So it's a one on one adventure game with competitors. Not a fighter.

Okay, was SotN the last videogame that Iga ever laid eyes on? My God, this E3 is just bonkers.

This is the first E3 that has shown me more shit that makes me never want to pick up a video game again than reasons to go buy more.

This game looks pretty good in motion (not graphically).  Footage on gamespot made it look interesting.  And Iga makes sense.  It isn't a fighting game, according to Iga, because fighting games require precise timing and movement.  Iga considers this an action versus game.  His stance on the Smash Bros series is also fairly obvious.

It makes sense.  I mean, we don't consider Fight Night a "fighting game", yet it has two people fighting each other.  Same with wrestling and same with other types also.

You see, putting this pistol into my mouth and pulling the trigger is NOT shooting myself in the head. It's a celebration of suicide's history in a method that is quick to point and shoot and a real treat for fans of killing themselves.

Iga's about to show this game at Konami's conference.

He is wearing an awesome hat.  :whip

That's not the issue here.

The issue is that shitty Castlevania game for the Wii fucking sucks.

It didn't look that bad to me. A tad mediocre, and the art doesn't match at all, but it didn't seem like a "shitty fucking sucks" game.

I thought it looked pretty great actually, but I am a whore for arena fighters.

So it's an animu fighter with a Castlevania skin. For short attention spans.

Alternately, it's Castlevania PS2: The Fighting.

Why is Simon fighting Maria?

Shiokawa/Takahashi/Arakawa/Nomura say the same about Dissidia actually.

Watching the walkthrough of this game in the Konami conference makes it look awesome.  Outside of the horrible character designs, this game looks like it will be great.

I'm buying this for sure.
