VG Soundtrack of the Day 030: Super Castlevania IV


The SNES brought a lot to the table for Konami's vampire slaying action/platform series. Slight influence over Simon's jump. Multi directional whip attacks, which made dealing with certain enemies so much easier. And of course, dat soundtrack. Fan favorites such as Vampire Killer, Beginning, and Blood Tears have amazing 16-bit remixes. Then you've got the wealth of new music such as Simon's Theme, Demon Forest, Room of Close Associates, the list goes on and on. Super Castlevania IV is a challenging game but the frustration factor is greatly reduced compared to the NES titles, making it a excellent starting point for those looking to get into the Castlevania series. Video game music on vinyl has become more of a thing over the years and in 2017, Super Castlevania IV got this treatment. I don't do vinyl but there are some I would pick up for display purposes and this would certainly be one of them.
