Castlevania (Actual N64 Capture) - Reinhardt Playthrough - Part 1
WatchmeplayNintendoThis is part 1 of my capture of me playing through Castlevania for the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Castlevania cartridge. I'm playing through the game on hard mode using Reinhardt. I'm completing the game on hard mode and showcasing Reinhardt's alternate costume, which is based on Simon Belmont's classic outfit. I only unlocked these features after I completed my prior playthrough, so that's why I'm just now showcasing them. I first tried Castlevania on the Nintendo 64 at Best Buy shortly after the game came out. Although it seemed interesting, I didn't give the game too much thought and instead focused on other games such as Ocarina of Time. However, because I started really getting into the Castlevania series around 2000, I decided to buy this game several months or perhaps a year after its release and give it a chance. I found that although the game starts off slow, it picks up speed and really becomes enjoyable about mid way through. The game has great atmosphere and some excellent boss fights. The Castle Center in particular is one of my favorite areas because of the music and the demon bull fight. That boss fight is just so memorable and awesome. The game definitely has flaws though. The controls are sluggish, the targeting system sucks, and the camera is horrendous. However, if you can get past those problems, it's a fun game. Luckily, the more complete version of this game (Legacy of Darkness) fixed a lot of these problems and included a bunch of new content. There's not much reason to play through this game instead of Legacy of Darkness, but there are some differences in the level designs, and small things like character costumes. Also, I purchased this game before Legacy, which meant that I ended up with both games. So I might as well upload the first title and show the differences from Legacy of Darkness. In this first part I started a new save file and completed the Forest of Silence area. Giant Skeleton boss fight - 4:40 & 20:20 Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the N64's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal. I'm using a Sharkpad Pro 64 turbo controller.29 views -

Castlevania (Actual N64 Capture) - Reinhardt Playthrough - Part 3
WatchmeplayNintendoThis is part 3 of my capture of me playing through Castlevania for the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Castlevania cartridge. I'm playing through the game on hard mode using Reinhardt. In this third part I completed the Villa area. For some reason, the last Cerberus glitched out and turned invisible on me. I've never seen that before. Also, one unique feature about this game is that you can easily dodge the stone dogs in the hedge maze just by jumping repeatedly, which I did here. That exploit was removed in Legacy of Darkness. Vampire boss fight - 23:47 Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the N64's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

WatchmeplayNintendoThis is part 1 of my capture of me playing through Castlevania for the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Castlevania cartridge. I'm playing through the game on hard mode using Carrie.
