It's a bit of a mess when it comes to the naming conventions, especially since the Japanese titles were quite different.

As you might know, the Japanese titles up until a certain point were called Akumajou Dracula instead of Castlevania.

What makes it more confusing is that the game on Saturn and PSone is called Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku.

While the PC-Engine one is called Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo.
Making it seem like it's a spin-off.
