All I want to do is play Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. That’s all I want to play right now. But, leave it to Konami to not ever bundle it in any of the Castlevania bundles they’ve released so far. And leave it to Konami to exclusively lock it to a small bundle that is exclusive to a previous gen console such as the PS4 with NO plans of ever reaching PC.

So what are my options now? Emulate of course, so I opted to pirate a copy of Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP after I read that you can play Rondo of Blood. But leave it to Konami to not make it that simple, because you have to complete a certain task in a certain stage at a certain part just to simply UNLOCK the fucking version!

My other option is to emulate the PC-Engine and go through yet another obstacle course just to get one fucking game to run.

This is what brings my blood to a boil, is when there had been perfect opportunities and chances for game devs to do the obvious. If there is a high demand for a game that you know people would want to fucking play, you fucking bundle it and fucking release it.

You do not have a damn argument to stand by against piracy, game devs, when you have to make it such a pain in the ass for people to spend time and effort just to play a game YOU didn’t want to simply release!

How do you fuck up this badly, Konami? Technically speaking, Rondo of Blood is a 16-bit game, so there was no excuses to have not included it in the initial Castlevania Anniversary Collection. But of course, just nostalgia bait everyone with all of the other games they could’ve emulated several times as easier than it is just to get the ONE game you didn’t want to bundle.

So fuck you.

    They released the original Anniversary Collection (Mixed 8-Bit and 16-Bit games) in 2019, Advance Collection (The GBA games + Dracula X on SNES) in 2021 and the Dominus Collection (The DS games) last year. So, there’s probably some hope that maybe the next collection would probably, maybe have Symphony of the Night, Rondo of Blood, the Game Boy games, the N64 games and maybe a few PS2 ones? I don’t know where they could go from there but that’s all that’s left as to what to re-release.

    Either way, I don’t have all the time in the world for them to get around to it.
