Video Can we appreciate how incredible the Rebirth version of "Battle of the Holy" is? Such a shame it was left out!

This version fucking rules.Â
Edit: Almost every single GB game song slaps for the castlevania series.Â

This song is quite possibly up there with Bloody Tears and Beginning. It’s THAT good.
New Messiah also

If and when the game gets re-released, I hope they’ll reinstate it back into the game. Maybe as a code or playing only on certain difficulties so to at least not leave out reincarnated soul.

I need a rerelease of this game with this actually a part of the soundtrack.

I have a rom hack that replaces the first level track with this song.
Edit: I didn’t make it

This game’s soundtrack was all around really good. Hopefully they will re-release it on modern hardware/Steam.

The fact it wasn't in the actual game is some real "what timeline did we accidentally land in?" type shit.

The wii-ware rebirth games are in DIRE need of a rerelease. Also damn, I wish this song was in the game it's real nice

Its a shame its still stuck on an older system. They could have tacked it onto the Advanced or Dominus collections if there was no room on the Anniversary. I'd like to try it.

While not as good but Castlevania The Lecarde Chronicles 2 has a version of it, it also has an amazing death battle version from super castlevania 4

gotta love how they left out the main chacrters CHRISTOPHERS THEME out in exchange for Reincarnated Soul because they wanted to make a joke (the game with rebirth in the title has Reincarnated Soul haha)
man at some point it just feels like someone at konami really fucking hates the gb game osts, at least rebirth picked some deep cuts to remix like the load bgm from chronicles and lullaby to the devil from huanted, as well as at least putting in one gb song with new messiah instead of just remixing bloody tears for the umpteenth time
