What? Capcom has nothing to do with these games.
My bad, wrong publisher of quality games :)

I have been playing Capcom and Konami games on the handhelds and got them mixed up.

No worries. Lots of us here like picking on people's mistakes. :)

Mega Man 2, Bionic Commando, Little Nemo from Capcom; Life Force, Contra, Blades of Steel from Konami... they're both great!

This specific problem was caused with the cross-overs from Megaman Battle Network and Boktai, I swapped my head around I guess. I actually knew Castlevania was Konami :)

No worries. All is forgiven!!!

I pronounced the Ys games wrong for years. Mistakes happen.

The common way of mispronouncing; like "whys" instead of "ees".

Speaking of game related stuff I didn't know...

I was listening to the Giant Bombcast and this little nugget of info was brought to my attention. Rondo of Blood literally refers to blood that is hitting the floor so fast and in such quantity as to create music that is fast or vivacious. I always thought rondo was just a Japanese word that I didn't know, but it actually fits in with all of the other musical themed Castlevania titles.

Doesn't that make the title of the game sound so much more awesome in context?

Haha. It's very common to mispronounce it! You and theworm need a lesson!

The Japanese characters on the title screen give it away... but of course you have to be able to read a few letters in katakana to make sense of it.

Just take the "eese" out of "cheese" and that's how you say it.
