Topic: Peke on Virtual Console?

[VladCT]

Yeah, I got that idea from a ROM hack of US DXX that replaces Richter's sprites with Hanz's along with the fact that Maria's powerless in DXX for some reason.

Probably, the localizer abandoned translation.

Yeah, it's too bad. If they're gonna do the text in English, they should translate it, I say. :p

But here's something that's really weird:





The castle has been redrawn! :O It appears the clouds may have been too, but one thing's for certain, they scroll in the opposite direction.

The animated bat above the logo has also been removed.

I don't understand the reason for these changes.

I assume the Japanese Dracula X Chronicles has a straight port of the original title screen, or has that been changed also?

I was just thinking about the 32X game. Does there exist a beta or anything at all of it? D:

According to Mr.P's Castlevania Realm there were few screenshots of the game in some Japanese magazine. If it is true, than it means that this game was in some early playable form. How far Konami went in development is a big question, but apparently there certainly was some material, since this game was used as a basis for SOTN development or so I've heard.

Anyway, I believe CVBL could exsit in some unfinished form, but I doubt that it will fall into someone's hands. Though, I really hope that one day Bloodletting, Resurection and Bloodlines Beta will be obtained by beta collectors.

Changed also. DXC-Peke is not perfect port. DXC-Peke Richter can't moonwalk.

32X game

It was in the KCEK site a long time ago. Not Japanese magazine.

Hold the whip button, then move backwards/forwards.

[Abnormal Freak]

I think I remember doing that at one point. Dunno why I forgot all about it. :o

So how is "Peke" pronounced? I keep saying it like "peak" in my head, but that can't be right.

[thernz]

Pe ke as two separate syallables, and pronounce the e sound like eh or the e in cafe.

Peke

This Japanese TV show title is "PEKEPON".
