Actual new trailer.

Totally legit this time.

Not really new actually, they just change the music theme for the trailer.

It's the music from the Japanese Castlevania IV commercial.

I played the first Pachislot since it got released for Android and it doesn't focus on smut at all. There's indeed that infamous Angela segment but it's only one out of like twenty. There's also the Succubus boss fight but it isn't anymore explicit than in a normal Castlevania game. The second and third are like that, too. I really don't think this pachinko is going to be any different. The true shameful thing is the marketing editing the trailer in such a way that it's focused on the all the male-gaze stuff.

Eh. I should be more angry about this, I guess. But I'm not. It's just a pachinko game and we've already had three of them. Doesn't mean that's how the series is gonna stay.

Android, you say?  :D

It kinda is, though. That whole mess with Hideo Kojima leaving and Silent Hills getting cancelled was supposed to be due to Konami wanting to switch to an all-pachinko business model.

True. I guess I'm just going to wait and see what happens next with Castlevania after Erotic Violence here.

Is it shameful that I actually kind of would play Bible Black: Castlevania Edition? But maybe that's for another thread entirely. Hehehe. They could call it "Castlevania: AFTER SUNSET".

I'll stop with those jokes now.

I still think that optioning the rights to another company is a wise move at this point. It's not like Castlevania is a huge franchise anymore -- whatever this game makes is gonna be peanuts to what people will give Iga and his partners just out of nostalgia.

Castlevania never was a huge massive earner like Silent Hill or Metal Gear, but it was also a consistent one. Almost every single post-SOTN release made reliable money, which is the strength of finding your fans and staying true to their preferred formula. Did we have gripes? Yes, of course we did. Gamers are impossible to please 100%.

That being said, Konami killed their golden goose with SH, MGS, and CV because those were always going to sell no matter what, but now they won't outside of Japanese arcades, and Castlevania and Metal Gear IN PARTICULAR were always more popular in the West.

You know what? This trailer may have been Konami taking a dig at IGA (they're certainly not above such childishness), but I blame Eric Alvarez for this.
If he hadn't gotten so cocked up and screwed LOS2 over so mightily, the Castlevania name might mean something at Konami still. What an egostical scumbag.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

There's gotta be a reason Konami has greatly sized down its video game divisions: there's money in pachinko. In Japan. And I imagine it's very cheap to produce. Remember, this is gambling we're talking. I don't think Konami cares anymore about their franchises beyond flashing some tits on a screen to get someone to slap a few coins into a machine. Apparently, the changes to the company will make them flourish. It also means their name is mud to gamers but they clearly don't shiv.
Oh yeah, and also:
meat

Soda as well.

Then we can only hope that Konami one day realizes that money will never fill the hole in their soul.

Why don't they lend the franchise to whoever wants it for a fee, like Sega just did with Shenmue 3, simple, effective, even IGA could make a new CV (Not that I want him to).

Everything comes full circle

I'd play it. Do you all honestly take Castlevania so seriously that you wouldn't play a sexed-up version of it? The series has been a parody of itself for almost a decade. What difference do some lovely jubblies make?

Too bad it's just pachinko bullshit, though.

What was the video supposed to be? It doesn't load anything.

For some reason when I put the link then post it, it shows the link twice even after I erase the second link which makes no sense. so I just put the link .

if they're going to have multiple Succubi in this game, they'd better have Lilith in it.
