⚠️ All gameplay recording, game curation and opinions included in each video, as well as editing is completely done by me

3 versions of the same game (EU/JP/USA), Castlevania: Bloodlines, Castlevania: The New Generation and Vampire Killer (バンパイアキラー) each one with its respective regional differences, with some aesthetic changes and cuts of violence and gore due to censorship. In this side-by-side comparison I want to let you know the differences between versions so that you can choose the one that best suits you as a player

In this video you will find:

• A side by side comparison of the changes between versions and omissions due to censorship.
• Curious facts about Castlevania Bloodlines and some secrets you may find interesting.
• Information related to each version such as release date, developer company, game genre and system it was released on.
• Official game box arts with a 3D presentation
• Educative and/or critical comments on the importance of every video game and why you should know it

Bits & Beats creates videos about the history of video games. In this channel you'll find comparisons, retrospectives, technical analysis, but, mostly, game curations with the idea of having an important task of preserving video games, and make them relevant to society at large.

Curation isn't just about digging up neat games, but it's also about preservation, interpretation, and using one's knowledge to make it relevant to people. With my videos I want older gamers to look back and remember the influence of video games on their lives, and new gamers to understand the larger context of the series they're playing for the first time today.

I put significant time and creative effort into each one of my videos, including research, digging into archives, playing video games and recording hours of footage, selecting specific clips, writing reviews for each title, and making a very careful video editing in the way to transmit both educational and entertaining values to my audience. Every video takes a lot of hours to produce, because I strive to give my audience a consistent, high-quality content.

Fidelity and preservation of the video games is essential in Bits & Beats, so the recordings are made with the highest bitrate quality. It is done this way to preserve original game look and sound through modern footage, with no superfluous additions. I recommend you watch the video at 4K and 60 frames per second to get the best possible viewing experience.

I hope you enjoy my videos and find them useful!
