How is the Saturn game?

[Rogue]

heh,
because CV:SotN is one of the best freaking games ever to be made!

You have just earned major brownie points in my book.

"What is a man?  A miserable little pile of secrets." XD

Someone stole my original copy of sotn so I went out , looked at local stores, kept looking, drove an hour away to nashville and found it used for $50 and bought it. Lament of Innocence may be good but nothing even in the Castlevania series can touch sotn. BTW have you seen the little comic that came with the original japanese release? Priceless.

[Rogue]

Someone stole it?  Not cool.  A move like that calls for immediate hurtage.

I actually haven't seen it.  I'll have to find it somewhere.  If I can, I'll try and get my hands on the Saturn version.  It may be in Japanese, but it's the complete game since a playable Maria and two areas weren't in the PlayStation port.  The Saturn port did come out later, but it would be nice to play it at least once.

Yeah, happened while I was in highschool. One of my brother's friends (I am pretty sure). 

Heres a crappy link to a page with scans. They're not the good quality scans that I saw. Dont know where that page went to, cant seem to find it anywhere. http://members.tripod.com/Castlevania_X/manga_e.html
Hey you can go to an area they never completed in the saturn one right off by running out the bridge door (hard as crap). The underground gardens. Not much but they have a save spot there. (When you run out of the drawbridge you fall right into this little space. Interesting but ehhh... would have been cool if they had completed it.)

I've heard it's better than the SNES game--which I have played and have a few complaints about (like annoying music and NOT ENOUGH FERIO!). It's rather easy to find the Saturn MKR game on eBay, sometimes for really cheap, so...

That is so not cool.  I can't even believe that.

Nice find.  The manga looks fairly cheesy which adds to the awesomeness of the game.

You can do that in the PSX version as Richter.  I've never done it, but that's ok.  But here's the funny thing about all of this.  The Saturn version had the extra areas the PlayStation version didn't have and yet...the PlayStation version was made first.  I always thought it was the other way around, but it wasn't the case.

And if you're interested in these areas, the Underground Gardens and the Cursed Prison, http://www.quebecgamers.com/impressions/dracula_x/index.html has videos of them.  It has both the normal and inverted areas not to mention footage of Maria as a playable character.  The site is in French (Quebec), but all of the stuff is at the bottom of the page.

I believe it is better than the SNES title.  For what it's worth, finding it on eBay is the way to go, but you'll pay a higher price for a copy that's in better condition.

Awesome. I've never seen shots with Maria as playable.  I didnt know you could fully access them in saturn. Heck I just learned they release sotn for xbox360. I wonder if its the saturn or playstation version and if you can access those places? humm...

I've got it on my XBox 360.  It's the PlayStation version.

I do have the Sega Saturn console *feeling old school* but aww.. I don't have the MKR game! I want it! :< I wonder where could I buy it..

Ebay is your friend.

Anyway, someday I will play this game, but I haven't even gotten through the Sega Gamegear game, given my Japanses ability sucks and is getting worse.  And I can't seem to make myself get through the NES rom either.

Eep! I have never tried Ebay before..

I searched for MKR game and found some sellers but the prices are skyhigh, like 150$ 


Ok. I found the SNES game from Internet. Yay : D I love it. I've also played Sailor Moon SNES game called "Another Story" and I find it very similar to this MKR game.

A little late...by what 5 months?

It just takes a lot of time finding an available copy.  Chances are if you can find someone with a decent copy and a buy it now option, jump on it.  I did and got a pristine copy of the Sega Saturn MKR game.  I also got a copy of Dragon Force the same way.

I just checked eBay and there aren't any US copies being auctioned off.

Wasn't sure if I should bump this thread up or start a new one...so I bumped it...obviously.

I was thinking about doing a play-through of the Saturn MKR game.  It's been a long time since I played it and got 100% on it.  Been wanting to replay it.  The question I should ask is if you all would want to watch it live or watch it on YouTube?

The problem with watching it live is that I could go live when you aren't available to watch.  The problem with watching it on YouTube is waiting for me to make a video recording and posting it.

So I pose this to anyone that is interested.  Live or YouTube?

[Somariel]

YouTube, please.

*raises the hand of a person living in a very different timezone with moderate-on-occasions internet access* I like the youtube idea! XD

I don't have a saturn (and I'm meant to be ~saving my arm~ or whatever) so I'd love to see it played through~
