dolls[edit]

Anyone know that the dolls are saying in Japanese on the X68000 and Japanese Chronicles games? Buzda 03:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Also, in the Japanese version, the dolls in the Tower of Dolls spoke random creepy Japanese ("yamete!" which means "stop!", amongst others.) These were hacked out of the American release for no good reason."

From The Castlevania Dungeon. Here.--Kaonashi 03:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I knew it was on that site somewhere. Buzda 09:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, sir.--Kaonashi 07:08, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They also said something else in Japanese when they first appear on screen that was edited out. Do you know what that was? Buzda 22:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This page should eventually be split into two separate articles[edit]

I've been contributing a considerable amount of information to this article lately, and I think it should soon be split into two- Akumajō Dracula (X68000) and Castlevania Chronicles. Yes, I know Chronicles is virtually the same as the original game but with added features, but there are many other game updates that have their own wiki pages. I mean look at Rondo of Blood, it's being updated as Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, yet they still have their own separate pages. I think a page separation would also further help with the confusion within this current article when referring to "Akumajō Dracula", which can mean the original Castlevania game for the Famicom/NES or Castlevania for the X68000. What do everyone think?Buzda 04:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit[edit]

Christ almighty this is one confusing article. I couldn't even make it through the first paragraph before giving up in frustration. Right now it appears to be written for a very expert audience, and should be rewritten by someone who 1) already knows what this game is, and 2) is a good copyeditor. --76.193.164.100 (talk) 02:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation for name change:[edit]

I changed the title of the article from Castlevania Chronicles to Akumajō Dracula (X68000). Normally we use the Western version of the title of a game. However, there was such a delay between the original X68000 game, and the playstation port, that I felt it made more sense to use the original name, and to organize the information on the PS1 port into one sub-section. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:25, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia convention we use the most common name in English language sources. That is clearly Castlevania Chronicles and should be restored. That's why the "western names" are favored, because they are the most common way to name the games in English, and this is the English Wikipedia. oknazevad (talk) 21:45, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese name[edit]

The article gives the Japanese name as キャッスルヴァニアクロニクル Kyassuruvania Kuronikuru. But the correct name seems to be 悪魔城年代記悪魔城ドラキュラ Akumajou Nendaiki: Akumajou Dracula. 99.122.168.208 (talk) 23:17, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the X68000 game[edit]

The article claims the X68000 game was called Castlevania, but that isn't really right considering it was only released in Japan, where they didn't use the name Castlevania, at least not at that point. It seems it would be more correct to say that the X68000 game was called Demon Castle Dracula since that's the English translation of the name. Thoughts? -Joltman (talk) 14:50, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
