Topic: 19-Disk Castlevania Soundtrack Collection

[Little Dracula]

The package is horrible and the track list.... 2CD soundtracks gone.

[ReyVGM]

Sigh... still no Castlevania Dracula X (SFC) soundtrack.

[e105beta]

Because, supposedly, it's just the Rondo track but worse.

[ReyVGM]

Not true. The best thing Dracula X (SNES) has is the soundtrack. I even prefer some of the SNES tracks over the PCE originals.

In addition, the SNES version has several new songs that weren't featured on the PCE original.

The Pre-Battle ominous tune is better than the Rondo PCE-Chiptune one (too bad it's only used in the first stage).
DraculaXX has an introductory tune, while Rondo has the German movie-style anime intro.
DraculaXX has the map tune in Pipe Organ (you hear it in Rebirth as well), there isn't one for Rondo (it uses the same as the file selector)
DraculaXX's "Opposing (Divine) Bloodlines" is a bit catchier than the Rondo version (opinion)
DraculaXX has a little jingle when you rescue Maria (Rondo has a cutscene)
DraculaXX has a different ending tune than March of the Holy Man.

I think I got everything.

The Game Over tune is different too.

So what all is included in that box? I can't read Japanamese.

Neat.

Can US residents order from Konami Style? And if so, HOW THE HELL DO I BUY THE BIG BUNDLE? Argh. :o

I'm really looking forward to when someone finds this and is able to rip some of the Arcade music, considering we haven't been able to enjoy it without obnoxious background noise yet.

I wonder what kind of music "The Medal" has?  I thought they just use DXC BGM,  but maybe they have something interesting to offer, perhaps from the song collection feature.

Alas, for the simple reason that it wasn't created in Japan, we won't be getting an Order of Shadows OST, probably never ever will. 

[Kamirine]

I'll upload the music when I get it. I usually do. I was just going to ask which soundtracks people wanted me to upload (cause most of it people already have or should be able to get already).

[ReyVGM]

Well, assuming the CDs aren't just reprints of other soundtracks, then all of them. If they are just reprints, then I would like the disks that contain the games that never had a soundtracks. For example, Vampire Killer MSX, Castlevania Legends, Castlevania The Arcade, The Medal, etc.

I'm still pissed that Dracula X is not there, but oh well, watcha gonna do.

[Abnormal Freak]

Hey Kam, when ya get it, be sure to rip in high quality. ;)

Though I'm really hoping to be able to get my own copy.

[Reinhart77]

well, considering that some OSTs took up 2 discs and now only take up 1, and other games are matched up with different games that they did during their original soundtrack, it's clear this won't be just a reprint of everything.  it's not clear if there will be original recordings of the individual songs though.  i wonder how "complete" the sound tracks will be.  i hope all the stage background music is at least still present, they can get rid of the cut scene tracks in order to save space.  i hope they don't shorten the tracks, or pack more than one song in a track.

[ReyVGM]

or pack more than one song in a track.

I hate when they do that.
