PC Engine Super CD-ROM - Dracula X: Rondo of Blood

This is the intro to the long-lost "holy grail" of the Castlevania series, Rondo of Blood (Chi no Rondo), for the PC Engine Super-CDROM2 system. It basically came out on the tail end of the Turbo's life here in the US, and no one figured it was worth the effort to localize a game for a system that was on the verge of being taken off of life support. A shame, indeed, as this is arguably the finest of the "classic" Castlevania games.
The intro is in German, with Japanese subtitles... oddly enough. I may put up more from this game soon. Capturing gameplay has become a bit difficult, though, since Fraps is being difficult. :P

After 100 Years, the Evil has rised once again. he could turn into a bat, into a Wolf and into a fog. He loves the Night. He drinks the Blood of Young Woman. And lives Forever. The king of Castlevania. The Lord of Evil. Count Dracula has rised.

i hope thats a good subtitle.

in the good old time, lived the humanity quiet and in peace. Nobody believed, that in the Future a threat would come. On the Shadowside of Peace the grow up was and always will be Evil. Humanity has began to refuse the grow up, and called the peace the Generation.

We all have come together, to call the Force of Darkness with our cursed Blood. We want them to rule the World, we wait with a Smile the downfall of this World.

Translation 2:

After one hundred years, evil is made flesh again. An immortal creature of the night, it can take the shape of a wolf, a bat, and fog. Feasting on the blood of young humans, Dracula, lord of darkness, master of the Devil's castle, walks among us.

[TheNewEmphinix]

Translation 1:

A long time ago, people lived in peace and harmony. No one noticed the looming shadow among them. The darkness had clouded their senses, and evil ate their souls. Driven by madness they made a pact, with the devil. In the late hour they gathered, to call forth the forces of darkness, with their sinful blood, in their minds expecting the dawn of a new world in chaos.
