Don't worry: I don’t have any idea what a rondo is either, not to mention how you fill it full of blood.
Released in 1993, the Rondo of Blood never made it overseas in its original form to the dismay of Castlevania[悪魔城ドラキュラ] fans. It soon became one of the most esoteric games of its era due to its obscure platform (PC Engine CD) and high bidding price on eBay. Thanks to the Wii’s Virtual Console, you’ll only need to spend $9 rather than $120. Even that is a high asking price for such an old game, but what you are getting is one of the best of the series that holds up just as well as its Super Nintendo and PlayStation entries, despite the lack of built-in nostalgia. The game’s multi-path level design, hidden playable characters, clever set pieces, intense boss fights, and lush soundtrack (thanks to its original disc format) set it apart. I don’t think I would have had nearly as fun, however, if it weren’t for Rose, a character unique to this entry that has fluidity and range that will make the rest of the game much easier as well as give it a much different feel. The game is brief but with multiple paths and playable characters, you’ll want to play it at least twice. After many lackluster handheld entries and the recent Castlevania Rebirth (also for Wii), this is the true return to the series fans wanted even if in reality it’s merely a missing chapter.

4 and Bloodlines are perfectly manageable, 2 is a total joke and the first one is short enough to not be a massive painful timesink. The ones that are going to absolutely crush your nuts in a vice are 3, Dracula X and Chronicles. Those are the games that turn boys into men
