And now I want waffles.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm waffles.

Girl at work was getting rid of some assorted kitchen appliances the other day, I now own a waffle maker. I should use it now.

If it was any other game series, I'd be content with cart only - but it's STILL 'Vania, (Parodius-treatment or not,) so...

And...waffles without maple syrup - can they still be considered waffles..?

[ninjainspandex]

I still waffle on whether I consider Kid Dracula to truly be CV... It's the only US game I don't have, personally, but I hunt cart-only so it's much easier for me.

FYI the JP version is much cheaper and the Gameboy if region free.

Yeah I know, but all my other ones are US games. I'm really just a US collector, with a handful of exceptions for exclusives, not just for cheaper ones. If all I want to do is PLAY it, I have an EverdriveGB for that.

But I do appreciate the heads up

I know how you feel. It just makes it an odd duck in your library.
Oddly, I don't have a single JP gameboy game. Not that I'd mind a couple (especially if they were shooters of some kind) just never had the occasion to buy any.

I'm mostly happy with my GB collection. One of the last games I bought was Castlevania Legends (about 2 years ago IIRC) and I'm perfectly fine treating the series as a trilogy on the system.

I just want a Kid Dracula Famicom cart.

ain't no way, son. The series of HG101 books are a must on every shelf.

Where's the 2015 goals thread...

I think I want to make it a goal to tackle most of the non-Metroidvania Castlevania's this year. I've only beaten Super Castlevania IV I believe, though I've cleared out the Metroidvania's.

This is what I'm thinking
- Castlevania 1-3
- Bloodlines
- Dracula X and Rondo of Blood
- Chronicles
