Since Konami didn't muck around with localizing PC Engine games, America saw this take on Dracula X instead. Caveat: Due to Nintendo's requirement that Virtual Console titles remain unadulterated from their original releases, this version contains Japanese text only. The downside? This version of Rondo will no longer be available for purchase after January 2019. It also works in Wii U's backward compatibility mode. For a measly 900 Wii points - that's nine bucks - you can own a great recreation of the game. The best price and best-quality reproduction of Rondo can be found on Wii, though. Finally, you can supposedly run this version on PlayStation TV by working around Sony's built-in restrictions.

The Dracula X Chronicles's physical UMD version works on PSP only, while the digital version also runs on Vita. The emulation on the unlockable isn't the best in the world, but for the price it's hard to complain. In addition to the new version, the original Rondo appears here as an unlockable item. PSP/Vita/PlayStation TV: The Dracula X ChroniclesĪ far more economic option exists in the form of The Dracula X Chronicles, a PSP remake of Rondo of Blood that adds 2.5D graphics, new secrets, new bosses, and new story events. If you want the premium classic experience, it'll cost ya. These days, the original import game disc will run you $150 on the low end, and the hardware that supports it sell for $300-500, easy. Since Konami never localized a single one of its PC Engine games for the west, it languished in Japan. Konami published it exclusively on the PC Engine CD-ROM^2, the Japanese equivalent of the Turbo CD. This version of the game took nearly 15 years to make its way to the U.S. We live in dark times, but it's not all bad when these classics are so easy to come by for a reasonable price. So, I've put together a list not only of the various ways you can play Symphony, but also its direct predecessor (predecessors?): Rondo of Blood and Dracula X.

After I posted yesterday's piece about some of my experiences and memories of the game, several people asked for recommendations on how to play it on current systems. Yep, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night debuted in America 20 years ago.

Our " " How Can I Play It ?" series lays out the best options for legitimately and legally playing the classic games we cover here at Retronauts, ideally on current platforms.
No way.Mission control for retronauts former EIC of 1UP.com and taking dapper (and frogs) back from the Nazis. I think the game's only real weakness is that while it technically does have branching paths, the alternate bosses are significantly less interesting than the standard ones, so the default path is always going to be the most fun.īloodlines is pretty much equal with Rondo of Blood - because of its faster pace and largely more dangerous, more random standard enemies, it's probably a little more fun to play for mastery than Rondo.ĬV4 is a solid game, and it has a great finale, but it absolutely can't compare with any of the previous games. The backflip is a brilliant addition, too. Rondo of Blood, of course, has amazing visuals and sound, and probably the best lineup of bosses in the series. It's also the game that feels most like CV1 (aside from CV3, of course) in how it carefully limits your moveset and forces you to approach every situation carefully. Once it gets going (a few of the early levels are a little rote, unfortunately) it's the most consistently intense game in the series, with tons of great stages and bosses. The X68K game is just about the best in the series (along with the first game). X68000 > Rondo of Blood = Bloodlines > IV My rankings would probably be something like: The X68000 game definitely shouldn't be left out of this debate, even though it's lesser known - it came out the same year as Rondo, after all.
