Dawn Of Sorrow Box Art Question ??

[Reverend]

I have seen a variety of different box arts for Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and would like to know what each one means. Is one of them the first production run, and one the second? I would really appreciate some help, since Google has failed me yet again.

Not sure but I have the Konami's best version and it's pretty fugly!



Fortunately the spine is mostly unchanged so it doesn't stick out on the shelf like other GH's.

I don't know if it means anything but mine looks like the second one. Mine is EU.

I've seen the Konami's Best version. It's just terrible. Also, I've got the second art too, and I'm in the US. Maybe it was just concept art. Does anyone have the first version?

I'm guessing it's promo art to send to retailers. It's strange that the first one doesn't have the NTR-ACVE-USA on it. These suggests to me that it's either a fake or it's just a mock-up that was sent to e-tailers or even made by the e-tailer themselves.

I've never seen one like the first one in real life so...

Makes sense to me.
