Sunday Longplay - Arcade Archives: Vs. Castlevania (Switch) - Hard Mode

This week on Sunday Longplay, I'm exploring a different version of a classic. This is the arcade port of Castlevania, originally released on the NES and ported to arcades as part of Nintendo's Vs. series, now released on the Nintendo Switch as part of its Arcade Archives series!

This game is basically the same as the NES version, with a couple of key differences. The first being that the colors are more vibrant thanks to the Vs. Arcade hardware. The second and biggest difference involves the difficulty of the game. There are two difficulty settings: Easy and Hard, but don't let the "Easy" setting fool you. Even Easy mode is way harder than the NES version, which was pretty hard to begin with. On Easy mode, enemies START taking off 4 units of life, while the NES version waits until the end to hurt you that much. Then, just like the NES version, it escalates starting in Stage 7 when it goes up to 6 HP lost per hit. Hard mode ramps it up even further, having everything kill you in only 2 hits throughout the game! Naturally, because I'm a masochist, I opted for Hard Mode.
