Californication | 1,477 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 So the clock is ticking down on ordering the Castlevania Collection and I am thinking about skipping it. I have all the games (minus gameboy) and I just ordered King of Dragons and S.C.A.T. so I am feeling guilty about ordering a game that I don't need. I do like the artwork on the box a lot though. Did everyone order the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I was in the same boat as you, and bought it just because it was 40$. I waffled for a while though. I may never open it but its a great compilation. Edited June 28, 2021 by MrWunderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,525 Editorials Team · Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I did. Here's the thing about LRG: anytime I've regretted my decision, and decided to get rid of a game, I come out ahead. It's a pretty safe bet to always buy when in doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I bought it with 4min left on the clock once Paypal processed it as done. Actually forgot about it and something popped up about 45min before and I remembered I wanted it, but was like $35 or $60, that CD. They never would answer my question about it early on, saw others since too, saying it's not finalized. Seemed fishy to me, but I was leveraging interest heavily on that. In the end I went for it. I figured the beautiful poster being the size it is, I have an old Now You're Playing with Power NES poster of the same dimensions and found this cheap frame at hobby lobby a couple years ago for it that displays well, so I could pop tha tup and swap it now and again so that is a plus. And knowing Castlevania music is rarely non-memorable and it's never crap, so I went for it. Just hoping it's not some lame thing of LRG knowing and being quiet it's some weenie few track sampler like some games get, but instead is like a full fledged 10+ deal with some best of tracks from the various games in the package, it would be the right thing after all (1-3 tracks per title maybe?) Castlevania music is a short listed thing of what I'd be comfy MP3'n and stuffing on my phone for blue tooth car radio time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 984 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I got the digital version really cheap months ago. If it wasn't for that, I would pick one up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiseredux | 232 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 pre-ordered mine as soon as it was available. I had avoided the digital version knowing that a physical kinda HAD to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmauzo | 1,200 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I got the one with the shadow box. I'm a big fan of shadow boxes, steel books, and Castlevania artwork, so the poster was also very appealing. There are some series' or games that - even if I already have a licensed way to play them - I'll always give in and buy/re-buy and Castlevania is one of those much in the same way Mega Man is. I hope you pulled the trigger @Californication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Count | 527 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I ordered the classic edition for PS4. I'm a sucker for the Konami silver NES style box art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you pulled the trigger @Californication I really really wanted that book in hard copy, but the $110 jump for a pile(for me) of personally useless crap that would end up in a dark closet just to get the book was too steep. I wish I could buy a copy somewhere, but I don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOURTURN | 1,256 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I ended up passing on it. It was on my list, but that has changed. With reasons being that I am putting my full effort into my Dragon Quest collection before I decide it is time to take a break. And while Simon's Quest is on the top end of my NES list, not buying this gives me more money to work with. And more time debating on what I should consider buying. Plus, I still cannot see Konami the same way ever since I first saw his commercial all those years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inzoreno | 102 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I did, and this is someone who already bought it on PS4 and got all of the trophies for it. I absolutely love Castlevania and not only did I want the compilation in my collection, I wanted to show Konami that there still is a demand for the series. I will be doing the same thing when Castlevania Requiem goes up for preorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
