Castlevania fighter for Wii

[abrader]

Gross. I'd rather have Castlevania 64 on VC than this.

I do hope thats coming soon.

[jiji]

 
 





Really? Really?!

I can't decide whether to laugh or gag.  I'm seriously conflicted here.

[abrader]

they should make a new REAL castlevania game for X360/PS3.

[jiji]

Castlevania: Masters of Teras Kasi

[Joe Molotov]

Or they could just make a REAL Castlevania game for the Wii. There's no reason something like this needs to exist.

[Shuri]

my reaction to this news

[Joe Molotov]

They'd just make another 3D one if they went that route.  Given the game isn't called Metal Gear Whip, they'd be given a five dollar budget and made to use the pre-existing Curse of Darkness engine, and we'd just have another pair of shit pants in our hands.  At least this project isn't tying up Yamane and Kojima, so maybe they're working on something else.

I just want another 2D Castlevania on a console, is that too much to ask? 

[abrader]

2D Castlevania is finished.....

whatever coolness could have been left for future sequels was raped away and wasted on too many GBA/DS games.

[jiji]

Whatever we used to know as Castlevania is dead.

[MCD]

depressing.

[evilromero]

They've fucked up Simon even more than I ever could have imagined. Where is the hyper masculine Simon from the NES covers?

He died with Castlevania Chronicles and Ayami Kojima's reimagining as a red-haired bishie in fur-clothing.

[duckroll]

What the fuck did I just wake up to?

IGA
Konami
Castlevania

Whatever we used to know as Castlevania is dead.

Castlevania died with Circle of the Moon, revived for Dracula X PSP, and now put to rest again.

The annual Metroidvanias have set the bar for the franchise so low.  Metroidvania fans have essentially been playing the same game since 2001.  You can't fault Konami for making this shitty game because for years, people put up with half assed Metroidvanias.

"You can't fault Konami for making a shitty 3D console fighting game, because a small amount of people always bought good 2D portable games!"

Incredible logic, will read again, A+.

I've felt this since Dawn of Sorrow released. It finally hit me that Iga and his crew found their formula (no platforming peril, pathetically weak enemies, bland stage design) and they weren't to be troubled with changing it.

Despite all of this, I kind of feel a fighting game for Castlevania could work but they've already fucked up some of the most cherished characters so my enthusiasm has been shot.

[Crushed]

Death note fruits will eat this shit up. "WHOA I CAN BE LIGHT AND FIGHT MISA!?!?! AWESOME!"

I wonder if Dracula will look like that monster thing.

No, Dracula has metal dog nipples.




Death will probably be the one who looks like Ryuk.  :'(

[abrader]

if they get the music right it could be epic still.

[Rman]

:'(

Year of the fighter, baby.

[Trent Dole]

...the fuck?

[bork]

if they get the music right it could be epic still.

Then you just download the soundtrack and forget about this shit they are trying to pass off as "Castlevania."  

I hope this game is good, I really do.  But all I can do is think about it and  :'( :'( :'( :'( .

[onsedatives]

 

I think I'll stick to the DS games.

You never know! Being Simon Belmont and dodging Dracula's fireball cape, doing a rolling dodge and hitting him with your whip from behind! Trading boomerang cross attacks with Richter and Trevor! Magic and summons! Adventure and excitement!



or just clunky back and forth  :'(

[bork]

Listen, I already played one horrible fighting game with Simon Belmont (and Solid Snake, Optimus Prime, Bomberman, and others) last generation.  Don't need another one!

I can't see most of the pictures at work, but the character design looks terrible.  WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING?

I can't even begin to understand how stuff like this gets the greenlight to be made.

[Crushed]

Yeah, but that was Hudson's horrible attempt at a Smash Bros. clone where you could barely turn around.

Think about it! Jonathan and Charlotte, as tag team char-JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN! CHARLOTTE!

[abrader]

You know that there will be a special guest character from hybrid Heaven right?

[bork]

Wait, there's a fighter where I can be Optimus Prime? Is it 2D?

It's crap, Particle.  The game is crap.

[Joe Molotov]

DreamMix TV World Fighters. It's a Super Smash Bros. Melee ripoff. I imported it for the 'Cube, but it was bad. Played it once, and then went back to the real thing.

[Grecco]

Maria looks like the chick from Deaht Note.

This is like a bad dream. I was soo stoked about a 2D Castlevania on Wii too 

[tiesto]

Fuck, this sucks. I was hoping for a 2D 480p Castlevania on Wii  :'(

[abrader]

ahhh thats right nintendo doods always overrate those metroidvanias - I guess a 2D Wiiware Castlevania would be the total hizzbolla right?

