Story wise I'd really like to see Julius' story. It's bothered me since AoS.
On another note, the DXC Konamistyle pak is sweet <3. Best b-day present so far.

I'm hoping for the 1999 game (Julius). It would be great to experience that story, Dracula's last hurrah. Since it would likely be a CV3 style game, I would hope it was on a console and 2D.
mills

I must agree. I would love to see a greater elaboration on Julius' role in the series, a new 2d console game would be an exceptional vehicle for said idea.

Looks like the Castlevania movie script has been revealed.
Castlevania 1, with a lead in to 2. Awesome. Let's see how well it's executed..

You know, I'd like to see a Castlevania game where you play as Dracula. I know there was Kid Dracula, but we haven't seen anything since then.
Arasoi
11-19-2007, 07:34 PM
You play as Dracula in AOS/DOS... technically.
Probably not what you had in mind though. =)
I say screw the CV film because it's prolly going to be done poorly.
Now the CV3 animation, that I can't wait to see even if Alucard doesn't look like his bishie counterpart. You guys know I love Kojima to death.

As long as it isn't Simon from the Captain N the Game Master show. That was horrible.
Dude don't say that XD. I loved Captain N and will be getting the box set too. I love 80's cartoons you see.
Simon was always my favorite just because he was so poorly portrayed. So was Alucard in that one episode. I swear I've never laughed so much. I always wanted Samus to be in the show like in the comics because simply Samus kicks ass. Guess what's one of game in my holy triangle of 3.
On a brighter note I just bought CotM and Double Pak mint. My little collection is growing <3. Anyone else notice the Symphony promo/beta in the selling thread?

Ah yes, I saw that post. It's being packed in some random PSX beta game lot that DreamTR is selling.
Too bad, I'd go after it if it were being sold individually.. getting it is kind of a crap shoot when it's being randomly packed in with another lot.
Maybe it's owner will share content with us =)

You can find several on ebay for the first two seasons. The 3rd (in my memory the last?) season is coming bundled with the mario show,whatever it was. I never grabbed those videos when I was a kid. I still have Captain N video tapes (with horrible finnish dubs) and need to get the zelda box set. i wish I'd find some Zelda videos with the finnish dub. I wonder if my bf would sell that one video he has XD.

True dat. You still surpsrise me. Me and Lux tought you'd buy all the lots just to get that one promo/beta.
Maybe the winner will sell it seperately for big bux.

Nah, not me. Somebody else did though, hopefully that person will share.
It would have been over $1000 for all of them anyway, all those other promos would have been wasted on me.

I've never been one for demos. But, I still would like to see a copy of X68k Castlevania. Do you have it Arasoi?
Arasoi
11-22-2007, 07:53 PM
I do have the commercial game yes, complete/mint etc. There is an even rarer version of the game that was sold from a vending machine in Japan, basically 5.25 discs in a plastic box. I've only seen that up for auction once on ebay, it was with a ton of other X68k stuff. The auction went out of my price range pretty quickly.
It's funny you should mention that particular game, someone payed nearly $1000 dollars for the retail version on Ebay a little while back, sheesh. The retail game is only worth about $120 tops, at least in my opinion.
RadiantSvgun
11-22-2007, 08:11 PM

Here's one, but that's a pretty high price to pay for it O_o
RadiantSvgun
11-22-2007, 10:58 PM
So thats what it looks like. Apparently the X68k used real floppy disks. B-drive. Reminds me of my crappy Tandy.
Arasoi
11-24-2007, 07:10 PM
Yep, the X68k used 5.25 or 3.5 inch floppy drives, but had expansion ports for hard drives. Some of the games could do a hard drive install for quicker load time/no disk switching or whatnot.
*shines the Ed Oscuro signal into the sky for more info*
Funny you should mention old Tandys, I actually was able to get VGA working on a Tandy 1000 by installing an 8 bit compatible VGA ISA board. You apparently can get sound and an old NiC running in them too if the ISA cards are 8 bit, but I didn't try that.

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n310/Protogem/disk1.jpg
After a battle with Luxie and a slightly less insane (than myself) rinkya user, I won this nifty blue disk variant of Akumajo Dracula FDS. It's missing the outer sheath that holds the plastic case, but those are pretty easy to get a hold of.
These blue disks are different from the yellow ones in that they have an actual dust cover/sheath over the spot where the disk reads. I know there is a blue disk variant of Dracula 2 as well.
Overall, more than I wanted to pay. But I couldnt be near the computer at it's exact ending time, so oh well. It's a nice item and doesn't hurt my Christmas shopping plans.

