You forgot to mention the 3DS version.

I pretty sure NIS owns the rights to that version.

Here's something that might interest people who've played Castlevania : Symphony of the Night/Dracula X : Nocturne in the Moonlight

Dracula X : Rondo of Blood (finally in english and dubbed!)
For the PCEngine system/emulator

The most sought-after game in the entire Castlevania series, and the one we should’ve gotten in the first place (I hate you, Konami), Dracula X: Rondo of Blood had multiple secret stages, CD audio, awesome synth music, and animated cutscenes. And the game rocked too!

It’s Castlevania on steroids. You don’t have the multiple-direction whip from Castlevania IV, but in its place you have an item crash, which is a super attack which changes depending on your secondary weapon.

I’d write more, but I haven’t played much of it. But know that it rocks. And that the SNES version has nothing to do with this game. OK, so the SNES version is a retooling, but this is much better.

Um, I'm not sure, but you may wanna remove the link. We can talk about emulators, but not the ROMs themselves. Sorry if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that we can't post links to ROMs.

Isn't that a patch? those are fine. I cant check at the moment...

[X-Calibar]

It's pretty grey to me, the link was to a usually safe site, that linked to a site that apparently had images that were described as patches? But, I think in order to play the image you had to buy the PCengine emulator (an official emulator?) or own the hardware, (there might be alternatives though, dunno, haven't looked)

Anyway, link removed~

It was released in Japan on October 29, 1993. A direct sequel to it, the critically acclaimed Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, was released in 1997.

Castlevania: Dracula X, a game based on it but with a different art style, redesigned levels and altered gameplay, was released internationally for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System two years later. In 2007 and 2008, Rondo of Blood saw a first North American, European and Australian release and 2.5D remake as part of Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for PlayStation Portable. The original PC Engine version became available in Japan in 2008 on Wii's Virtual Console and as an imported title, in Australia, Europe and North America in March 2010.

Alright looks like if you have a Wii you can support or a PSP you can play without the PCEngine...?

This is reminding me of when I shouted Tactics Ogre was finally translated for SNES! Except... apparently there was a PSP version that's better/already released or something

I don't know if you guys remember this one, but GENECYST for SEGA.

Is that Megadrive (sorry, I'm an eurofag) emulator which its menu bar was bleeding?
