oh crap!! i still playing Dawn of Sorrow and Portraits of Ruins

wao...
the first kinda ok..
second 1 got wifi...

why not? the GBA had three castlevanias too..... in fact, four plus the port of the original Castlevania NES. this will likely to be last Vania for the DS, lets hope they announce a console one soon....

not another console...
habis duit............

hehe, i am definitely getting it. how about you?

Day 1 purchase for me. Castlevania never lets me down

haha.....need u ask? though i haven't even started on PoR !!! however i did finish CoTM recently, great game...... one of the best post-SOTN vania

circle of the moon? u have the cart edy?

yeah found the cart in the bargain bin of some game shop....my GBA vania collection is finally complete!

huh? in singapore? when r u going there again?

Love castlevania. Very tough, cool and really fun.

soon.... to get my zack & wiki, unless you can order it from GS for me

anyways back to castlevania, does anyone else notice what a jerk the GT interviewer is ? he is clearly making fun of koji name and japanese in general with the way he talks, where did they get these guys..... 1up interviewers are so much better

not sure actually. but beta get it from singapore if u can.

wah, can help me check the price of castlevania gba series? thinking of collecting all three games together.

sure sure....

not sure if u can find GBA vanias anymore in SG apart from the double pack that is. i got my CoTM from KL, BTS and it was the japanese import version just so u know.

wah, reli hardcore la u. best version or normal one? how much?

but nevermind mah, i wont mind if i can get 2 great games in one cart, just one question though, how much would it be most probably? new or used?

my CoTM was first print of course, i think it was RM60..... had to play with the eng game script printed out from Gamefaqs!

i think the double pack would probably be around sing$35-39, i have seen some shops doing a two for $60 promotion that time if i remember correctly......

wah, brand new at that price? i am on la. u mean 2 original gba games at that price? u are not interested in other games ar?

anyone knows what is the timeline for this game? koji san says it takes place after richter belmont loses the vampire killer whip so that's why there are no belmonts in this game....

so this should be after rondo of blood right? wait i can't remember if richter still carries the vampire killer in symphony of the night, it could take place after SoTN....

anyways koji has mentioned before he has the story of how the vampire killer whip ended up in the morris family (as seen in PoR & bloodline) drawn out in his head so i wonder would this will be it?

ui rhoyo smart la kau
I love Castlevania!

i dun think anyone knows the timeline as much as u do.

i think is after DOS lo...since julius one on one with soma @ special ending...so there end the belmont's blood?
anyway!!glad is still ARPG+2d....3d castlevania never make have the feel to complete(include 2 title on N64)

Wait, Dawn of Sorrow had another ending? darn it! i tot the last one was he defeated that huge sized guy turned demon? dang...

This post has been edited by Pr1me_Minister: May 21 2008, 01:07 PM

actually richter belmont was the last belmont to hold the vampire killer..... DoS is set many years into the future after the battle of 1999 where julius belmont is still upholding the belmont legacy. In fact, julius was the one to banish the count during the battle of 1999 right? This was explained in Aria of Sorrow i think.

No one knows how the vampire killer made its way back to the belmont bloodline btw SoTN and DoS....
this is the period where PoR was set in so that's why the morris family were keepers of the vampire killer during that time.

i don't think this is after DoS, most probably btw SoTN and battle of 1999, before the count was banished and....

nvm...castlevania series...the story line is just so confusing now...dracula now revive as he like ...dont really need to bother the story now??just pawn dracula arse.

anyone knows where to find latest issue of Nintendo Power and how much does it cost? me always buy outdated old issues but the latest issue featured Order of Ecclesia on the cover with tons of artwork and info.... won't mind picking it up now if the price is right, need my dracula fix. any idea guys?

time square the boarders. andy used to help me pick up the latest issue of nintendo power.

cant wait for the latest Castlevania series

my last one is CPOR:
LVL 75:

100 % drop/beast/skill/quest
92%++ items.

over 14 hrs game time.

anyone can tell my when is the (E)/(U) coming out for de new one?

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34621.html

Japanese Debut Trailer. Some parts of it reminds me of SotN, which is the gold standard which all Castletroid games are judged against. Michiru Yamane is doing the music again, and I love the music in the trailer.

should be fall 2008. i cant wait for it too.

anyone saw the boss from contra ??lolz...crossover !!

awesome trailer..... doesn't look like ayame art but looks great all the same. contra boss? which one.....

that creature that look like crab..or lobster lo..

rumours of a castlevania wii to be released sometime this year along with order of ecclesia..... finally some old-skool konami game on the wii!

