Awesome review. I have never played Rondo of Blood before because as you pointed out, it was never released in the US. But judging by what you've described, it's awesome. I have played Castlevania 4 and Dracula X for the SNES. They're both classics. Dracula X could have been a little better, but it's still a pretty fun game.
"gnyah nyah nyuhh" Also: Symphony of the night, Aria of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, the PS2 Castlevanias, all use an anime art style. The only ones that don't use an anime art style are Castlevania 1-4, the N64 ones and Order of Ecclesia
This review was decent, but might I offer a few suggestions? Try to include practical/concrete examples why something works in the games or doesn't. It sounds like your opinions haven't really been tested from multiple view points.
Your opinion on the Soundtrack for Super Castlevania 4 is Way Off. Every track perfectly suits that specific level.(Ex. Level 4/Clockwork Mansion) & The best version of Bloody Tears to Date! This Game blows away it's follow-up Drac X w/ Stage Design, Boss battles, & Music. I'm surprised SOTN fed off of Drac X as much as it did. SC4 is also very challenging, it's another perfect example of how it gets increasingly harder as you progress.(Ex. Stage 1-4 Not too bad,Yet Stage 8 & on are very tough
no i am talking to u,because wat he meant wen he said the holy grail is rondo of blood is tht rondo of blood is extremely rare so it is the holy grail.
I say its symphony of the night since it was the first game where it was no linear like Metroid and you would explore the entire castle of dracula. Plus you play as Alucard which is freaking awesome
unlike DMC it just put me to sleep, because the level designs look the same, the combat is repetitive because you do the same exact moves, the enemy A.I is stupid, i was expecting the enemies to be very aggressive like in Ninja Gaiden. i respect your opinion thoughm but Curse is up there with one of the worst games i ever played
You are right though, Curse does feel repetitive. They tried to replicate the 2d feel of the 'current games' on the DS, which are a ripoff Super Metroid!!! Thats why Super Castlevania 4 on the SNES was the LAST true Castlevania. Some games need to stay 2d.
there's only two problems I had with the first castlvania game 1. the damn madusa heads and 2. you can't control your jump and I end up dying but I still like the game
have you tried coolrom?or rom hustler?you can also look for vamipres kiss!its the same as rondo of blood...or you can mabey get a torrent...i dont know if you can get it from a torrent or not...
If you have a PSP and a copy of Castlevania: the Dracula X Chronicles, you can unlock the original version of Rondo of Blood, as well as a version of Castlevania: SOTN that has an extra boss battle against Maria Renard.
Personally, I love Castlevania IV's soundtrack. I found it to be one of the most impressive game soundtracks until SotN came out and I discovered that fact a few years later (Symphony of OMFG I Totally Spaced). I haven't gotten to play all of Castlevania's lineup. Bloodlines had a great soundtrack and Dracula X did as well. But SotN was the best, followed by Super Castlevania IV. Richter is probably the greatest Castlevania legend next to the legend himself, Simon Belmont. Emulation rocks!
I know that....Im just saying why say something feels Authentic when you don't even have the real thing yourself.You can't prefer something you don't have.
Im pretty sure he has the equipment to record a super nintendo.Armake does it.and plus Super Nintendos have slots so u can use ur capture card with.and im just saying why say something is authentic when you don't have the real thing.I can see if he didint have the game.but in his other video he said he owns all castlevania's its the one about Castlevania adventures go watch it and you'll see.
If he didint have a Capture card how did he do review of Dragon's Lair? He made that before this and he wasen't using an emulator.Anyway you don't get what im talking about so I don't have to argue with you anymore peace!
Well obviously you have no idea what your talking about.Everything u said from this point had nothing to do what i said.Maybe you should do your homework right before you come unprepaired
if u dnt have and wanna play rondo of blood thrs a link on my page were u cn download it and install it straight to ur computer without emulator its a sweet game
I recentley bought Castlevania Vampire Kiss for the SNES which is the australian Uncut version of Dracula X, for $20, It's supposedly better than the U.S version but still not as good as Rondo of Blood and i can't really see anything different in the game.
good question I don't know. but from what wikipedia and many other sources say there are some extra features in it but for me i can't see any difference.
us and uk version suck in comparison with the Japanese version, besides the us amd uk version was censored and Japanese version was uncensored. Such as the blood was removed in the us and uk version and the Japanese version had all the blood left in. Nintendo screw up on that part, but none the less, the us and uk version still are good.
you know its funny, the Turbografx was marketed poorly in the US. People were too engrossed in the SNES and Genesis. Your right, the TGF is an underrated system, and had it sold well, its peripherals might have made it to the US including its games. So, its partially, marketings fault that it didnt sold well and we didnt get Rondo of Blood.
Dude a word of advice. Take the nose plugs off while doing your review or fix your deviated septum. With that said it's good to see someone do a review of Castlevania(s).
It's likely to happen (especially Bloodlines) but probably not until Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse comes out. If Bloodlines (and Contra Hard Corps) is going to come to the VC this year, it won't be until later.
lol your japanese translation BTW you didnt mentioned that dracula x and the american version of sc4 are censored and that fucked up those games in america
Rondo of blood's first level is my favorite level out of any vania.
