'''Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, or also known as Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo in Japan''' (悪魔城ドラキュラＸ 血の輪廻, ''Akumajō Dracula X: Chi no Rondo'') is a game for the [[TurboGrafx-CD]] released on [[October 29]], [[1993]]. Contrary to expectations it was never released outside Japan. In [[1995]] a [[SNES]] game called [[Castlevania: Dracula X]] ([[Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss]] in Europe) was released; despite initially appearing to finally be an English port it turned out to be a sequel of sorts (called ''Akumajō Dracula XX'' in Japan), and was not well received.
'''Castlevania: Rondo of Blood''', known in Japan as {{nihongo|'''Akumajō Dracula X: Chi no Rondo'''|悪魔城ドラキュラX 血の{{Ruby|輪廻|ロンド}}}}, is a [[platform-adventure]] video game developed by [[Konami]] for the [[TurboGrafx-CD|PC Engine Super CD-ROM² System]] directed by Toru Hagihara. It is set in the fictional universe of the ''[[:Category:Castlevania|Castlevania]]'' series, where the protagonist Richter Belmont goes to save his lover Annette, who was abducted by Dracula.  It was released in Japan on October 29, [[1993]]. A direct sequel to it, ''[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]'', was released in 1997. The game was later ported to the [[Super Nintendo]] as ''[[Castlevania: Dracula X]]'', and the [[PlayStation Portable]] as ''[[Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles]]''. It features an enhanced "2.5D" version of Dracula X alongside the original version, as well as an enhanced port of [[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]].
In 2008, the unaltered original game was released for the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] service in Japan and for the North American and PAL regions in 2010.


On February 1, 2007 the compilation [[Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles]] was announced for the [[PlayStation Portable]]. It features an enhanced "2.5D" version of Dracula X alongside the original version, as well as an enhanced port of [[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]].
