[andor]

PSP Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
PS Castlevania Chronicles
MOBILE Castlevania mobile (not order of shadows)

are these 3 the same Castlevania game for NES only redone in graphics?

If so any changes done on any other than graphics?

Dracula x Chronicles is remade from RoB, and Chronicles is the NES game, but with new stages, and I am unfamiliar with the mobile game.

The mobile castlevania is more less a port of nes with slightly enhanced but still nes looking graphics and downgraded music.

what does RoB mean sorry?!

Chronicles is NOT the NES game. It's a re-telling of Simon's story, but it's a port of the X68000 game from 1993 (or something).

And RoB means Rondo of Blood.

WEll i didn't mean its THE NES game, its a remake of the NES game with the same story but with updated music and graphics, with the addition of some new stages.

I guess you could call it a remake, though I have to admit I've never looked at it that way.

But it was made as a remake! It's part of the Chronicles mini-series, which are all remakes, the title even sayts so, right??

A remake of "Akumajo Dracula" for the X68000, yes.
Not a remake of the NES game. The games are not the same.

Grrrrr. I hate when I'm proven wrong.  Oh well. But wasn't the old one meant to be somewhat of a remake.

It depends on how you look at it.
Do you consider Super Castlevania 4 to be a remake of the NES original? What about Haunted Castle? If yes, then I guess you could call Chronicles a remake of the NES Castlevania. I feel that they're all re-telling the same story, but in the end they're original games, not remakes.

well, they seem to be half remakes, only because theyre the same story, but changed a little, unlike DXC which is excactly the same.

Ok, lets clear the confusion (hopefully)
CastleVania Chronicles is a re-release of Akumajou Dracula X68000, containing the original and an updated version, all performed through emulation.  Akumajou Dracula X68000 is, basically, a remake of the original CastleVania, not neccesarily a port with updated graphics,  but more-so of a retelling.  Basically, X68000, and vicariously Chronicles, is related to the NES CastleVania as Super CastleVania IV is.
