Hey folks, the peices are falling into place and there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I assure you it has been one bumpy road over the past few years working on this project but I managed to press through with the help of some stand up members of this community. I am very thankful for all their aid along the way in helping me complete one of my childhood dreams. So, thank you from the bottem of my heart.

Now let's talk the sale! First things first, this is a limited edition release of Castlevania: Baleful Sonata. Only 25 limited edition copies will be made, period. The release will be done in two sets of tens with the remaining five to be auctioned off at a later time. The proceeds from the auction will be funding my next project, I am guessing this wont happen until the holidays. Members will be limited to one copy period and it is on a first come first serve basis. I will only be accepting paypal as form of payment and you will have a couple days to send payment once the pre-sale ends or I will give your copy to the next in line (if you are going to be late and have a vaild reason message me, I'm not a dick). You will be paying for shipping, I am guessing it will be 6 bucks in the states, and we will have to figure out how much for over seas shipping. any other questions you may have about the release or the sale please ask away! Now lets take a look at what you'll be getting.

**UPDATE 9/14/15** Good news everyone! All copies of the game have been shipped as of 9/11.

  • One NES cartage of Castlevania: Baleful Sonata (the rom's title screen will state that it's of limited edition).
  • One cardboard packing for the cartage with original art by a talented artist Robert Atkins (http://robertatkins.deviantart.co...) and fan of the series (also marked as limited). 
  • One dust sleeve.
  • One sheet of instructions that will include track listings and a list of those who took part in playtesting the game.
As for those who aren't familiar with this title, here is a quick run down of what to expect with Castlevania: Baleful Sonata and a couple of screen shots! 

      
  • Baleful Sonata is what I envision of what a true sequel may have looked like.
  • The game is challenging yet fair, in the spirit of the original title.
  • Some of your favorite tracks from both Simon's Quest and Dracula's Curse as well as two original tracks by Optomon in place of the original score. 
  • Reimagined stages with a great deal of new pixel art. (as well as some borrowed*)

That's some very solid artwork. Does the artist have a blog or website? I'd love to see more work by them.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. 

The Artwork's from 2011 and done by Robert Atkins and colored by Simon Gough. Both have fantastic galleries on their blogs and are worth checking out.

I'm surprised that since you've decided to make Belmont a Ginger that you didn't request a color change to the artwork to match the game.

I don't want to be that guy, but considering that you didn't link or credit either of the artists, I'd like to confirm that they were both contacted for permission and are being amply compensated for the use of their art.

Sure do, he is a really nice fellow. Lucky to have gotten his permission.
http://robertatkins.deviantart.co... I only contacted Robert and I was allowed to use it free of charge. He just wanted to see the final product. I happened across the artwork on his website an asked if I can use it. That's pretty much it.

An I did credit the artist in the instruction sheet.

Glad to hear it. You might want to shoot the colorist a message as well, though.

I'll take one, last if possible.

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

Not sure if you have already printed out all the boxes but you have grammar/spelling errors on it. Raign should be reign and the word count should be possessive. Meaning that "counts" should be "count's" Also, I believe that since Count is a title that it should be capitalized, so it should be "Count's". Just saying if you haven't printed out the boxes you may wish to correct those things. If the boxes are already printed oh well!
