The Castlevania Thread

Uninterested in both, sadly. But SOMETHING has to come out on the damn thing, right? Like a remake of FF6?

SRK has already begun doing this.

oh shi they gave simon and trevor both pants?

SIGN ME UP

sick of loincloth belmonts

-Cave Story and especially Ocarina of Time look great in 3D, can’t confirm if Starfox 64 does though.
-Shinobi is simply one of the best games ever made unless you’re not a fan of insanely difficult platformer/beat’em ups?
-Haven’t played Kid Icarus but everyone in the 3Ds thread loves it?
-Only played the demo of RE Revelations but it tries to mix the atmosphere of 2 with the gameplay of 5 so I’m sure it’s great?
-Mario Kart 7 is by far the best one yet…take that however you will lol.
-Mario 3D Land is a mix Mario3 and SMG, it’s my 4th favorite Mario.
-RC says Ghost Recon good if you like turn based games.
-Tetris Axis and Pushmo are great for puzzle fans.
-SMT remake is on thouhnInnever played it
-MGS 3D if you care lol.
-The kings of 2D made a download title Might Switch Force.
–Mario Tennis got decent reviews
-Contra, Ninja Gaiden, and a bunch of other games coming along eventually.

Overall I love 3DS could be as food as360/ps3 and the best handheld yet if they keep up the platformer love.

I’ve been playing leon A on psp. im definitely gonna transfer my save file and play clair A on the ps3

It’s sad there is nothing in that list that even sounds remotely good.

Fixed. Just curious what games would you like to see on 3DS and what games do you like in general? Sorry to derail anyways to get back on track I only played the demo of LoS it was fun and the atmosphere was great, I heard the game is divided into action, exploration, and platforming so LoS is pretty high on my backlog list:tup:

It’s always nice to hear a new castlevania announcement except that multiplayer one I wasn’t a big fan of it.

Ok now this one is good as in funny and just damn. :lol:

Holy crap, was that Alucard at the end of the g4 trailer? Gabriel looks younger now and more menacing, I love it. Not gonna lie, Dracula actually participating in mass slaughter, they made Dracula an actual force to be reckoned with.

Yea. It’s different seeing Dracula actually go out and put in work, instead of sitting in his chair drinking blood. He fucked all of those dudes up.

Gabriel gonna start recruiting. The Prince of darkness shouldn’t be doing his own dirty work. Seeing Alucard at the end got me hype.

So fucking hype :smiley:

Gotta admit, that trailer WAS pretty hype! Got me thinking about grabbing the first game now.

Try the demo. If the gameplay disagrees with you, YouTube the story bits.

I actually YTed the expansion DLC story content instead of playing it.

Couldn’t find the original post by specs, but that castlevania link sent me to find this

Always nice to find new pics of bengus related capcom work, just gives more hope for the future.

But back to castlevania. I’ve been playing alot of Sotn again lately after hearing some more Michiru Yamane. Still the best game ever. I’ve also been trying to push myself to like HoD, but the camera function is a little distracting and its alot slower than what I was expecting. Still sounds like a great idea though, just have to get used to it some more I guess.

Also, that trailer was amazing! I have never played lords of shadow before, but now I think I might have to.

Yeah I think a walk speed increase makes HoD a bit less of a drag, as has been discussed many times haha

I don’t actually even have a PS3 or anything but I was considering getting one for this and for GGXXAC-R. I played a bit of the demo on my bro’s PS3 one of the last times I saw him and that giant rat or whatever it was near the beginning really pissed me off and I wasn’t terribly impressed by the first couple levels. I dig action games like this, but I’ve also heard that the game doesn’t really pick up until the 3rd or 4th level anyway. I’m sure at some point I’ll get around to snagging it. This seems a lot more interesting than the PS2 vanias.

On a separate note, I’ve decided that I’m finally going to beat Haunted Castle. There’s something about that game that I really like even if it is a bit hamfisted at times. It’s got a bit of that old-school charm to it, and I bet that if the difficulty weren’t so unfair at times and Simon had a better sprite, the game wouldn’t get the hate that it does.

Konami is fucking up. Do they realize how much more money they’d make releasing the 3DS game on PSN/Live/Steam/etc? Or even a disc release bundled with a full version of LoS? Goddamnit, Konami.

LoS is, arguably, the best 3D Castlevania game. I’d say some people would prefer the N64 games or LoI to it, though. Haunted Castle is pretty fun, it was way worth the time and effort I spent downloading 10+ different rom versions of it until I got it to work. The music is great in that game.

Not really. Handheld games are reigning supreme in Japan. Check their sales charts the whole thing is nearly populated with 3DS and PSP games. Konami would be fucking up if Mirror of Fate was a Vita game.

Watching the trailer reminded me that I haven’t brought the DLC for the first game. Anyone know how many hours the DLC adds to the game?
