Topic: Where's Dracula XX ??

[Profbeanburrito]

Seriously, why the heck isn't Dracula XX for the SNES on DXC?? Now, I know it's no Rondo of Blood but it's still awesome.
They have that lame Akumajou Dracula Peke game on it, which last like a minute, but no XX?!

I guess it just disappoints me

I know.  Weird, huh?
PEKE is like... "Hi, bye!"

Indeed. It gets a bad rep, but I like to play through it when I want a challenge. It was pretty original in its layout; except for the first level, it opted to take a different approach for its areas, like having Richter cross a lake to reach the entrance, or the Atlantis area.

Then again, some people are finding the Rondo remake to be insane in its difficulty...I always found it to be the easiest of the older Castlevanias. So DXX probably would've killed them.

In my opinion, the 3DRondo is easier than the 2D one, 'cept for some spots.  The fact that Richter can jump forward but then backflip lets me avoid a number of obstacles.

XX never really appealed to me to much...maybe I try it again if it ever gets VC'd...I stopped my emulation ways about a couple of months ago...

Dracula X for Super NES is boring. I was disappointed with it even before I knew about Rondo of Blood.

Dracula XX holds a dear place in my heart. I first played it back in 95', it was the first CV game I had played up to that point other than CV4. The music in XX was made to somehow sound a little better than the original Rondo. I liked everything in that game, except for Maria's different sprite. I mean, they can keep every sprite the same, look the same, animate the same and all, but couldn't include the original Maria sprite? What the hell? the XX Maria is so gimped looking, it makes me want to cry. Though, that's the only negative I have for this game. Its insane difficulty only adds to the fun for me.

I think the sprites actually matched the Artwork in that game, unlike other games where the sprite looks nothing like the art (SotN Richter).

The saturn version had a alternate costume for richter that matched his artwork.

Tried to. It was still very unaccurate and sloppy.

Dracula XX or Dracula X as it's known in the states is a terrible game, it felt really thrown together and the ending didn't make any sense the first time I played it, we see all these close ups and stuff and no writing or talking to let us know what's going on. That Dracula fight was cheap and retarded, you get hit at all you fall in a pit and die, there's no skill involved it's all luck, especially on dracs final form I can dodge every attack but if he corners you or fires one off as your jumping it's instant death.The Werewolf fight was stupid too, an ordinary werewolf shouldn't take 20 hits to kill it and possess attacks that can slaughter you in 4. I think Koji looks at the Duo one as the "true" X and probably doesn't even bother ancknowledging the SNES travesty.

Totally disagree with you there. The Super NES title was solid. Doesn't hold up to Super Castlevania IV, of course, but to say it was a bad game is blasphemy.

[The Last Belmont]

^ I've just never really liked it it feels unfinished as well as what I already stated. And if Koji was to include it he'd have to come up with a way to revive dracula again and have annette and maria captured as well.

For those of us that never got to experience the real Rondo XX was our chance. I personally loved the game.

It was definitely a bit old school with its limitations but a bit knew school with Richters backflip.

I loved the new sprites and the fight against Drac was amazing. His laugh as he teleported around the room was the best ever. Death was awesome too.

A great game and I miss seeing the ending, I think it was among Castlevania's most unique.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

It still should've been in DXC instead of that shitty-ass PEKE game.  I mean, what a waste of an unlockable that was.

LOL THIS IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE WHEN YOU DID NOT HAVE SYSTEM CARD LOL
