i’ll give it a shot when i FINALY get my new lap top.
the animation for the character looks exactly like Alucards from SOTN and the slide looks just like Ricthers.
Touhouvania = BEAST
stfu sprt
Yeah, I kind of imagined it having a real whip tethered to the machine and you whip the (touch) screen. Of course, that’d be pretty dangerous.
The real question is, is it old school tough as nails jumping brick castlevania or new school leveling up and screen filling axe attack castlevania?
I installed that Touhouvania, but I can’t get it to run. I’m stuck on the config screen, and it says something in Japanese.
My Windows XP is set to English, not XP Japan.
Any help?
They need to do an HD remake of Castlevania Adventure and increase gravity a bit to make it harder. Woo!
I was getting some hype when I first started watching the demo. Then I saw it. Sigh.
Why does this loli shit infest everything? Why is there a little maid girl throwing axes? Why? :shake:
It’s old school style (Rondo of Blood and older), not Metroidvania style. The bosses can be pretty difficult so far, as I’ve gotten stuck on the 5th boss (Patchouli) and gave up after more than an hour of trying to beat the stage/boss. The game is pretty damn tough, and I mean controller breaking NERD RAGE tough.
My only issue with the game so far is that if there’s a bunch of shit on the screen on the screen at once or about to (such as the books being summoned in Patchouli’s stage) can cause the game to lock up, causing dropped inputs. This makes Patchouli’s boss battle wickedly hard since she summons books that cause engine lock up… and she summons three of them at the same time! Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
copy the executable from the CD to the drive you installed the game, then rename it to something in english letters. It’s the red icon in all japanese letters. Then u should be able to run it.
Hey guys.
I’m repping A Bat from Castlevania in the Battle Poll today. If anyone of you are registered, I would appreciate votes or prop help in today’s battle. : D
Has anyone played Rebirth yet? When do we get this in America?

Cannot wait till Lords of Shadow.
Also I do not like Metroidvanias as much as the platformers.
So whatever came out of that alucard teaser trailer with him forming a rapier out of blood
nothing
im pretty sure they scrapped it, since the new game doesnt even use Alucard as a main character
You know… I’ve played all the Castlevania games growing up… I beat I II and III and thought it was some of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. I still get goosebumps when I hear some of the music…
… like this

Fucking amazing, IMO. I also like some of the Heavy Metal Guitar remixes of this song. I don’t know what it is that gets me, but Castlevania music has always been pretty top tier for video games IMO.
IGA is probably working on that Alucard game with some dev team, while some other dev team makes LoS. Who knows, though.
Metroidvania’s are more enjoyable the harder they are, like CotM. One of my favorite Metroidvania’s out of them all, I’ve lost count how many times I’ve played through that game, especially when every time you finish it you get a new mode with completely different stats. I prefer Vampire Hunter mode because it’s the most balanced(you’re good at everything) while Theif mode is funny because you can spam crosses and shit with the ridiculous amount of hearts you get, while that one mode where you have ridiculous strength makes your melee attacks pretty much broken.
CVIV, Rondo, CV1 and 3 are my favorite of the oldschool CV’s. Can’t say I prefer the older CV’s to Metroidvania’s, though.
i think i enjoy non-metroidvanias mainly due to the scenery
i like fighting outside of castles as well, which is never the case in metvanias
playing through CV1, 3 and 4 on my PSP emulators now, just beat DXC a few days ago too
god i realized how much i miss simple platformers, havent touched those in ages…
and hopefully LoS doesnt dissapoint, especially if they dont reboot the entire timeline, it would suck to have to build up a whole new belmont legacy
Its crazy that Kojima is working on it with them though… Castlevania people + Kojima direction = potentially extremely awesome =)
hopefully its not 40 hours of cgi cutscenes…
DARK METAMORPHOSIS!
In the middle of another run of SOTN and still trying to beat Rebirth on hardest setting/normal jump. Great series.
