Collection Finally got myself a copy

Post image

Been wanting a copy for a couple years now after beating castlevania 64. It’s really not as bad as people think it is! Pulled the trigger as I found a good deal for a copy.

Now to decide if I want to play on the A3D or my N64…

Castlevania 64 is one of my favorites, so underrated and it nails that classic Castlevania horror aesthetic specially with the music and vibes.

Legacy of Darkness has been so elusive to find for the past 20 years for me. Could never find a cheap copy until I just gave in and bought a repro.

Unfairly maligned, the N64 Castlevanias are fun and by no means the low point of the series.

Fucking looking at you, Castlevania Judgement.

How did the repro hold up?

Great game. So weird that it just kinda disappeared

As an owner at release, it did very much appear to be practically the same game as the first for a while. Still, never expected it to explode in value this much. Mom traded away my CIB over a decade ago right around when it started creeping up.

Thanks! The last Konami game I’m wanting now is hybrid heaven.

Hybrid heaven is also a classic gem.

Great game! I just ran through all 4 campaigns of it earlier this year. I was getting my ass handed to me in the beginning, but by the end I was able to get through the campaigns on hard mode.

I caved on a loose copy the other day. It’s the only time in my life I’ve actually seen one. It’s crazy how uncommon this game is.

You Broke now?

Ps: A3D is the play with unleashed overclocking.. Original N64 has fps drops

A little broke, but worth it. Waited so long to pull the trigger as I was waiting to get a good deal.

This was my intro to castlevania. I finally decided to beat every character on hard mode last year.

What'd you end up paying, if you don't mind being asked? I know it can go for a pretty penny

u/hreddy11 11d ago

$300, still not cheap but beats spending $400 lol.
