Anyone going to be picking this game when it comes out on December 5th?

I preordered this game and hope to get that preorder bonus they got. It's a really sweet package. It's a 20th anniversary package free if u preorder the game.

It contain a 48-page artbook detailing every game in the Castlevania series, a 20th anniversary soundtrack CD that covers the best music of the series, a timeline poster detailing key events and characters in the Castlevania series, a special edition DS Lite Castlevania stylus that extends for comfort, as well as a special game case that allows gamers to keep both Castlevania DS games close in their possession.

This is what the preoder bonus looks like

I was so shocked on how incredible the package is. The wind waker preorder bonus was sweet but this tops the deal.

If you want to know the tracklist for the cd it's below in a link to this site

From what I have heard on other game boards of the game from the people who have the japanese version, the game will be fun and filled with secrets. I know some of them but I will not spoil them for us, turtle fans who are going to get it :)

Sounds like the track list covers all the classics from the series. Castlevania has some amazing music.

What I've seen from the game so far looks a little underwhelming. I hope it can live up to the awesomeness that was "Dawn of Sorrow".

Castevania is something I should, by all means, be a fan of, but the few taht I've played I've had a certain amount of trouble getting into. It could be because they were all handheld, and that's sort of an issue I have with handheld games sometimes.

Dude, you are teh suk!

Ahhh, New SMB, Castlevania, Yoshi's Island 2, Super Peach, and now Intelligent Systems has announced Wario: Master of Disguise (Wario Land 5). And a year ago we all thought platformers were a dying breed. I'm a happy camper.

Yes. 2D platforming lives on the ds!!

Castlevania dos rocked and so will this.

I'm not. Platformers still haven't made a real comeback. Yeah, we got Yoshi's Island and NSMB, but that's not good enough. And it's all handheld stuff. The desperation in which I need Banjo Kazooie for 360 is growing larger all the time.

Do you think banjo-kazooie 3 has a chance? Have you seen the other xbox games made by rare like perfect dark and kameo?

I am worried if they will destory the style of banjo-kazooie/tooie on the n64?

Perfect Dark was always crap and Kameo was a good game. Plus Rare just hit a home run with Viva Pinata. Banjo Kazooie will be fine.

Have you even played the games...ooor? Just another one of those people basing opinions on nothing?

I had lots of fun with the original Perfect Dark, I bought that expansion dealy for it. Strangely enough, I barely ever played the Story mode, I pretty much just spent all my time in multiplayer, killin' bots.

Good news my friends.. I phoned ebgames this morning they said they got the bonus in so I went up there and picked it up.

It comes in a nice black dvd case size box. the art book is fantastic with picutres of the artwork from each of the castlevania games..

the stylus pen is great and I have it in my ds lite already and so is the case holds up to 2 ds games.. The time line posted has 2 sides of course and the cd soundtrack is great. 37 tracks. Since it's against the rules, i am not providing any links to download the cd. Sorry dudes. :)

I want this. Bad. Is the only way you can get the bonus through preorder? It doesn't just come as a whole package?

Yes. The package is only given to those who have preordered the game. I preordered my copy back in september. I have heard quite a ton of awesome information on this new game including secret characters and the final battle. :D It will be worth playing this one.
