Dracula X or Rondo of Blood

[PAC MAN FEVER]

I like both and think that both are enjoyable to play.

A Castlevania poll!!!! Nice! I have never played Dracula X. I used to have Dracula X Chronicles on PSP, that's a wonderful game. Original Rondo was unlockable. I beat the remake, but not the original. I am currently playing Rondo on the Wii virtual console, a great game with a high difficulty level- playing as Maria makes it much easier.

I can't vote because I haven't played Dracula X, but Rondo on the Duo is a great game. Reason for owning the console, in my opinion.

They're the same game, are they not?

Apparently there are some differences. I haven't played X....

I'm confused by the poll. It needs to be more specific for obvious reasons...

[sheath]

I think of it as Rondo of Blood, Dracula X is what every Castlevania game was called in Japan wasn't it?

 

Oh, OH! We're talking about the SNES Dracula X verses the PCE CD Rondo of Blood. The SNES game is arguably prettier, but lacks all of the nostalgic scenery from previous Castlevania games. It also lacks the branching/secret paths, alternate bosses, and a playable Maria if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong about that last part and my second cup of coffee hasn't kicked in enough to brave the murky waters of gamefaqs just yet.

It must be too early in the morning for me. For some reason when I saw 'Dracula X' and a comparison to Rondo of Blood, my brain for some reason snapped over to the Saturn import instead of the SNES title.

 

As a result I voted poorly.

I'm going to be the odd one out, but I'm going to say Dracula X. It's different, more like Rondo of Blood Lite, but for some reason I like it better.

Because of the differences in Dracula X (snes) I fell as though that they are two different games.

And for those who don't notice the obvious.... The game's full name is, translated, "Dracula X: Rondo of Blood". What was released on SNES in english-speaking markets as "Dracula X" was originally named "Dracula XX" in Japan.

 

The poll needs to be worded a bit more clearly if you want answers from people who understand what you're trying to ask... it's hard to decipher.

Well yeah, they are. They also have two different names.

Rondo, every single day. Rondo may be the best 2-D side scrolling Castlevania apart from the original.

Rondo is the only reason I still own a PSP. Great game.

No xbox?

Even if the graphics and gameplay were half as good on the PCE, I'd still play it for the music. Gotta love early CD game music

Don't forget Chinatown Wars!

I assume this is Dracula X on SNES Vs. Rondo of Blood on Turbo CD?

 

Regardless, Rondo of Blood is a fantastic game. Dracula X is well..nerfed to say the least.
