Castlevania boxart on the boxart

Recently, Amazon.com has been selling a number of DS games at very discounted prices. In fact, I even know someone who lives around the corner from me who bought one at the bargain deal. Why was it so cheap? Here’s one possible reason:

Erm, I must say, it looks as if either it’s blatantly pirated, or whoever at Konami came up with the design for this “Konami’s Best” deal came up with the worst possible idea. I’m actually very picky with my slipcover boxarts…I bought a replacement box on the internet to replace my Metroid Prime box, which had a “FREE WAVEBIRD” label printed right on it, and while Target had Sonic and the Secret Rings before all the other stores I went to, I didn’t buy it because there was a “Target Exclusive Bonus DVD” label printed. If I got this Castlevania box in the mail, someone would be getting a phone call.

    The part that sickens me is that they take a shot of the entire case, and then put it within another case.

    Couldn't they have just added a simple banner to the original art saying "hey we suck at art, but this game's cheap now!"
  • Did you by chance find this in Hong Kong?

    not gonna lie, i think it was a pretty good idea. it's just a "greatest hits" repackaging of the same game, right?
