Gaming Castlevania Portrait of Ruin pre-order goodies!

[mrekli]

They are including both voice acting sets but... I can't stand Japanese voices for Castlevania. Only one character in the whole series is really Japanese. Everyone else is Either American (not just USA, the continents) or European. Doesn't sound right at all.

 

[Sc4rFac3d]

w00t, goot thing it's japanese. The japanes voices were cool in DoS.

(sorry if this is a little of topic but...) Is the game gonna be wifi enabled?!?!Â

Yes, and from what I heard, it's gonna be 2 player co-op boss rush mode over Wifi, there's even more stuff. But that's the only one I know.

 

[bikingcam]

the shop mode feature looks really cool... theres some stuff about the wi-fi features on www.gamespot.com

 

[jumpman17]

So, any idea on if they actually have any left or not? I hate pre-ordering and I'd hate it even more if I didn't get anything for it.

Anyone in the UK or outside the US manage to pre-order it from GameStop or EBGames? Trying to pre-order for my brother since he's a big Castlevania fan too but the sites won't accept my details... And the bad thing is the bonus pack appears to be an exclusive deal for those sites =/

 

[kelvinate]

anyone know if australia will get it as well?

man, the pack looks so good, I am thinking of ordering it in us.

 

[wohoo]

i'm sure this won't come to europe... but if we're lucky bergsala AB (in sweden) will get their hands on a bunch of them to sell in the nintendo.se shop

 

[NotAgOat]

It also has a real wax seal!

i've downloaded a rar packet songs of this game (11 songs included), best songs are :

025-Portrait_of_Destiny.mp3 (this one is like wow ! one of the best cs song thats been made)
011-Iron_Blue_Intention.mp3 (second best song)

there is also a rmx song of the song from super castlevania 4 (level1)

And a rmx from some castlevania gba song, don't remember which one

Here is the mp3 impression from a site who talks about the music of this game

[asmodeal]

I so want this game, can't wait raaa
Is there any chance to see a dump before the release date, i don't know very well ds dump scene is it something unusual or common.

 

[Bitbyte]

Pure awesomeness.

It's kinda unlikely in the NDS scene to have a pre-release asmodeal, but it'll (hopefully) still be out on launch

. I'm not gonna wait for the EU launch this time around

 

[masvill20]

Heck, I just hope it won't be another Ultimate Spiderman or Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam...But I really hope this game will be as non-linear as Dawn of Sorrow.

longer trailer with another song
new full trailer

 

[meangreenie]

wow

(is all that needs to be said after watching that vid)

 

[tama_mog]

Ordered. Another game I'm looking forward to....now if FF3 US had a special package. Nevertheless pre-ordered that as well. I love it how they always make the opening animation parts look so fluid in the promo videos yet on the DS it never looks anything like that. =P

 

[Elrinth]

very cool with the music man!

I'm sooo freaking looking forward to this game... I have to pre-order it from canada or something... I want the bonus too!

the quality of the music u posted was pretty poor.. I pray that this isn't the quality the ds will output to my ears

Soundtrack is more solid than the gba ones and the latest Nintendo DS game!
Let's hope the environments, character interaction, bosses/monsters, gameplay and story are just as good.

Favourite ones:
* Silent Prison (feels like The Pinnacle from Dawn of Soul except a little bit slower.)
* Jail of Jewels (really nice push in this song. the bass simply rules and the leads OWN)
* Iron Blue Intention (remix of an old tune... The remix isn't as good as the original tbh... But it's definatly a solid tune. The melody is just gorgeous)
* Crucifix Held Close (remix of an old tune... Pretty good one actually... Bass gets boring very fast, but the rest is awesome)
* Bloodlines Bequeathed (remix of an old tune... Really awesome.. The original has MUCH better quality, but this one brings new things to the song which makes it great

)
* Portrait of Destiny (Title music/Intro text music of some kind... It's very good IMO. Reminds of the prior games intro-text music

)
* Thema of Simon (Remix of the SNES music. Actually this one is good, but ALOT worse than the original IMO. The feeling the original brought was tremendous and they removed that

However they added a solo which sounds great! big +)

The less good ones:
* Victorian Fear (has a couple of pretty bad parts in it.. very varying song but doesn't have that adventure mood I want

)
* In Search of the Secret Spell (Egyptian song?

Well has pretty nice leads. But all in all the song isn't that good. It's REALLY nice when the bass climbs really high)
* Overture (horrible

WAY TOO REPEATIVE.. and I think this is a remix of an old tune too, like standard kill dracula song

..)

 

[Elrinth]

oh and here for a better quality of Jail of Jewels (not the whole song tho)

http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/dracula_ds2/g...ryof/sound.html

oh and castlevania dungeon has 4 high quality tracks for download... it's probably the 4 which'll end up on the bonus pre-order music cd. the game tunes have better bass! I love bass

yay

 

[Hypnotoad]

Since the preorder link is still working at EB, I took the plunge and ordered! Hopefully they don't mysteriously run short of goodies and send me just the game in a month.

 

[x_comp]

Just checked up on my pre-order status since someone else wanted me to pre-order a copy for them too. Too bad the link's officially gone from the EBgames now so I can't.

To everyone who pre-ordered... Does your order status only list "Premium, Castlevania POR 20th Anniversary Soundtrack" and not "Bonus Pack"? Just curious because I don't want to end up receiving just the soundtrack after being charged the extra shipping and any customs I'll be paying here

 

[Elrinth]

is there any shop where I can preorder this and it ship with preorder bonus to europe?
