The European release of the game was edited. The first obvious difference is the name change – it was renamed Castlevania – Vampire’s Kiss. This European version also appear to be censored and the blood was re-colored white, especially when Richter dies. Another interesting difference is the Cross secondary weapon – although it definitively looks like a crucifix in the original Japanese version, it was changed to a cross in the European release. Finally, Death’s final death was changed – although he cuts off his head with his own scythe in the Japanese version, it just disappears in a burst of flames in the European version. All the other differences are relatively minor, such as extra copyright information when the European version boot up.
