Rondo of Blood ported to the Genesis

[Juiceala]

I wonder if this will be complete and if it will include the FMVs.

someone's also been working on a Symphony of the Night port as well. This was the last update video on it.

Also, Rondo doesn't have any FMVs (most PC Engine CD games don't), but it does have the CD audio voice acting. Sega CD version would be the only way to include them.

I find it curious that he's using the 'Symphony of the Night' Richter for 'Rondo of Blood'..

 

[Viviana Santos]

Wow, this is awesome! I didn't know they were porting these two games to the Genesis; the Rondo of Blood Genesis port looks really good!

 

[Miles Miles]

This is so cool! Hopefully there will be a playable release at some point.

That's so cool!

The romhacking community is just amazing.

SOTN Richter moves and PSP DXC OST. I admit this got me more interested than I normally would be regarding these ports.

Now if they provided a route to save everybody in one playthrough, I'd consider it pretty much perfect.

I didn't even know about this one, and here I thought Rondo of Blood port was impressive (it is) we are living in the era of impressive ports and I'm loving it.

This is cool. I'm eager to play both these ports once they're finished.

Cool, i have to play the original SNES version though.

The SNES version is the (altered) port, the original was on the PC Engine (aka TurboGrafx-16 CD)..

Oh, i thought that was the other way around.

The constant love that people still show the Genesis/Mega-Drive all these years later makes my heart happy

Pretty much most old consoles as well

Probably just a proof of concept at the end of the day, still, cool though.

I fear if this is the case and tbf TheSegaGuru has a tendency to sometimes oversell or share inaccurate information, not by intentions obviously, I hope this one gets complete and isn't a similar case to that Robocop Arcade port to the Mega Drive.

 

[Moreno909]

Cool

I would thanks the person who would port the PC Engine version of the game to the SNES instead of whatever Vampire's Kiss was.

Memory limitations of the cartridge format were what prevented that in the first place. The only reason why this would work is because it would actually be a Sega CD port..

I still believe that, outside of cutscenes and audio obviously, the SNES could've gotten most of the layouts given in the PC Engine game since it's more or less a 8-bits console with 16-bits graphics.

An SNES cartridge's ROM capped out at around 6 MB, whereas even if you were to cut all of the redbook audio out, the first .bin file of Rondo of Blood is 8.6 MB..
I'm willing to bet that compressing what was left, if it was actually possible, would've taken far less time & effort than making an entire separate version. There's a reason why Konami went the route that they did..
