[SuperDanX]

Whats this? http://www.japan-type.com/boutique.p...stlevania.html
There's a contra one too not that i have a ps2 anymore.

[w?stling]

That's the PS2 port of the arcade Castlevania. There are many other titles in the Oretachi Game Center Series, all ports from arcade games. One of them is Contra as you mentioned.

Thanks, sounds intresting,not for me as i said no ps2 but others may like it.

[Kaladron]

I would love that. Is it an official release? I've never seen or heard of it before.

[Geoff D]

Aye it is - you get some extra stuff in the box as well; from NCSX -

Every copy of the Oretachi game includes seven items
01) Akumajou Dracula Game CD
02) Miniature CD which contains background music and sound effects
03) Miniature DVD which contains developer interview and master play
04) A placard which contains playing rules and holds both mini discs
05) Game trading card with cover artwork and original artwork
06) A thin and flimsy official guide book with game hints and tips
07) Booklet which contains PS2 game info and photos of the original JAMMA pcboard from way back in the day.

Thanks for the info. I've always wanted to play the arcade Castlevania and I know I could do it cheaper through Mame but I like having something tangible. Just ordered.

[Baseley09]

Have fun hehehe.

Prolly worth it for the extras if peeps like CV.

There's a short thread about these releases here, too, if anybody's interested in them: http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/showthread.php?t=44971 also, the series' web site, with a list of all the games they do, is here: http://www.hamster.co.jp/orga/

I'm still waiting for the Castlevania one. For some reason, Play Asia have been "preparing" it for over two weeks now.

[Klatrymadon]

It's an absolutely atrocious game, and I speak as a CV zealot!

You should enjoy the music, mind.

oh man haunted castle. one of the most b@stard hard arcade games ever, makes ghosts n goblins look like a walk in the park!

[Kaladron]

Oh what have I let myself in for? Oh well, I'll be approaching this one through curiosity more than anything else so if it's crap...then so be it.

[JazzFunk]

It's not crap.

[Kaladron]

It's not crap.

Yes! *Punches air triumphantly*

I'm excited again.

[Duddyroar]

If it's a direct port of Haunted Castle then I really, really wouldn't get your hopes up. It's a terrible game.

[Kaladron]

Don't shatter my dreams Duddy. They're all I have, these days.
