Why didn't they port it to the Playstation like they did with Castlevania Chronicles?

The better question is why didn't they port it to the Sega CD for a US release like they did with Snatcher.

>> No.7859497

Is Rondo even as revered in Japan as it is in the west?
Every time I see japanese people talking Castlevania online, they talk about the famicom games, the super famicom game, or symphony of the night/igavanias.

Konami is a Japanese company first. PC Engine was big in Japan in the 90s (it completely crushed Mega Drive there). There was no point to produce an expensive rerelease for a game which was still widely in circulation.
Doesn't explain why on Earth they decided to port Symphony to Saturn, but the point still stands.

Japan tends to have shit taste. Their favorite Gundam series is SEED and their favorite Bleach character is Hitsugaya.

This unironically. Japan might be the home of a ton of incredible game developers, but think about where their current gaming market is at. Flooded and dominated by mobile shit and MMO garbage. The average Japanese gamer has worse taste than the average American gamer

>>7859497
yeah anon >>7860238 is right. Look at the character polls, or favorite series per season thing in anime or game magazines. They have shit taste. Practically all fans of japanese things , like japanophiles and weebs, have known that since the bubble collapsed the majority of people in japan have shit taste.

Rondo being Japan-only for a long time made it feel more special and elusive.

Why do you wish for shit ports?

Japan don't care about Castlevania, the IP was rebranded to the American name for a reason

for like what? 3 games?

Yes, as well as the first Lords of Shadows games.
Although, it makes sense for HoD, LoI, AoS, and LoS to all lose the "Demon Castle Dracula" title in Japan since Dracula never shows up in HoD, and his involvement in the story is meant as a plot twist for at least the last two.

They probably were going to but Chronicles likely sold like shit so it took years for the "sequel" to come out on PSP.
