General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Castlevania Advance Collection

I have that doujinshi (as well as others), but I won’t post any scans here because it gets very raunchy

Wasn't it posted on the CV Dungeon website at one point?

That being said, I'd appreciate a high-quality scan of it, m8.

At this point, the word "Castlevania", as an IP, is officially dead. I'd rather let any indie studio's sidescrollers fill the long void instead of checking things related to Konami because every time there's disappointing news it wasn't enough; there tend to be more disappointing news following them later.
Or it's worse, a dead silent, long and sorrowful.

General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Castlevania Bloodlines 0.5 Prototype ROM released!

« Last post by Sindra on August 30, 2021, 02:11:11 PM »

Nope, the guy who had it just decided it was time.

I guess the rom was circulated among private circles for a while prior to the owner of the rom deciding it was time to release it to the public. So there were others who had advanced copies of the rom but just kept it to themselves in order to not burn bridges with the original owner. This is likely how we got the "fixed" version of the rom along with the original version released at the same time.

I actually did a runthrough of all of the differences between the 0.5 beta and the final game build that I could find. I'm sure I missed a few. I also only recently found out the 0.1 beta had already been dumped as well, though it looks like there were a whole lot of significant differences between the 0.1 beta and the 0.5, except for tweaks to the game intro, mechanics and a few unused tunes. The sprite differences remain in 0.5

Had fun there didn't ya 

I did read in an interview that Samus' original suit is apparently reconstituting itself which is why the fusion suit doesn't look like it does in Metroid Fusion.

-update-

Huh. I had no idea that it was still in the works:

'Sorry, no more word on Retro Studios' first-person Metroid Prime sequel just yet. Nintendo and primary developer Retro Studios (who made the previous Prime games) are still "working hard" on the game.

For more info, check out our guide to everything we know about Metroid Prime 4. Spoilers: it ain't all that much.'

The late 90's is when I saw them abound but that store I mentioned has long since closed up shop.

Hey, they're good ideas.

I never collected cards of any kind except for the traditional 52 playing cards. But some of those images look familiar. I'm quite sure one of our gaming stores had some of those.

Unless they had new decks or the Carddass vending machines, they would’ve been used (which some video game stores use to dabble in, particularly back in the mid 90’s.
These were only stocked in a vending machine at one particular Chinese Newsagent where I grew up. 

The cool thing about is they’re rare, the art style although SD is super detailed, they pair nicely with the Street Fighter T.N.C (The New Challengers) statues from Bigboystoys HK and now that they’re becoming more and more rare, their value is increasing.

Okay! Now I have even more questions! Clearly we saw Kraid in there unless it was another of his species since he died several games ago. And that Chozo warrior wearing the same type of power armor as Samus. I really need to get this game...

Pure Speculation:
- Samus will get her powers stripped at the beginning of the game, giving her the Blue Suit
- Chozo Warrior uses those powers and you fight him several times like Nemesis / Girahim
- Chozo guy’s consciousness is linked to The X and Ridley (Neo Ridley was previously destroyed in Fusion, with the Core-X escaping his body on defeat). Since this is apparently

.   concluding the arc between Samus and the Metroids (which started in Zero Mission), the main nemesis has always been Ridley; just as in the Prime games, the main nemesis was the Metroid Prime, who absorbed the Phazon suit, returning as Dark Samus.

- Chozo guy is either their king, the lineage of their God/ king or had to do with raising Samus.

But it’s just a theory…….

I would definitely get a PS4 or Switch copy of ‘Castlevania Advance’ and hopefully ‘Castlevania DS’… Preferably the latter, but either is fine. I actually don’t mind the digital releases to partner with the physical which would be kept sealed.
