Akumajou Dracula (Japan)
Super Castlevania IV (Japanese: 悪魔城ドラキュラ Hepburn: Akumajō Dorakyura?, Devil's Castle Dracula[2]) is a platform game developed and published by Konami and the first Castlevania game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was originally released in 1991 and later re-released on the Virtual Console in 2006 for the Wii,[3] in 2013 for the Wii U, and in 2016 for the New Nintendo 3DS.[4] It features expanded play control, 16-bit graphics featuring SNES Mode 7, and a soundtrack featuring brand new pieces and arrangements based on previous Castlevania music. Following the same setting as Castlevania on the NES, the game takes place in 1691 Transylvania, where the vampire hunter Simon Belmont must defeat the vampire Dracula.[3][5]
======================
One of the oldest and often continued game series released by Konami is the "AkumaJou Dracula"-saga, in Western countries better known as "Vampire Killer" and most frequently known as "Castlevania".
The first of the two games For Nintendo's Super Famicom/SNES was released in Japan as well as internationally, however, some of the details were censored for the translated versions.
This is a comparison between the uncensored Japanese Super Famicon version and the censored North American SNES version. The censorship can be found in any international version - the Japanese version is the only uncensored version in existance.
The dripping blood during the title screen was deleted.
During the intro, the cross on Dracula's tombstone was deleted and you can no longer read the name.
The tombstones in stage 2 also miss out on the crosses.
The statues are a little more revealing in the uncensored version.
The blood during the levels was re-colored: in the original version it's red, while in the censored version it's green. The same thing happened with all the drips that fall from the ceiling and hurt you.
The coffin-enemies also miss out on the corsses.
