cyberbully Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Damn, now I really need to find somewhere to play Pocky and Rocky.
Chapinator_X Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Artbooks are pretty awesome. Got one for Breath of the Wild recently and it shows how much effort they put into realizing the details of the game. At some point I need to get ones for Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and FF.

I've always meant to just find something to stare at the backgrounds of darkstalkers...So much shit going on that you can't pay attention to because of the fight.
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) What's with these titles / captions / whatever... Smooched by a vampire? Destroyers of rice balls? I never actually beat Castlevania, but I doubt the ending involved Simon Belmont and Dracula making out. Oh wait this is SNES, and I did beat Castlevania IV... I definitely don't remember Simon and Dracula making out. Edited May 21, 2020 by Doom Metal Alchemist

All I remeber is the weekend I rented it, I spent the night at a friend's house and barely got to play it.....Tried again a few years back on an emulator but it crashed every time you opened options so I just play SotN Edited May 21, 2020 by cyberbully 1

At best it was released on the Super Famicom (which I guess is close enough for this book). I know it was released on PC Engine though (Japanese version of Turbo Graphix 16). Oh wait, am I thinking of Rondo of Blood? Or is that the same game? Bah, confusing shit. Edited May 21, 2020 by Doom Metal Alchemist

cyberbully Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I looked it up since in that book it says "Vampire's Kiss"....Which I'd never heard of. Apparently they are all the same game....For some silly reason https://www.konami.com/games/castlevania/eu/en/page/history_1995_sfc

No youtube vids I've seen on Castlevania history (which admittedly, aren't many) mentioned anything called Vampire's Kiss. I wonder if it was only released to the European market or something.

Honestly I didn't think that the final boss in DX was all that difficult. Just let Dracula come to you and then chuck axes at him.

A long ass time ago GamePro ran an article that Final Fantasy III was coming to America on SNES soon (I can't remember the time frame the magazine gave). Long story short the article they wrote was about what is now known as Final Fantasy V and boy howdy (to steal a line from sponges) did it take a long ass time to get that to America, and also took a lot longer (but not as long) to get what finally came to be called Final Fantasy III here (FFVI, of course).

Also you gotta remember it was 1995 and this game was sandwiched in between Chrono Trigger and Yoshi's Island along with other heavy hitters like Killer Instict, Donkey Kong Country 2, Mega Man X2, NHL '96, Mortal Kombat 3 and plus throw in the arrival of the PlayStation and you can see why this game got lost in the shuffle.

I get why no one knew about it back then, but youtubers talking about Rondo of Blood on PC Engine don't know about it?????

cyberbully Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 I've only watched 10 minutes of this and they are hardly the same game...
cyberbully Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Starting to think I may have actually beaten Dracula X....That skull that possesses the girl is very familiar, but it also could have been an extra boss in one of the many, many DS castlevania games I played.

The problem with Dracula X is a lot content was cut from the original game so it just comes another action platmormer game. I'm not saying that it's not a bad game mean I still would rather play this game over the original NES trilogy mostly because it has better controls but still if you played Rondo of Blood then play Dracula X you might be a little disappointed.
