History Trivia / CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood

* LateExportForYou: The original [[Platform/TurboGrafx16 PC Engine]] version game wouldn't leave Japan until the release of ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheDraculaXChronicles'' for the Platform/PlayStationPortable in 2007, which also contains an UpdatedRerelease version. A ROM rip of the original version was also made available for the Platform/{{Wii}}'s UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole internationally in 2010, though it was left untranslated.

** A UsefulNotes/Sega32X version was [[https://segaretro.org/File:AnimericaAVI_US_Vol.2_08.jpg reportedly]] [[https://segaretro.org/index.php?title=File:VideoGames_US_73.pdf&page=55 in]] [[https://segaretro.org/File:Freak_29_IL_Preview_1.jpg development]] under the name ''Dracula X''[[note]]which may or may not be the same as an untitled ''Rondo of Blood'' follow-up said to have been in development for the 32X[[/note]]. All that's known was that it was planned for release around the same time as the SNES conversion of the same name, and it was apparently going to make concessions to the audio and cutscenes in order to fit it on cartridge.
* WordOfGod: IGA and A.S.Minakata state in pg. 126 of ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheDraculaXChronicles The Dracula X Chronicles]]''' [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/cv-rob/tdxc-guidebook.htm official Japanese guidebook]] that they think the MysteriousWatcher in Stage 3' is Dracula, although the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] [[VideoGameRemake remake]] adds a wide hat to this figure. IGA also states that "X" in "Dracula X" was originally supposed to stand for the Roman numeral, as ''Rondo of Blood'' is considered the tenth game released in the ''Castlevania'' series[[note]]apparently counting Simon Belmont retellings such as the UsefulNotes/{{MSX}}2 and [[UsefulNotes/SharpX68000 X68000]] iterations but not the ''VideoGame/KidDracula'' spinoffs[[/note]], but it began to be thought of as its own sub-series at the time, as the Tokyo office had creative freedom from the Kobe office.

** Since Shaft was cut from the only port of this game to appear outside Japan[[note]]Before ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheDraculaXChronicles The Dracula X Chronicles]]''[[/note]]. Pity he was an important character in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight''.

* DummiedOut: A giant lizard or dragon that apparently shot laser beams is partially loaded at the end of the first area. Also, there are some graphics suggesting a "Stage X".
