Kinda lame but it could have been worse I guess... I wonder how the manual(s) will be handled.

It's coming out in a little over a week (on the 10th).

 

[Akia]

What did you guys expect really.

 

[mint]

LOL

 

[epmode]

FOTY

 

[LakeEarth]

What did you guys expect really.

A box, with art on it. I leave satisfied.

 

[RevenantKioku]

The candy bar style "Hey buy this tasty snack!" swirly art logo text shit on the top is a bit bizarre, but otherwise it's inoffensive.

 

[jett]

:lol If you mixed disgrace and abomination in a pot, this boxart is what you would get.

 

[Gantz]

Blows my mind that America always get bad box art for games.

 

[Naked Snake]

Have you guys seen the boxarts for other 2-packs? They're horrible... After seeing those and the Dawn of Sorrow boxart I didn't have high hopes for this one at all.

 

[belgurdo]

"Always?"

 

[Gantz]

"Always?"

Yeah seems like it.

 

[RevenantKioku]

What exactly were you people hoping for? New art? Julius and Soma gazing into each other's eyes?

 

[Bartman3010]

I like the box for that ATV/Monster Truck one. Two boxes seperated by a line in the middle. Would've worked out so much better.

Eithre way, I cant really afford the $29.99 price tag, but if it goes down $10 or $15, I'd jump right in.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Man, why did they put that crappy Harmony of Dissonance in there?! Shoulda been CotM!

 

[biggreenmachine]

Do they pack both carts in there or are they both loaded onto 1 cart? Has anyone here every tried to buy HOD? You'll never find it in a store and on Ebay they fetch around $40(boxed) and around $25 for just the cart.

 

[Link316]

this sucks, I gonna hold onto the originals

 

[CompositeMolar]

If your save files are worth that much (or your collector ego) then I guess you better keep them.

 

[icecap]

Did you even look at the damn box art

 

[MrDaravon]

Man, why did they put that crappy Harmony of Dissonance in there?! Shoulda been CotM!

Because CotM sold a bajillion copies and is readily available everywhere?

There was an $10 off coupon from Bestbuy somewhere in this forum for any titles $29.99 & up that expires the end of the month. Been saving the coupon for this title.......

 

[renvi]

2 in 1?
NICE!

 

[ethelred]

2 in 1?
or 2 seperate carts?

Look at the box art... it says right on there, "2 Games on 1 Game Pak."

EDITED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT

 

[Red Scarlet]

I'll take it. Never got the chance to buy either one.

 

[Grug]

I didnt think Harmony of Dissonance was too bad at all.

The soundtrack vomited all over my ear drums, but apart from that, a decent game.

The biggest thing I hated about Harmony of Dissonance was the sprites. Especially Julius', and the horrible trailing effect they tried to carry over from SOTN for him. It looked terrible. Just downright awful.

 

[jarrod]

HoD was pure ass in every respect. The only redeeming quality was playing as Simon in Boss Rush.

 

[RevenantKioku]

The L/R slides in HoD were great. It's problem was a poor castle design and weak music. It definitely controlled much better than CotM. CotM just had a vastly better castle design, which rivals SotN.

 

[dicklaurent]

Holy shit, that's bad.

HoD was pure ass in every respect. The only redeeming quality was playing as Simon in Boss Rush.

Yep, this is the simple truth.

 

[CajoleJuice]

The box art wouldn't be a disgrace if it wasn't for the damn font they chose. Wow.

I gotta pick this up, considering the only Castlevania game I have played is CotM. But I lost the cartridge. Still have the box though...

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

What exactly were you people hoping for? New art? Julius and Soma gazing into each other's eyes?

I'd buy it.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Fantastic games, weak boxart there.

 

[Red Scarlet]

I liked the 2nd gba castlevania last summer.

Ever since hearing about the rumor for the double-pack, I've been holding out on playing the 3rd one. Should be cool.

 

[Naked Snake]

Man, why did they put that crappy Harmony of Dissonance in there?! Shoulda been CotM!

No, because I already have CotM.

 

[Red Scarlet]

I had to rebuy CotM a week ago since it vanished. They had the other two for like $25 and $30 or something. Then the guy said the double pack was coming out.

THANK YOU, GUY.

 

[teepo]

looks like prices on both will go even higher on ebay because of this box art.

as for me, i don't care for such silly shit. thx konami

 

[Lince]

is this coming to Europe??

 

[Sagitario]

Dammit! Apparently it's going to cost $50 where I live >__< ...

In other news... I'm about to finish DoS...

 

[Kakusha]

Dude, you should be hired by American game publishers to do 90% of their boxarts.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Hehe. Poor choice in font, but still A LOT better than the actual one.

awesome from a purely artistic perspective, but i can see why Konami would go with the one they did rather than something like this. Even though its tacky, it really hits you over the head with the idea that you are getting TWO games in one, by having the two seperate portraits and the words DOUBLE PACK in bigass indiana jones style font. I think thats what they are going for.

Awesome.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I didn't even know this was coming out. Will do nicely on the new micro.

Yes, oh yes it will.

 

[CreatureX3]

I can't wait to get this as I haven't played any of the GBA Castlevania games yet.
