In a barcade projecting a Castlevania III playthrough on the wall and it\u2019s really impressive how advanced these graphics are for NES, it\u2019s close to early Genesis really - some detailed backgrounds, complicated palettes, a \u201cscreen shake\u201d where all the terrain seemed to vibrate while sprites held steady, a floating multi-segment bone snake moving in circles (which was a classic arcade \u201csee what we can do\u201d of the period)

\n

Too bad the NES couldn\u2019t handle the VRC6 coprocessor chip like the Famicom could, so non-Japanese players could hear the true soundtrack in all its glory.\u00a0 (And later Konami would make a VRC7 chip with FM channels that sounded like early Genesis\u2026)

well golly