Damn , Shinoa looks really cool . Shame that Ive sold my DS , finished both POR and SOS though .

huhu, later it turns out to be another 3d castlevania game again.

Already finish Dawn of Sorrow and Potrait of Ruin....i will waiting for this one to be released....

About the timeline of this game....it is set before the morris family get the vampire killer whip and the story tell about how the belmont clan will passing the whip to the morris clan..and why there are no more belmont to hold the VK whip...all question will be answer in this latest installment of Castlevania Order of Ecclesia...that what i read from the interview with the developer at gamespot.com

kotaku confirms that the new Castlevania Wii will be a brawler entitled Castlevania Judgement, somehow the shot of Simon brawling with Alucard just reminds me of Vania 64.

http://kotaku.com/5020097/wii-castlevania-...a-fighting-game

back to ecclesia, Borders Curve currently have the latest issue of NinPower in stock (vol 230) which have a cover story feature on Order of Ecclesia, just got mine yesterday....inside IGA confirms that OOE character designer is Masaki, and not Ayame cos he didn't her artwork is suitable for the DS (not high-res enuf?) On the flip side, Michiru Yamane is composing the score for OOE .....

This issue is a keeper, 10 pages worth of Vania including a retrospective on previous Vanias with IGA's comment on each past Vania game!

i just finished POR last nite... but seems like it's not the correct ending one... the castle crumbles and the bos got away... or is it just that??

Got multiple endings.. search on gamefaqs ^^

oh man... i dun like readings ><

bid, pls post the link of ur news on the US pre-order bonus here.... u didn't leave a decent link on ur blog posting

Sini sini!

Please delay, please delay, I'm so broke I can't afford to pre-order now

cheh...i read ur blog dy, just wondering how u found out about it. it's posted on any game site??? or just gamestop?

should i cancel my PA pre-order? argh, i want flower, sun & rain instead now !

Added on October 9, 2008, 8:56 pmgundam, just part with some more of ur rare collectibles and u will be back in business again
then u can buy castlevania judgment while u are at it....

This post has been edited by why_79: Oct 9 2008, 08:56 PM

no delay please, i have been eagerly anticipating for it.

i bumped into it when i went through upcoming games at gamestop. if that is available at amazon as well, it would be easier to get...

bid, u memang potong stim one... the description at gamestop is more or less the same as the one at amazon.

if we are not getting a hardcopy disc of the OST from the amazon pre-order we are sure as hell not getting one from the gamestop pre-order as well. both store are offering the same pre-order girft la, why do u think gamestop ask for your email add as well?

and notice their site pic of the OST does not actually depict a hardcopy disc? i think both store are only offering a digital download of the OST unless i see a hardcopy of the OST disc surface somewhere...

Working hard to sell my stuff.. you finish playing your FFVII already?

hehe, if really is digital one, we should not bother wif it anymore. but still even if there are physical copies for it, it would still be hard for us to secure one copy lo.

gee u think? lets see what happens when the guys at gamefaqs/neogaf gets their copy.... i'm highly doubtful though and besides it's just a six-track disc.

i rather have the simon belmont 8-bit lego/kubrick from dracula x chronicles pre-order.

since this is about castlevania, do u guys happen experience glitch / hanged in castlevania potrait of ruin

Added on October 16, 2008, 10:54 pmwhy is it very few developer develop such 2d game..? We are all enjoying 2d platform game, isnt right guys?

---

Added on October 16, 2008, 10:57 pmi hear 2009 there will be great castlevania game planned for ps3 for castlevania annivesary

---

Added on October 16, 2008, 10:58 pmoh hell, i love castlevania very very much. Sorry cant control my impulse. BTW, is it japanese version that been released or us also got?

This post has been edited by seijiseimura84: Oct 16 2008, 10:58 PM

neither the us version or japanese version of order of ecclesia is out yet, i think it's sometime in this month though.

as for portrait of ruin, i did hear that the game is a bit dodgy when played on r4, can't help cos i haven't played it myself.

last time when portrait of ruins was released marked the 20th anniversary of the castlevania series, there are a lot of new castlevania titles announced for this year and next but no major anniversary as far as i know.....

My DS with Order Of Ecclesia theme, gotta love Shanoa!!!!!!!!

hehe, nvm. very hard to get the preorder version and i would rather get the normal one. play asia here i come.

i think there is bug during the fight wif death. never encountered that though.

bcos developers think that 3d games are more bankable.

castlevania 20th anniversary was last year.

oh please tell me, where do u get one

www.ndsthemes.com

still waiting for Order Of Ecclesia .
it written 21/oct/2008 release..

