Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (Game Boy Color) - NintendoComplete
630A playthrough of Konami's colorized remake of the 1991 action-platform game, Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. It was released as part of the Konami GB Collection Vol. 4 compilation cart for the Game Boy Color in 2000.
With its upcoming rerelease in Konami's Castlevania Anniversary Collection, I thought that it would be cool to show off this little-known updated version of the second Castlevania Game Boy game. Just as with the color version of Castlevania: The Adventure, this one never came out in America, so the video was recorded from the European release.
Belmont's Revenge was a good improvement over Castlevania: The Adventure, with some cool additions like a Mega Man-style stage select and the use of sub-weapons, the graphics look much better this time, and the soundtrack is as kick ass as you probably hoped it would it would be. It retains the slow pace of the first game, but the challenge - though still at times maddening - feels much more even this time around, and there's a lot more content here compared to the original game.
The color job on Belmont's Revenge looks great, and like most of the other games in Konami's GB Collection series, the upgrade from monochrome makes for a dramatic improvement in both its looks and its playability.
Like Castlevania: The Adventure, I highly doubt that the color version of Belmont's Revenge will be used for the Anniversary Collection, but you're getting a quality game either way.
