Topic: Is Dracula x (Akumajo Dracula xx) (Snes) A sequel to RoB?

[X]

X: the music pausing after playing is a product of music being streamed from the disc, each time the song finishes it has to reload. Trust me Rondo isn't the only game to have this happen, I've seen it happen on PS1 and Saturn games as well.

That's not the pause I was talking about,lol. The pause I'm referring to is near the en of vampirekiller. The music plays normally then it pauses just as the song is about to hit the climax of the tune itself. Then it continues on. Here's the comparisons between the two;

Castlevania Dracula X OST: Stage 2 Vampire Killer

Castlevania Rondo of Blood Music - Vampire Killer (Stage 2b)

Thanks for pointing that out on the music. Back to the subject I know dracula x was the american version of Rondo but the japanese snes version (same thing as U.S. version but uncensored) is Akumajo dracula (xx) you would think that would mean part 2, but then Sotn would have to be porn making it (xxx)

They moved the pause to the beginning of the track and shortened it. That does work much better.

That is one way to interpret the XX, but you could also interpret it as an extension or an alternate version too.

Seeing you guys discussing this game made me remember of one of the things that boggled my mind when I played it. I mean, take a look at this:



There is something very wrong with this part of the game (last stage). Can any of you tell what is it?

You are climbing up the castle keep but the castle is in the background

Diddo. It's like they got lazy on the last stage.

That or there is a GINORMOUS mirror in front of the castle.

No really. The first time I saw it I was "Wait wat.. Wat...?".

As X masterfully put: Absolutelly lazy. But strangelly amusing.

Yeah. That was pretty stupid.

It strikes a nice picture, though

It does once you remove the foreground graphics and character sprites. Easily doable on an emulator.

It´s the same Castle that shows in the map, at the begining of every stage, correct?

Am I the only one that likes that part of the last stage? Lazy, yes, but impressive to me, in that day when I played...

The problem here is not even the graphics or disposition of the scene. I mean, look at that map screen. It's fuckin' GORGEOUS, moreso than Rondo IMO.

But what deals the killing blow is: Richter is inside the castle. How can the castle be in the background? It's a huge ass painting or something?

Yep, is kind of weird. The first time that I reach the last stage, I suposed that you are entering the castle from outside. I mean, you are in a journey to the castle from the begining, right? Then, at the last stage you see the whole castle before entering it... But, seeing the castle at the distance, and a seconds later being inside of it, and at the Castle Keep... oh man, I see the point ...

[Morning star]

Yes, i agree. I noticed this and it's.... Just bad! No way to cover it up really. It's clearly a mental mistake by somebody, lol. I'm sure somebody would argue that it's an illusion and the castle is trying to stop the main character from completing the game by drawing him away in another direction or some garbage like that. In the same way they try to piece together timelines between vintage games and modern ones

[machetespeghetti]

The map screen clearly shows the level takes place within the tower in the background but the one in the background show a caved in staircase leading to the keep. ?
