TAS originally published on 2017-03-30
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (originally known as 悪魔城伝説 or Akumajō Densetsu, meaning "Legend of the Demon Castle") is the story of Trevor Belmont's battle against Dracula from the times before Simon's battle in Castlevania. In this complex and difficult game, there are three playable allies whom Trevor can recruit: Alucard (Dracula's son), Grant DaNasty (a pirate captain), and Sypha Belnades (a mystic warlord).
This game has a technically high-quality soundtrack because it uses a VRC6 sound chip that works in the Japanese Famicom but not in the NES. Thus, the movie was made with the Japanese version of the game instead of the USA version.
This movie takes the path that recruits Alucard. It improves the predecessor movie ( tasvideos.org/764M ) by 00:27.50 seconds. There's also a Grant path ( tasvideos.org/1979M ) movie and a Sypha path ( tasvideos.org/3360M ) movie.

I can't help but feel a bit bitter that we never received this version of Castlevania III with the extra sound chips in the cartridge in North America. It sounds so much better!

@VonFirflirch 7 жыл бұрын

I wish we had the option to get that version from the e-shop. Not only does it sound better, it has a more tolerable difficulty

@fllthdcrb 5 жыл бұрын

It wouldn't have worked anyway, because of the lack of a sound input line on the NES' cartridge connector. If not for that, we probably would have gotten this sound.

This version was released on the famicom disk system(or fds for short) accessory for the famicom in japan

@@raiannedunlap5335 No, it was on a cartridge, which included Konami's VRC6 memory mapper/programmable sound generator with 3 additional channels (two pulse and one sawtooth), bringing the system total to 6 tone channels (instead of 3) plus noise (and the lesser-used DPCM channel). Disks don't have their own special hardware, and the FDS had an entirely different sound chip consisting only of wavetable synthesis. So, an FDS game basically sounds like a regular Famicom/NES cart with maybe some higher-quality samples than you could have otherwise. But none of the richer harmonies you hear in this video.

9:10 Trevor: "Errr, why do you want to beat your father btw? Dad issues, or planning to overthrow him?" Alucard: "He's disrespecting my mother's wish." Trevor: "Which is?" Alucard: " 'Do not hate humans. If you can't live with them, then at least do them no harm. For theirs' is already a hard lot'. That's what she said when you guys burned her at stake for witchcraft." Trevor: 😐

just the strange fact that it was NOT in the NES version. So the title is lying or is falsifying it. It is _ONLY_ on the FAMICOM version. Which has quite a few other differences! Im shocked TASvideosChannel would make such a mistake, thats why i say its shady practices.......

Ugh. The Alucard path had the worst levels in the game, possibly in all of the Castlevania series. They handed you this new character with a lot of tricks and potential of flying, then had all his levels take place in tight corridors and annoying fixed screen falling block areas. So much wasted potential.
