So Marto, did you prefer the Original Mode, or the Arranged?

I liked them both, but:

Obviously, due to my EXTREME bias, I enjoyed the Arrange one perhaps a bit more than the original due to the Kojima design.

However, the original one gave me the nostalgic value that I was looking for when purchasing the game. The arrange mode had many new differences and was its own thing in my eyes.

So, I guess I'll go with the Arranged mode. Simon really did look badass. He himself looked like a villain actually.

And what about you Azmodan?

Oh, Arranged definitly. Set to Hard and 1 life for the post-SotN experience with the pre-SotN difficulty.

I'm guessing you've heard of the Castlevania anime. Do you like the mixed style they're using for the advertisement? It seems like an eloquent mix of Kojima's soft gothic take, mixed with the macho physique and more barbaric outfitting of the original Castlevanias.


Oh, and I was playing LoI minutes before getting CC, and trust me, that was a change of difficulty alright!

I want to get chronicles but it just seems too hard to get. Everyone on ebay is selling it for waaaaaaaaaay too much and I have no money. If i ever get $40-$50, should I buy it?

Love the Japanese version (which I unfortunately don't legally own), a true version of ADX68000 and a wonderful remake as well.

But the US version is garbage, besides the exclusive IGA interview. They changed the original game too much. Subweapons not breaking blocks and the removal of Japanese voices (the Tower of Dolls will never be the same). They should've left the localization for the remake only.

CVfan13, you should not use eBay for it. Instead, go to Amazon.com, and buy it from there. You can get it for $47, used, and it's very safe to shop from there. That's where I got mine. That, and it gives you a description of the condition of the item next to its price. (or below it...)

Here, I'll even give you the link.

That, or you can get a new one for $129.99 
( I was going to do that...)

Still, here you go, and I definitely recommend it more-so than any other site out there!

There's also craigslist.com, but I don't know how reliable that can be.

Lol, as much as I love Chronicles, $129.99 is way too much to pay for ANY game in my book!

  At the end, that's what I felt about it too. Fifty wasn't though! Now, 80 would have been probably near the limit of what I'd pay for it...

Thanks for the advice, but I use ebay all the time for games and never have any problems, but if you think amazon.com is good than I trust it.

My dad sells stuff on craigslist and its pretty good, but unfortunately, I haven't seen any games on it.

Nice. Luckilly I got my friends Chronicles for free, he bought his old PS1 just for that game and didn't like it for it's the oldschool Castlevania style. Though he loves all the DS and GBA Castlevanias and SOTN.
