Castlevania: Dracula X No-Death Playthrough (Actual SNES Capture)
This is a capture of me playing through Castlevania: Dracula X for the SNES. This is not an emulator and was not played on the Wii U Virtual Console. This footage was recorded directly from my Super Nintendo using an actual Dracula X cartridge.
I've been wanting to post 60 fps footage of this game, not to mention my other Castlevania games, so here it is. This is once again a no-death run, keeping in tradition with my prior Castlevania playthroughs.
I first saw Dracula X in a Nintendo Power feature back in 1995. The magazine published some pictures of the game, including the Minotaur boss fight, and I thought it looked awesome. However, I never managed to play the game during the SNES era.
Around 2001, shortly after I acquired Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, I picked up a complete, near-mint copy of this game off eBay for about $40. I thought that was expensive at the time, but now the price is just ridiculous. Luckily though, the game is now available on the Wii U Virtual Console.
When I played the game for the first time I found that it had a ridiculously cheap design, such as an overabundance of medusa heads and bats. However, it had excellent music (comparable to Super Castlevania IV, without a doubt) and decent graphics and controls. So I beat the game countless times despite its flaws (the alternate paths certainly gave additional replayability).
This is often referred to as a hard game, and I do agree with that claim, but once you memorize the patterns, it's actually quite manageable. You just have to make sure not to get impatient.
In this playthrough I obtained the best ending by freeing Maria and Annette in the hidden stages.
Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official SNES S-video cable at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the SNES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.
I'm using an Asciipad turbo controller.
