Now with the Ultimate edition, which uses the Saturn 4mb RAM cart, transparencies have been restored & performance improved. Also it is fully translated! The map is fixed and can be accessed outside of the inventory. Also in teleport rooms they added writing above the portal to say where they are! It's absolutely amazing.

The delay in bringing up the Map makes the Saturn version a tough pick. My God the map is very important for exploring and it feels like it takes forever to toggle back & forth. The PlayStation has the map on screen all the time. To hell with this version. Stupid mistake!

I like the fact that we are getting a symphony of the night overview by a guy that kind of sounds like Dracula or Igor from Frankenstein

Im playing the game fort the First time, i choose the saturn version but i play with the Dracula X ultimate Version with my pseudo kai . So i have the best version of all, this version use the 4mb of the card to add a lot of effect that saturn version dont have, a quick acces to the map, The english patch, less drop framerate, shortless loading etc...
Im one the inverted Castle This game is amazing

Rondo of Blood Richter was like the only thing good to come out of that anime style.

Saturn is the best experience to play this game.

Nice and informative video, Lucian.
I enjoyed that rather than reviewing this timeless classic, you highlighted elements of it that fans may have missed, had they not had the opportunity to pick up/play the Saturn version.
Great job!

The new areas are obviously shoe horned in. They feel cramped and tiled together like metroid maps. The new bad guys are typical. The familiars are just the missing ones from the japan ps1, which are accessible in all versions via game shark. Maria is pretty broken, she is more fun to play on the PsP release. The running shoes are neat.

Great video Lucian! I was looking for an explanation of the differences in the Saturn version, and this was perfect 👌🏼 Thanks for uploading 😃👍🏻

Why cant the hackers just make an extended version of the PS1 original by adding new monsters and levels..

[opaljk]

I don’t think the Saturn was technically inferior, just different. It absolutely could’ve done this game way better than it did. We’re so lucky to have the people like Meduza hacking it to bring it closer to the kind of quality they have for the for the ps1. It’s not perfect, but it’s way way way better as it stands in the hacks current state. All those transparencies being restore is nice, and the load times and direct map access is so fucking helpful and fun.

Great video Lucian!
It's strange, I wouldn't say I was a massive fan of the Castlevania series but I really enjoyed 4 on the SNES and have played a bit of the NES games but strangely I've never played anything after 4. But after seeing this video I'm keen to try this one and perhaps expand my Castlevania experience with some of the later stuff too.
I think it's cool that they at least tried to compensate for the technical issues by adding extra stuff. A lot of other game developers are happy enough just to make a poor port and leave it at that.

Good video. Never knew the Underground Garden was in the PSOne ram.

How come I never heard about Richiter alternate costume in all this years?
