Big Castlevania Bonus

In anticipation of the December release of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin for the Nintendo DS, as well as in celebration of Castlevania's 20th anniversary this year, Konami's sending this dual-screen sequel off in style with one of the coolest pre-ordering bonuses the system has seen so far.

Anyone who pre-orders Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin from GameStop, EB Games, and GameCrazy retail store locations will receive -- free of charge -- a brilliant collectible that will appease even the most minor of Castlevania fans.

The wax-sealed package will feature a 48-page artbook detailing every game in the Castlevania series, a 20th anniversary soundtrack CD that covers the best music of the series, a timeline poster detailing key events and characters in the Castlevania series, a special edition DS Lite Castlevania stylus that extends for comfort, as well as a special game case that allows gamers to keep both Castlevania DS games close in their possession.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin ships in mid-December.