[abrader]

Fuck, this sucks. I was hoping for a 2D 480p Castlevania on Wii  :'(

Just try PSP -> video out -> LCD

[drohne]

i'm not going to say i predicted a castlevania fighting game, but as soon as news leaked of a wii castlevania i knew it was going to be SOMETHING worthless

i knew this because it was on wii

[abrader]

I thought it was gonna be a 3d vania with a Wiimote whip mechanic.

[AdmiralViscen]

The DS games are far from terrible and they only sell like 100k units anyway.

[jiji]

oh look, here's one

[Bloodwake]

I can't believe this game is going to exist

FUCK YOU KONAMI THIS LOOKS LIKE FUCKING HORSESHIT

[Bloodwake]

Konami follows up my pick for best game ever with what could be one of the worst games ever, tanking one of my favorite franchises along with it.

[cool breeze]

Oh.
My.
God.

THAT LOOKS FUCKING AMAZING!

Is there any chance you will ever play the game? If not, keep believing the game is awesome.  Always stay that way.  Someone has to be pure.

And the reason that people hate the Iga Castlevania games is becaus ethey are such huge nerds they feel the need to play each one only to bitch about how they played it before.  I'm sure someone who just picked up PoR as their first game will love it and have nothing to complain about.  They are fun games despite the last of evolution.  This is the reason I didn't really like DoS or PoR, because I am that huge nerd who plays all the games.  Castlevania is one of my favorite game series.  I still think Aria of Sorrow is fantastic.  Harmony sucked horribly, but still.  Circle of the Moon was great also and was the best example of how to merge the platforming aspects of pre-SotN games with what came after.

Dude, they couldn't even get the character art right.

[drohne]

i doubt yamane is working on this. actually she was in mgs4's credits for some reason. i bet konami only makes games which are not metal gear to prevent their less talented staff from somehow working on metal gear

[Positive Touch]

really, the main selling point for the game is to play as characters from a series you like, but what's the point in that if the characters you're playing as look NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINALS?

[Narag]

i doubt yamane is working on this. actually she was in mgs4's credits for some reason. i bet konami only makes games which are not metal gear to prevent their less talented staff from somehow working on metal gear

I actually thought the opposite about the staff. Maybe just the writers in that regard. 

[Sho Nuff]

wow just what i wanted

[Mr. Gundam]

Oh.
My.
God.

Just like the people who have never had the "luxury" of playing the Takara developed Transformers PS2 game from Japan?

I can't believe people willingly pay $40+ for used copies of it on eBay... Ichi sent me a copy of it in his awesome care package last Fall. I'm really glad I was able to see how bad it was for myself, but I'm also glad I didn't have to pay for it.

[cool breeze]

That game has Astrotrain and floating guns! It can't be bad!

[Third]

 

 

[MoxManiac]

This will be lyte's favorite game of all time.

[Enl]

I'm a big fighter and Castlevania fan and I can't even get mildly moist over this. This is fucking stupid. Remixed Castlevania music!?! You don't say! They've never done that before! I'm actually kinda shocked that the first screen doesn't have the characters fight through a room. I'm sure there'll be plenty of that though.

[y2kev]

holy crap 

Castlevania is a dummy project to keep IGA off metal gear

"No, Igarashi-san, that's fine. We only need 400 people on Metal Gear. You can continue with your project. But, if you wanted to be useful, you could tell the janitor he needs to come in tonight to finish the Naomi character model."

[tiesto]

Fuck, this sucks. I was hoping for a 2D 480p Castlevania on Wii  :'(

I only own the old model PSP with no video out

I don't see why people think they're anything better than half assed efforts.

Basically you just throw together a large ass, complicated castle.  Be sure to throw in some backtracking.  If Iga is feeling especially adventurous, make two castles and some kind of city in between them.  Palette swap enemies or barely modify them at best and you have the enemies.  Basically all you have to do is copy Symphony of the Night but make enough minor changes to make it seem like a different game without fucking it up.  Even then, sometimes they can't do that (Harmony of Dissonance)

Having played every single Metroidvania except for the second DS one, you can't be shocked at Castlevania Fighters Wii.  It essentially follows the same half assed formula that made people cream their pants for the handheld CV games.  Maybe if gamers stopped buying their mediocre offerings, this game would have never existed.

i loved Portrait of Ruin till the end of the game where they recycled the 4 portraits (areas) you beat already
