Rondo of Blood to PSP

Or Dracula X, if you prefer.

Please tell me those graphics aren't anime stylized. I can't stand anymore of this current-gen children anime pandering. What happened to the SotN oil painting artwork?

Nevertheless, it is Rondo of blood, and I'll probably play it, but I gotta say....the originals art design was better. The soundtrack could have also done without the whaling guitars and bad MIDI synth.

Guess this shoots the chances of the original on the VC for a couple of years huh.

Wow. Richter kind of walks like he has a stick up his ass, but nonetheless, pretty damn cool.

does it really matter? This is it everyone! Rondo of blood will finally hit north america.. This means we will get the original and the updated plus symphony of the night all on one disc.

I'm preordering this the moment the preoder thing starts.

I love the 2.5D remakes of all these games on PSP, but I hate Castlevania. Very definition of stiff gameplay.

Er. Take this from someone who owns the original Import PC Engine version of the game... The Game always had anime style graphics, including Anime cut scenes.

Meh, okay then. I'll just drop it since you know it better than me anyway . Anyway, I forgot to mention (and read, lolz) this sucker comes as a full remake of Rondo of Blood, the Castlevania we never got over here, but it also comes with the full original TG-16 CD version of Rondo of Blood, AND Symphony of the Night. If that isn't just a triple play, I don't know what is. We're getting the two best of the Castlevanias in one package.

Ka-Freaking-Ching.

He's right. He shouldn't have to prove himself over what is a pretty well known fact about the game, especially to you.

What's all the fuss about Castlevania, anyway?

I can understand the appeal of the storyline, and the main theme (fighting Dracula) is pretty cool...But I've disliked every Castlevania game I've played. Perhaps I just don't get it.

um it's getting repetitve now.

Every damn castelvania game has the same sprites take 2 or a few new ones.. portrait of ruin was good but not as awesome as Dawn of Sorrow. It was more fanbase game than appeal..

It just the story of battling dracula is getting old but still playing through a new castlevania is still fun.
