That IS recycling the background...
Although I should've written "environment", not "theme".

Apparently next week's Nintendo Channel...show...thingy will have a quick cover on Castlevania Rebirth.

Just so, everyone is informed.

Title & Option
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3 (Part 1, Part 2)
Stage 4 (Part 1, Part 2)
Stage 5 (Part 1, Part 2)
Stage 6 & Credits

Music: Part 1, Part 2

Here's a little info about the game:

- Like the other ReBirth games Konami has released, this game has SNES and Mega Drive graphics style mix to it.

- The music feels like Mega Drive too, and the first stage track is Reincarnated Soul from Castlevania Bloodlines.

- You can use Wii Remote, Classic Controller, Nunchuk combo and Gamecube controller for this game.

- The Options lets you change the BGM and Sound Effect volume, and you can pick between Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty. You can also change how many lives you wanna begin with. You can pick between 1 to 9.

- You play as Christopher Belmont, who also starred in Castlevania: The Adventure and Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge.

- The controls are very simple and basic. You whip with 1 and jump with 2. You throw Sub Weapons by pressing Up+Attack, which is a tradition in most Castlevania games.

- You can only whip straight forward. You can't move the whip around freely like you could in Super Castlevania IV.

- When you jump, you can control the jump so that you can fall backwards too, if you want to avoid an enemy coming close in front of you.

- When you have picked up 2 whip upgrades, there will be a bar flashing right under your health. That's a timer that shows how long you can hold a whip that can shoot fire.

- Confirmed Sub Weapons so far are: Dagger, Axe, Holy Water, Cross Boomerang, Stop Watch.

- In each stage, you get to fight a mid-boss and a normal boss.

Vixy dear, have you gone to bed yet?

VixyNyan · **Reply #255 on:** October 27, 2009, 08:23:59 AM

What is a bed?! *throws glass* A miserable lack of game time!!

Protoman Blues · **Reply #256 on:** October 27, 2009, 08:27:58 AM

Haha, I didn't think so!

^Intense.

Will you be ripping any of the music?

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #258 on:** October 27, 2009, 09:53:12 AM

Oh ho, do I see alternative routes?

CephiYumi · **Reply #259 on:** October 27, 2009, 09:59:48 AM

add in that you can unlock "classic style" which as far as I can see only changes the jumping back to not being controllable
also, maybe I've never noticed this in the other games, but the wined up for using the whip can hit things behind you o.o

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #260 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:01:27 AM

the whip has hit priority like Dracula X for the SNES?

speaking of Castlevania, AVGN is doing a marathon of it as well, starting w/ 1

CephiYumi · **Reply #261 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:48:22 AM

<a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/video/angry-video-screwattack/57923">Part 2</a> is already up too ^^

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #262 on:** October 27, 2009, 10:52:15 AM

Ah yes~ man, I should give Castlevania 2 a shot one of these days~

Fxeni · **Reply #263 on:** October 27, 2009, 05:25:26 PM

I'm looking forward to the next AVGN vid, since it's going to be about Super Castlevania IV, which just so happens to be my favourite.

As for ReBirth... day one when it comes out here, no doubt about that.

Acid · **Reply #264 on:** October 27, 2009, 05:29:40 PM

Remember that the stream starts in 30 minutes.

Unless you wanna avoid spoilers.

Solar · **Reply #265 on:** October 27, 2009, 05:39:30 PM

Really? o_O

*opens tab with JTV*

Fxeni · **Reply #266 on:** October 27, 2009, 05:39:58 PM

I'm not sure if I want to watch. It would be awesome to see, no doubt, but on the other hand I want it to be fresh when I take a go at it.

Acid · **Reply #267 on:** October 27, 2009, 05:45:36 PM

We will give you a short and spoiler free review then.

Satoryu · **Reply #268 on:** October 27, 2009, 07:56:14 PM

God damn, this game looks amazing. Easy, but amazing. I saw 3, maybe 4 reused sprites, for those who care.

Only things I can kinda gripe about. They didn't use the first song from the original Castlevania the Adventure. That was a good song. The mix for the song in Stage 4 was unimpressive. Otherwise, the soundtrack is amazing.

Acid · **Reply #269 on:** October 27, 2009, 07:57:23 PM

Death's scythes look cooler with each game.

And Drac looked damn fine as well.

Blackhook · **Reply #270 on:** October 27, 2009, 08:04:16 PM

Damn...the newst Death is already on my top Death list

Align · **Reply #271 on:** October 27, 2009, 09:00:41 PM

What's with the blue/red lanterns? Sekrat alternate character unlock interactable?

Also, RIDDLE as final boss music? I approve.

VixyNyan · **Reply #272 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:12:17 PM

Blue lanterns means there's a new path. Red lanterns means you can't return to the last area. ^^

Dracula:
"As ever, the ally of worthless humans."
"Everything must burn!"
"Pitiful human! Your kind cannot defeat me now!"

I will add more in here. o.o

Acid · **Reply #273 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:52:08 PM

The Youtube vids have a MUCh better Quality than the Livestream.

And the videos already have more than 1200 views. What the hell?

Solar · **Reply #274 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:58:05 PM

They were the first videos of the game, so they were linked in many places.
