high point for the channel, this video was fantastic and cant wait for more content. Well done.

"You're a dude with a whip that has to get to the end of the game." Classic Castlevania: Oh sweet child, you have no idea what you've stepped into.

Excellent video my first title was Simons Quest, which I played at a friend's house. My favorite is Super Castlevania 4, part of the the fun is how OP Simon is in that game. That multi direction whip makes the game easy but a blast to play. SOTN, ROB, and Bloodlines follow closely behind.

When your friend gets mentioned as lending part of his game collection to these guys haha.

I love the random breaking of the door on the Nintendo at 10:40

Dude. This is such a great video. Quality work!

Don't forget that Rondo of Blood was also released on Wii Virtual Console a year after the PSP release. It was a day 1 purchase for me and immediately became my favorite Castlevania title. Still is today.

This is awesome, and this collection is mindblowing, great video!

👏👏👏👏👏👏 Congrats Dan. This is one hell (no pun intended) of a part one! Great work..

Really excellent video Dj Slope. Great work.

For what it's worth, Dracula XX/Vampire's Kiss works incredibly well as a complementary experience to Rondo of Blood. If you play it right after mastering Rondo, it feels sort of like a challenge-based DLC or fan game/hack. Personally, I would love to see it remastered, with a playable Maria and maybe a couple more level branches.

Nice content! By the way, this video looks very demanding to create. Research, writing, video capture, audio and video edition, and so on. Man, you really deserve more followers.

Headphones as soon as you said I put em on! Good call!! Great videos!!

It's nice to see someone enjoying the retro games instead of driving up prices (and I'm not mentioning MetalJesusRocks there, did you see? I didn't mention him AT ALL) I know I joke around a bit but this video must have taken a lot of effort and it's appreciated.

I've been waiting my entire life for this moment.

50:09 Me, I'm one of those people. It's my personal favorite classic style Castlevania and I consider it a must play not only for action game and Castlevania fans but anyone who owns a Megadrive/Genesis; it's just that good.

Thank you for this. Been looking forward to watching this vid for so long now!

Glad you did this, I’ve been missing castlevania like crazy recently too. I hope it goes back to what it used to and a new game that is reminiscent of that comes out soon. 😔😞

I can't be the only one wincing watching all this collector value go up in smoke. Hope whoever this collection belonged to was compensated. Bar that enjoyable vid but I still can't believe you did all that jesus.

I still have my Tiger Electronics Simon's Quest handheld lol good times

You absolutely killed it with this one!

God damn you! I shall watch and like. I'm already subscribed, so you get 2 out of 3.

Sounds like "the complete history of" has just entered it's Konami arc

Thank you for sharing the beat I made on your video ! Much appreciated 🙏 38:33

PatmanQ might prove to be difficult to top his history of Castlevania but I’m still interested to see your take

Castlevania symphony of the night is one of the best games ever period the music in that game alone. Shame the PS4 edition is the psp version and it's been redone for talking but least the music is still the same

Damn Slope, I'd say you sound just like Ashens there in the intro... :P

Why did they BREAK THE BLOODY PLASTICS!! I cried every time in my soul when I saw them taking off the sealed plastic...

Never knew why they dont always stick with the R button(or just a separate button) for the item usage instead of up+whip.

Just came across your channel... Always late to the party... Amazing stuff, my friend! Nothing shy of articulate, thorough, and incredibly entertaining! I'm sub'd!

You, Sir, are a king of content! Love your videos.

1:50 Dracula looks like he wants you to bring him closer to God x'D

This has got to be one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I also liked actually seeing you ... not just the Avatar.... Hello You!

Ah, my all time favorite game series! While I already pretty much know just about everything about the series, I did not know about some of those obscure Amiga and DOS versions of the original Castlevania. I definitely want to look into those now even if they aren't good. Also, that collection of Castlevania games is so beautiful and makes me jealous lol. Looking forward to part 2, great job on part 1!

Excellent production on this one, very well done.

Super Castlevania 4 was golden for its time. Great vid.

Great documentary Slopes! Castlevania is a fantastic franchise I've just recently gotten into some. Will be interested to see what all you cover in Part 2.

First time visitor to your channel. Had to subscribe. I love me my retro gaming

Nuttin like gearing up for Halloween with some classic Castlevania..

My favorite is simons quest. Love the gameplay and music.

The production is absolutely incredible. If I could subscribe again I would. I hope KZfaq gives this the exposure it deserves.

Where was I when this video dropped?! I am a subscriber and have been for years. This is perhaps your greatest video to date. Thank you for making this episode. Have you downloaded (I'm pissed I can't get it physical) the Castlevania Advance Collection yet? These are some of the very few Castlevania games I missed as I'm a console guy. At any rate, I love it so much I purchased it for my Series X and Switch. That way I can play at home in native 4K where the colors pop like fireworks and while I'm on the go like at work. I get at least an hour and a half paid downtime where I'm not only allowed to game it's encouraged with pay! ;)

Mom: We have Castlevania at home Castlevania At Home: 18:23

No need for headphones, I have the music committed to memory :)

Of all the games and all the consoles my brother and I have had, Super Castlevania is still my favorite. I'm 44 years old now and I can still remember playing that game on cold autumn or winter days and really just getting pulled into the musical score and gothic game design. Absolutely terrific soundtrack! Still waiting for a proper successor and I hear tell that Sony wants to lease or buy Konami's biggest properties? If so, I think that could be a winner.

A Castlevania documentary on KZfaq? I guess I'm interested in this.

What an amazing video! You put some amazing content out but this was exceptional. That it covered a series I love was great. Thank you.

No matter how large and big the castle was, it still lacks the comfort room every human character needs to go to

I watched this while under the influence, worth it.

i love this series very well done

Bloody brilliant!

Ahh, my gawd. I stream castlevania games because they are the best. I'm stoked for part two

As if you stopped there. Right before symphony. Actually shouted " NO" lol. Perfect cliffhanger . Awesome vid. I'd sub again if i could.

Epic video! Random add-on: the name of the character 'Alucard' is Dracula backwards

For such a deep dive into beloved territory, you sir need to be recognised 😎 many, many thanks 👌 ** especially with the inserted original commercials, really appreciate your eye for things like that - makes a good video a great doc, cheers 🍻

I don't want to live in a world where Castlevania IV is 29 years old.

It's been a longtime. Rondo Of Blood is the hardest out of all the games in my opinion.

The first thing you highlighted about Castlevania is the music! Undeniably one of the best things about Castlevania are it’s incredible soundtracks! No one can attest to this better than the Smash Bros. Ultimate sound team saying how much fun they had remixing Castlevania music. You can tell on what they did with it they had such passion for thr soundtracks as do I!

FINALLY A CASTLEVANIA VID! thank you :3

Great video. Really appreciate these complete histories

Love these "Complete History" vids, keep 'em coming!
