My Top 75 Castlevania Songs (#25-#1)

Описание к видео My Top 75 Castlevania Songs (#25-#1)

Last section of my Castlevania list is finally here featuring songs from #25 to #1.

This is a list of my favorite Castlevania songs. Why top 75? At first I thought of doing just a top 10 but there were way too many songs that I wanted to include. Soon it was already a top 50 list. Eventually it got from 60 to 70 and finally to 75 songs. This could have easily been a top 100 but I wanted to draw a line somewhere earlier since it had already been quite a big work. I listened through over 1100 songs (that included game over and stage clear jingles plus tons of vampire killer and bloody tears arrangements/remixes so the real number of considerable songs is not that big). After first listening round I cut the number of songs down to about 230 from which I then chose my ultimate favorites after couple more listens. I didn't choose hastily, the order of the songs was formed over months of listening.

So I decided to split this one into 3 videos since it's really long list. I'll let every song loop about once (30 seconds or 3 minutes long song, no matter) and that's one reason why this became so long. Castlevania series has without a doubt some of the best videogame music ever so I hope you have time to watch the whole thing.

Remember, the order of songs is completely based on personal opinion. If your favorite is somewhere in lower positions it doesn't mean that I don't like it. I even had to leave some really good songs out of top 75. I decided to always use the original version of the song. Also no songs that have been originally from other game like Go! Getsu Fuhma, Ryu Kokki or In Search Of The Secret Spell (this one would've been actually pretty high if it wasn't originally from other game).

The pictures were put together using GIMP. I got better using it over time so some of the first images are simpler and probably more boring than the later ones. Here's a list of sites where I got almost all of the pictures used in video:

www.vgmuseum.com (this one has almost everything)
www.castlevaniacrypt.com (with vgmuseum the best, complete package)
www.castlevaniadungeon.net (some very nice pictures + info)
www.chapelofresonance.com (maybe the best for some games (stages part especially), but doesn't have all of them covered)
castlevania.wikia.com (some useful stuff that I couldn't find from other sites)
www.giantbomb.com (some pictures)
thedailypos.org (imagefest for Aria of Sorrow)
spriters-resource.com (for sprites if castlevaniacrypt doesn't have spritesheets)
Also, sites worth mentioning:
www.linnavaanijat.com (very nice finnish castlevania site, has some good info and is also available in english)
www.inverteddungeon.com (really good site dedicated to castlevania)

Everything is owned by Konami.
