I think that he looks more like Olrox, actually. Brauner probably hasn't been born yet.

Wish I had the case for Chronicles (PS1) there. I do not. Just happy to have the disc. Also wish I had a black label SOTN. I did back in high school, but something happened to it. I remember a friend borrowing it and scratching it all up. Maybe I had to toss it.

That's the Limited Edition of Lords of Shadows. I don't have that cool Castlevania Double pack Caldwin has. I must have it!

Also really wish I had Dracula X.

Of these I've beaten most of them. The ones I have played but NOT beat are: The three gameboy games. Which is probably no surprise. Lords of Shadows 2, Castlevania Chronicles, Bloodlines and Mirror of Fate.

I technically haven't beaten Judgement, in I haven't beaten all story/arcade modes. Whatever it takes to unlock the Time Reaper as a boss.

Lastly, I wanted to mention this separately. I haven't beaten Curse of Darkness. I want to, but you move so damn slowly... I just couldn't take it. Wide open areas, and you walk at a snails pace it feels.

All the Limited Run Games Ultimate collections for the four games they did. All lit up for the pic. The thing I find weird is the Castlevania collection Shadow Box, and the Castlevania Advanced Shadow Box, the box they are in has a slot cut into the box on the side so you can flip the light on and off and press the button to play music.

The Castlevania Dominus one. Doesn't have that. For whatever reason. (Unless it's supposed to and mine is wrong?)

I have both amiibos because Castlevania.

Then at the bottom we have the three Bloodstained games, because they may as well be Castlevania.

I don't have the anime YET. There is an ultimate collection blu ray that I really want, just haven't grabbed yet. (Hey it's my birthday this week. :p Don't know why the hell you'd get me it though.)

Very jealous of the comics and guide. I don't have anything like that sadly. Oh I do have a cool fanart poster on the wall. I might take a pic of it later.

I'm with Sjogre. I'm fairly certain that's Orlox.

I've owned the Castlevania 64 game A couple times. Both times I got to the part where you're carrying that explosive and die if anything touches you. I kept getting killed by the motorcycle skeletons, so I was just like "screw this."

I do have Symphony of the Night digitally on PS3 as well as the SotN/Rondo collection on PS5. But it's digital, so I don't really count those. I also have the Konomi collections digitally...but again, I don't count digital.

So, nice collection.

*googles Orlox*


Hmm...okay, that's another possibility.

The yellow bubble head woman is Joan of Arc. People played a demo already and they had to beat the Fallen Werewolf, Joan of Arc and Medusa.

That can't be. Orlox is dark skinned with long hair and has a boytoy Mizrak, haha

Google results I saw had a lot of pretty boy, young aristocrat pics and one single pic that looked like that pic on the last page. Sooo...*shrugs*

I can't wait to play this thing. I said earlier, I have it reserved digitally for Switch 2, physically for PS5. I may have to play it on PS5 though just because it lets you do really long video captures...and I definitely want to capture as much Carmilla footage as possible.

Castlevania 64 is one of those games I really like, but I absolutely understand why people hate it. That part with the stupid Nitro just sucks. I've managed to do it quite a few times, but it's not the most fun.

So as you can see, even without the Advance and Dominus Collections, I still have the games. But I still prefer playing them on the bigger screen.

Since a bunch of my games are ones I've bought used, I thought I'd show which ones I actually have the manuals to (in this case because the games were bought new). The Harmony of Dissonance instruction manual has Aria of Sorrow on the flip side. It's the manual that came with the Advance Double Pack.

Simon Belmont Amibo. I never did get the Richter amiibo. I had the opportunity, but honestly, Richter just didn't have the same nostalgia for me as Simon.

Of course, there's the entire Trevor run of the Netflix show. I binged them when I first got them, but haven't really watched it since. I'll have to watch them again some time.

Belmont Legacy comic is the only comic I've been able to find (that's remotely affordable anyway). I thought I had the Dawn of Sorrow Strategy guide, but I guess not. I do have the Portrait of Ruin guide though...for the pictures. And on the far right is an unauthorized retrospective. It has a lot of nice art and info...though many times the info tends to drift into opinion, so I tend to mostly just look at the pretty pictures.

Very nice collections. Wonderful, even. They bring a tear to my eye.

And yet, I can't help but notice something.

There is something significant to the history and cultural relevance of Castlevania that neither of you have... and yet, I do.

I just didn't include them earlier because, strictly speaking, it's not 100% simply Castlevania. Simon is a core character, sure, but it's more about all Nintendo games of the time than it is specifically Castlevania.

Included the Zelda series because I didn't want Link to feel left out.

I had that book as a kid. No idea what happened to it, though. I still vivdly remember the main character talking to Simon about Dracula. I can't remember the context of the discussion, just Simon telling him about how Dracula would flay all the skin frim his body, dip him in acid, pour salt all over his raw nerves, and then start to torture him. Kids' media sure didn't pull their punches quite so much back then...

Hmm, two weeks ahead of release. That's cool! I wonder if it'll be one of those things where progress on the demo transfers to the game.

Konami has released a 40th anniversy version of Castlevania 1 on mobile devices, and atm its free.

Thanks for the heads up. It's nice that they did this and that it's free. But I will say, even on the iPad, the play area is tiny. On the iPhone...I hardly even see it. So, having it already on NES, Switch 2, PS5...I can't imagine putting too much time on mobile.

Still, nice that they made it available on another platform and for free no less.

I seriously couldn't tell -- the image only said four things, and that was one of them, so... XD
