Dracula X (PC Engine) Vs Super Castlevania IV (SNES) - which game is better?

[nodtveidt]

Yuck... SNES Dracula X is an abomination. YOU MUST OBEY!

[gamerslife]

lol, i would obey but not for $100......ill wait till i can get a deal

[Tatsujin]

lol $100 is such cheap considering the uberquality of that ubergame it should be more like $3000..HAHA!!

[gamerslife]

if it was 3k we could call it magical dracula x chase, actually that would prob make it 5K or more

[Tatsujin]

just wanted to express of how good of a game it is on a "would have to pay for its goodness" scala

As tats already suggested, this is one of those rare times where paying $100, even if you are poor, is totally worth it.

This games is easily worth the price of several premium games because it provides so much entertainment/fun.

YOU WILL REPLAY THIS.  Then, even if you shelve it for a year or two, YOU WILL REPLAY IT AND ASK YOURSELF (1) why didn't I do this sooner and (2) why can't all my $$$ be spent on things that have a huge payoff/return on investment?

Thinking long-term, Dracula X holds it's value (fun-wise).

Lots of other games lose their novelty/magic once you play the hell out of them.

 

[Tatsujin]

probably easily the most best spent monies for any game you can get out there, EVER :idea:

[gamerslife]

ok ill look into it a little harder but if i decide ya'll lied i will have to start beating my hamster again since they can't call the cops and no one cares about hamsters, its the lucky winner of my wrath....hahaha

[geise]

I've owned the game for over 2 decades and I just played it again last night!  I will do the same thing in another 20 when I'm about 60 years old.  I just hope my reflexes hold out till then.    "I don't remember this game being so difficult."

Definitely.

Rondo is a testament to game design, while Dracula X is the antithesis.

Besides, think Rondo at $100 is expensive? Dracula X's U.S. version goes for $150 just for a cart!

Also, I played SOTN for the first time a few months ago (got the 360 port), and it was incredible. However, it's platforming isn't as good as Rondo's, and it's exploration isn't as good as Super Metroid's.

Ya I got Dracula x for what the cart goes for now....but my big prob is the japan ebay users keeping the prices high...I have lots of friends in japan so I've been waiting for a game to pull the buddy card and I might do it for this...we'll see

I always enjoyed Dracula X on the SNES, and I never understood why it got so much flak from everyone. Then I finally got to play Rondo on the PCE, and I was like "Ohhhhhhh, that's why."
