DXC includes the original Rondo of Blood, but the remake actually has some improvements, namely a much better (actually finished) stage 5b, and a much better final encounter with Drac, not to mention new bosses and lots of customization options, multiplayer co-op and boss rush. It's a great remake only hated by tryhards who want to pose as purists when they never played Rondo back in the day anyway.

Rondo is great, so is IV. Australia-kun forever seething.

Not really that many cutscenes, and not all of them are desynched, but the most important ones are.
Everything is in english on PSP, even the extra "dracula X peke" mini-game/easter egg got a translated title.
On Wii, I don't remember about the menu right now, but I believe it was all in japanese.
BTW SOTN on PSP has some extras that aren't on PS1 western versions, namely 2 familiars that are more easter eggs than anything else but still worth mentioning. One of the new familiars, a fairy, sings a song if you let her rest in Alucard's shoulders as he sleeps. This song is both in english and japanese, depending on what language you choose.
These extra familiars are on the original JP version on PS1, but PSP SOTN still has one exclusive addition to it, well actually 2. The first one is playable Maria, which is different from the Saturn Maria. PSP Maria has her Rondo moveset, and they included a bunch of new sprites for her animal friends + dark Maria attack.
And the other new thing is a new ending theme, written by Michiru Yamane herself, exclusive for the PSP. In turn, the original vocal ending theme "I am the Wind" was removed, though.
Only complaint I have for PSP SOTN is that some of the backgrounds look weird, like you can notice a jailbar on the sky background in certain areas, and the whirling sky effect that happens the first time you meet Death, at the beginning of the game, is absent on PSP. I think SOTN also has a slightly wider resolution here than PS1 original, but I don't remember sprite shimmer.
Also, if you use "full" screen size, both Rondo and SOTN will look blurrier, obviously. I personally prefer to have the smaller, default resolution for more sharp sprites.

No, I was replying to the anon who posted the Versailles level from Bloodlines, while also posting a pic of another CV game.

>No, I just prefer to have original(-ish) Rondo & Symphony available right off the bat rather than have to slog and dig through a subpar remake to unlock them.
So yeah, you're enjoying the fact Konami sold you something with less content. Even if you personally, subjectively don't like said new content, even though you admit you like some of the new bosses.
> hence all the callbacks to other stages,
More like "hence all the hallways to other stages", 5b on original Rondo is nothing but hallways for you to walk through. I dunno what the "point" of that stage was, but it's better on the remake, as in, it has actual level design.
BTW, did Requiem include Dracula X peke?

Play the PSP version instead, you can download a save state for Dracula X Chronicles if you don't want to unlock if by playing the Rondo remake.

Peke is also included as an extra in PSP's Dracula X Chronicles, but not in Requiem.

They could have at least added the Rondo remake from PSP, even if people like to shit on it because not muh original, it has many extra nice stuff, and Dracula X peke while they were at it. Requiem is basically just come of the content of Dracula X Chronicles.

Best Castlevania game right here, lads.

I believe they are emulated, although maybe SOTN is actually a port since it has a lot of new stuff, namely Maria (who is different from the Saturn Maria).
I forgot to mention, on top of all that, it also includes "Dracula X Peke", the mini-game of sorts that appears when you put the Rondo CD on a PC Engine without the correct card.

PSP version from Dracula X Chronicles.

Nice, weekly Castlevania shitposting thread.

I think I can sum it up, let's see
>Castlevania Dracula X on SNES is a shitty port of Rondo of Blood
>Castlevania IV is for casuals and the sub-weapons are useless
>Classicvania has shit controls, SOTN is better
>SOTN is for casuals, best Castlevania is the MSX2 Vampire Killer
>Japanese Castlevania games suck, best one is Amigavania
>Rondo of Blood is for weeaboo faggots
>Castlevania III has bad level design
>Castlevania 64 sucks because of the Nitro mission and has aged badly
>Castlevania was never good

Am I missing something?

Best Rondovania coming through

Thanks, I was actually on 94% but I still needed to find some of the CDs on the levels, and beat full boss rush one more time. Now I got 100%.

Damn, they also included the unused Rondo of Blood track (the one from the first level of haunted castle), so nice.

I have the Sega Ages version of Panzer Dragoon 1 and unfortunately, it isn't a very good port. The controls feel really weird, I don't know if it's because of the PS2 pad, but I think it's one of the ports that weren't good (it was ported by some chinese devs as opposed to some of the other Sega Ages made by M2).
I also have Nights on PS2 and also suffers from control problems, doesn't feel as good as the Saturn, but at least it came in a fancy package with a hard cover book (apparently a replica of a book that came included originally with the japanese version of Nights for Saturn).

I think one of my favorite ports is the Dracula X Chronicles for PSP, includes original Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night (arguably the definitive version) and even the "dracula x peke" thingy.

This too, all the Sega 3D classics on 3DS as well as the few 3D classics Nintendo published.

Destiny cannot be stopped here.

>>1550363

it's also included as unlockable on the PSP remake.

Dracula X Chronicles, great remake and includes the original Rondo and SOTN

how about SOTN? The official definitive version for me is the PSP port on DXC, but some pepople prefer the PS1 version even though it has less content, just because it has "Le epic meme bad engrish"

The DXC version has some extras the original PS1 ver doesn't (I clearly reemmber there being like 2 more familiars, that I think were on the Saturn version, but not PS1).
And you can play as Maria too (but with her moveset from Rondo of Blood, unlike the Saturn version in which she has a different moveset).

I don't care about the dub because I played it in japanese. Once you've read "WHAT IS A MAN" wnough times as a meme, it stops being funny anyway.

But, all versions are good OP, I say if you're playing on a TV, play the PS1 ver, if you're playing on the go,play the DXC version (but you'll need to play the remake of Rondo first and unlock SOTN first)

Tried the PSP remake OP? plays flawlessly and adds a number of extras (including a Boss Rush mode with MULTIPLAYER CO-OP!), and even the original Rondo as unlockable.

can also be unlocked on the PSP remake
