Castlevania on the DS is a constant reminder of how perfect 2D can be. I'm glad I'll be getting the pre-order bonus
Indeed. I really hope we see a 2d Metroid on the DS one of these days.
The pre-order stuff is awesome, although I've mostly just listened to the cd, I haven't really looked at the timeline or artbook yet.
So, I didn't see it mentioned in the OP...is there anything in this one that'll require the use of the stylus? Because I wasn't a big fan of that in the last game.
Have DoS; not yet beaten it (I'm close). Very much looking forward to this. I've been a fan of the series since the original. Hope I can still score the pre-order bonus.
Personally, I am absolutely pumped about this game. I just preordered it yesterday and got the awesome preorder swag that accompanies it. Dawn of Sorrow was utterly fantastic and one of my favourite DS games, and from what I hear this game is going to be even better. I'm so excited that this is the only game I'm willing to buy for myself this close to Christmas.
I don't think this is so bad for my first game-centric post. Discuss!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You ordered it yesterday and you got all your pre-order bonus at that moment? I reserved one or two months ago and I didn't get squat. I'm not even sure I'll be getting a bonus at all.

Guy1: There's nothing bitchin about the games soundtrack. It's practically all elevator music.
Guy2: That's just hilariously stupid. I can't imagine playing a fighting game with "Girl from Ipanema" playing in the background.

Yeah, I definitely got my pre-order stuff on Saturday when I ordered. If you ordered in a store, I'd advise heading down there to see if they have the pre-order stuff in.

OK, so I pre-ordered from EB on-line on the 26th Oct. and the site now says both my items (the game and the pre-order bonus) are "processing". I hope this means what I think it means, but I don't think I'm going to find out for sure until after Christmas, 'cause I live in England
On the Other hand, that bonus is so damn awesome, I almost don't care about the game, I just want the shinies...
Can I just ask those of you who have the bonus gift already; What is this "card case" they talk about and how, exactly, is the stylus "themed"?

The case is disappointing, actually.... it's just a small case that holds both Castlevania carts (I thought it was a case that held the entire cases of the games). The stylus is white with a clear shell, says "Castlevania" on the side (in the awesome font), and extends so it's not a bitch to hold.
I won't be picking this up right away, but only because I recently acquired Dawn of Sorrow and the game is just balls-out fantastic. I'm not normally a collector-type of gamer but even I'm interested in just farming souls for a little bit. I went through the main game and I'm doing both a Julius mode run and a Hard mode run right now.
Hmh, I got official anniversary soundtrack and I must say this is really bizarre compilation. NES-songs are clearly emulated, there is too much emphasis on bass, and mixer has also added small amount of echo to most songs. Furthermore, Portrait of Ruin's songs have different arrangements than you can actually find from the game. Pretty disapointing.

OK, that's actually much more useful than what I had imagined, so bonus bonus!
Thanks for the info...
3 pages later, it still is. It's like people don't even bother with the thinnest pretense of having something to say.
I do wish to congratulate someone for being such a deep loser that you had to drool over a pic that's not even particularly out there. Keep up the good fight, pal -- one day society will let you enjoy being gay and you won't have to try so hard.
What's the deal with weapons in this game? Is it like the more recent titles with the SotN-style variety of weapons, or are we stuck with just a whip that gets powered-up? Because honestly, that'd be really fucking disappointing.

what
I think he's sick of the pre-order discusion..
R-r-right?
So, does this game have a soul system, or is it something else like 'power cards'?
Edit - t Vincent, I'm almost positive there's a weapon system similar to SotN. I know that you get other weapons besides the whip.

I don't know, but he sure seems angry. I don't know what someone could be so angry about. It does not have the soul system, no.

I never even commented on that picture . . .
:?
oh, well maybe it's not that then.
or maybe he's a psycho.
Probably the latter.
Okay guys, the last boss in this game rocks so hard. Plenty of unlockables, too.
So I preordered this online back when the first PoR thread was made...like October I think? Bankofamerica.com says I got charged for it, which means it's shipped, I believe...not sure. Anyone else that order online gotten charged yet?

GO TEAM VENTURE!
I'm late to the party on the whole pre-order bonus for this one.
Can anyone throw me a link to a distributor that services the EU for this games so awesome pre-order bundle? Major kudos for any help!
I dig long brown hair and blue eyes, what can I say? The skirt and legwear don't hurt any, either.
...wait, what?
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
I hope I get the pre-order bonus with mine.
I'm considering putting it on ebay if they go for anything.

Anyway, yeah, this is gonna kick ass.

my OP had a picture of the pre-order bonus!
*goes to cry in the closet*
Shipping tomorrow, arriving on Wednesday, although there's usually a few places that get it late on the shipping day.
Thanks for the info...

December 12th was the original release date on the EBGames website.
[spoiler:48715dcbf8]OMG screen filling meteor attack![/spoiler:48715dcbf8]
Well it's the 5th now, and it says my order's processing, so...? I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
No idea... Gamestop and Walmart still show shipping today, Best Buy and TRU show next week. -shrug-
I hope it's not delayed... I took the day after release off.
