Oh boy I finally get to try out Rondo Of Blood in its original form as opposed to Dracula X on the SNES which is a cut down port!

*Plays it*

Oh. Right. Hmm. It's got bullshit difficulty... I see

Yep rondo of blood is absolute bull hockey. Fuck that game.

Also it controls like arse. Dracula X was at least playable despite the massive amount cut out of it

@Nine Why was it cut? Was it just too much for the SNES to handle, or was it a "make it easier for western audiences" thing?

@Felthry no idea honestly. I suspect it's mostly because the original Sharp x68000 version did a lot of cutscenes and very very detailed backgrounds and spritework, plus voice acting, full proper music etc. Obviously the visuals and sound had to be cut down a bit, but the missing levels and cutscenes are a space/power thing I suspect. Certainly entire levels were utterly redesigned.