PA has yet to issue a release date for their stock so i really wonder if i'll get it before the end of October.

Not that i'm in a hurry to play it but i think with DoS and PoR dy out-of-stock in Pa, don't wanna take the chance with this one.

Hope you have learned your lesson, Castlevania's values usually goes up as the time flow or hard to find again

zomg the game has landed ! ^________________^

still not yet release..

How are you getting this game rhoyo?

released japan version today already

really, wow that is good.

And nao US version is available already. Yesterday I was excited with the 3rd Castlevania. Nao I'm double wet my pant.

IGN has given their review for this.

9.0/10.

But not better than Dawn of Sorrow. I was shocked.

IMO...


gameplay wise, DOS better than POR.

But still both are pretty good!

can't wait for my copy of OOE to arrive!

Wait urs is coming pen? Wanna have a demo if its before gathering.

LOL~ nah... I pass. I rather wait for it. Not sure when tho'....


PA hasn't put up the released date yet...

Either way, u'll be a satisfied customer.

pen, didn't u read PA weekly updates? they expect it to ship next week...

personally, i think both AoS and CoTM are hard to top as far as portable vanias goes ..... DoS? didn't really see it as much of an improvement from AoS apart from the soundtrack being generally better.

Oh yeah, next week Just in time to be shipped with my TFVI

got received, but didn't have time to read.

Anyway, PA site has stated Fri, 24 Oct 2008, can check HERE.


Shanoa is soooooooo HAWT!!!

Official Japanese Site

im in total respect for all the forumers in this thread who is getting the original COOE..



u know wat i mean... if i say this

any chance that u r gonna sell it after completing it? if yes i would rather wait for ur copy.

if u want to support it, surely u can.

u guys get my respect too, someone in console couch once noted that ps3 owners shouldn't brag about supporting ori because they really dont have a choice but nintendites here do it by choice. there's a big difference and most guys here do it quietly without acting holier than thou and lecturing others to do the same.... that's mature.

can't quite say the same about those "holy" ps3 fanboys.....

bid, dont be a cheapo and just get a new copy dy.

Wah, why's angry at Bid.

yes quite true... absolutely right from the first to the last sentence.. i admit being one of them

btw:

my short score on this game:

gameplay:8/10 (slightly dislike the button layout although almost the same as original.)

sound:10/10

graphic: 10/10

story: ?/10

replaybility: ?/10

Highly unlikely I'll sell, ask Why_79

haha i almost nvr sell my games even the ones i don't like and my duplicates. fortunately (or unfortunately?) i don't have any castlevania duplicates....

Shanoa is sooooooo HAWT!!!

OMG!!! I kept watching the trailer again & again & again...

bcos of Shanoa!

IGN give this a 9.0 Ahhh, donno whether to get now or wait

if org kaya leh la get it now

if not kaya leh blah..ahaha

YEAH!!! PA shipped mine!

this game is hard.. esp the 2 special stages.. ridiculously hard... weapons are near to useless. Only magic skills will do the job.

hard like didi...even 2nd boss takes so long to finish T_T

haha.. really hard.. check out the second last boss.. shadow wolf.. took me ALOT of tries to GG the boss.. and youtube got ppl GG the boss without scratch.. @@

is this game really worth?

i already play castelvania psp version..looks like gba graphic and gameplay

dude...that what makes castlevania good... u want crappy 3d version u go play the ps2 version la..castlevania is meant for 2D...always n forever

so this is another side scrolling??nvm,i try since all the reviews are good

i reach the final boss.. overall this game is good.. not as good as the previous 2 brothers..

IMO.

this game is easy if u know how to exploit ur skills, and vice versa.

anyone got their copy from PA yet? me anxiously waiting..... going to play it all this weekend (hopefully).

gundam got his.

finish por and dos edy?

Hah? You haven't received this game yet? I thought I was slow since I waited for TFVI as well. Anyway it's slowly collecting dust now in the shelf

finished DoS once but haven't even touch PoR.... if i just leave OoE lying around unplayed and a few months later, it gets discounted it kinda makes paying full retail price a bit redundant. PoR was different as i wanted the pre-order gift.... bid not planning to get OoE? what's the point of even asking ooj when u are not in kl anymore??

maybe KK is closer to HK than KL? when did u get yours and what is TFVI btw?
