Rondo I'm quite comfortable with now, 1-life away from the 1CC over the weekend.
It's right there in the title. "Dracula X" is only used in the US version of the SNES game.Blinge wrote:Never heard rondo referred to as Drac X ??
I knew what you meant.Marc wrote:I think I might be confusing people.... I'm on SNES 'Vampire's Kiss' as it was over here. I thought it was Dracula X elsewhere?
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is called Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo in Japan, and Castlevania: Dracula X is called Akumajou Dracula XX. It's pointlessly confusing.Blinge wrote:Never heard rondo referred to as Drac X ??
The snes release was called "Castlevania Dracula X "
Googling dracula x just comes up with that.
Well I'll be fooked.Vanguard wrote:Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is called Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo in Japan, and Castlevania: Dracula X is called Akumajou Dracula XX. It's pointlessly confusing.
First of all, we're not in Murrica. You may be, but that doesn't mean everyone else is. I never even heard of that title for the SNES game until after I acquired the PC Engine one.Blinge wrote:er heard it.
I figure most of the gaming world just refers to the game as Rondo of Blood, for simplicity's sake.
Whereas the single X in "Castlevania Dracula X" in Murrica means it's quite reasonable to call the SNES game X.
Now I'm confused.Sumez wrote:
More specifically though, Marc talked about "stage 5' " and I didn't remember XX having one such stage.
Oh sure. We should all call Rondo Dracula X then as that's clearly the most logical thing to do.And so is Symphony of the Night. And so is the American version of Vampire's Kiss. And so is the PSP remake of Rondo.
Was the other way around.FinalBaton wrote:Lol @ Sumezu jumping Blinge
If I may present this to you.Blinge wrote: That's a pointless X if I've ever heard it.
Greek letter Chi? (I know that's not how it's pronounced, but Konami has made another Chi pun and that made me suspect it about Dracula X)Ronyn wrote:If I may present this to you.Blinge wrote: That's a pointless X if I've ever heard it.
The X in Rondo's full title marks a spot. It is read not as a letter, but as a roman numeral instead. Counting by release, it is the 10th game in the series in 1993.
Yes, the Arcade and Game Boy titles are included.
Oh no, I read that in an illiterate mag, some ways back.
How old are you?Blinge wrote:Never heard rondo referred to as Drac X ??
Some of us were calling it Drac X... when there was only ONE Dracula X. Before there was a Facebook or YouTube.It seems only shmupsfarm tier fanatics would refer to the Japanese title then abreviate it to dracula X?
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

I know that's how it goes in the business world, but this was still pretty dismal to read.Akamatsu’s sequels to Castlevania sold poorly, so he was demoted to working in one of Konami’s game centers, and then he quit. According to Akamatsu, Konami placed profits above all else, and developers who weren’t creating games that made lots of money were all eventually axed one-by-one.
I think it looks terrible as a Castlevania cartoon, but I like the Mad Magazine like artwork. At least there's Mad Monster Party for crazy monster hijinks with designs from a Mad artist (though it's stop motion animation). Double Dragon looks the most interesting out of those concept pictures. It looks better than the Double Dragon cartoon that eventually came out.BulletMagnet wrote:In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, if you thought Simon Belmont's appearance in Captain N was embarrassing, have a gander at what was once in the works.