I've read on about 3-4 websites now that those disks were sold to be compatible with a special nintendo fax machine that sent in your high scores to Nintendo for contests. Interesting.
Also, I found a picture of the Dracula 2 blue disk, it was uploaded by Cho Aniki (from the Castlevania France forums) onto a big game list website:

Anybody pick up the CV figures yet? Mine got sent to the wrong address, I need to go pick them up. From online pictures the paint on the final retail figures looks to be a bit crap compared to the prototypes shown at SDCC =\
Also, you get close mouth variant drac, and "clear" simon which is supposed to be Simon after drinking the invincibility potion. Weird.
Yes Arasoi, I'm a rabid Dilbert fan and prolly the only one in friggin Finland. Everyone thinks it's lame even though it's ingenious.
At least most of my CV posters are sorted out now, I just framed my DXC pak poster. Gonna hang it later.

I dunno if I'd give anything at all really. Even at factory sealed state his demands would be too much. I'm tempted to go and say he's an idiot.
And notice the way he says "YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER..I REPEAT NEVER SEE ANOTHER COLLECTION LIKE THIS FOR SALE ON EBAY" and "THIS COLLECTION TOOK ME YRS TO COMPLETE AND I WAS ALMOST DONE WITH THE IMPORT SIDE IM ONLY MISSING A FEW IMPORTS BUT BELIEVE ME THE WAY MY COLLECTION IS NOW IS JUST AMAZING"

The whip is super awesome. I was going to get one anyway for fun so why not a CV style whip. It's a pain in the ass to find nowadays though.

Thats Akumajo Dracula for the MSX2, more commonly known as Vampire Killer (the name of the European release).
It was originally thought to be the first released game, but in fact it was released a month or two after Akumajo Dracula for the Famicom disk system.
I actually was able to play this some on real hardware last month on the MSX2 Ed Oscuro gave me, I have to say it makes a difference, especially with the timing and controls (mine came with a joypad)
Tough game, one of the most interesting aspects is that each subweapon seems to have a different command to work.
(RANTRANTRANT)
Oh man I think I'm starting to hate christmas.
Yesterday I lost a bidwar for CV 2 BR. It was mint too, had all the inserts and I lost it by one fucking dollar only. My stupid computer froze and it cost me yet another bid.
Today was the ending day for a FS Bloodlines too. Some guy who had bought SotN for 30 eur presumably doesn't know shit and kept pushing the price up. Now the finnish auction site has this stupid thing that the auction ends correctly or 5 minutes after the last bid. I could have won it for 30 eur but noooo, it had to be 40+sh. I don't mind the price pushing THAT MUCH because the game will be worth. He should have just quit when he saw I outbid him every time he raised the price. Why can't they leave me alone.
Then I tought that maybe there was some replies to my sale thread in the finnish CV forum. I hadn't put prices on my Saturn SotN because I haven't had the chance to put the picture up and the case has a nice crack in the front, which was done by, da dum dum dum, poor packaging. So I have no idea about how much I should ask for it so I decided if someone wants it they can tell how much they would offer. So some guy starts bitching about how everything for sale has to have a price. Asshole, I started the thread. If I HAD put prices someone would have complained that they're too pricey. I don't take that kind of shit, and I dislike selling stuff already.
The last thing ruining my x-mas is the new Joker from the new Batman movie. JESUS CHRIST WHAT WERE THEY THINKING.

Adding to my rant, someone swiped the boku dracula kun that someone from dp was selling at ebay. Just minutes before I was going to buy it.

Pus I'm annoyed about not being able to bid on yahoo. shdjb BS.

I paid 13 dollars for ship and what I got in return was an 1.80 bubble mailer and a destroyed package.
This is a frequent occurance with the smaller, cheaper items nowadays sadly. This happened with one of the PoR pre-order bonuses I received from a retailer as large as EB games. It really annoys me.
I'm surprised so many people (both here and elsewhere) think the little 8 bit simon figures are ugly though. I thought they were allright, for what they were.

This hasn't happened to me yet, even on smaller items.
And the first simon figure is okay, but the repainted one is just plain sloppy and horrible. It may just be my artists eye, since I work on making models as well.
Anyone interested on CV figures of better quality than neca? abot 100-150 bucks each XD.
I've started making models from sculpey and super sculpey. I'm currently working on the older Amy Rose. But damn they are expensive to make, and time consuming.
