they probably gonna do horizontal and vertical rooms, but what if there's secret background rooms, like where pressing up can enter a doorway in the background to access extra room(s).

I would like to see something like that. Could work like in DoS where you enters a mirror, but instead you enter a door or something else.

yea, even Valkyrie Profile games have stuff like that to add more dimension/size to the exploration.

March 2017 is the old release date. It was pushed back to Early 2018 a little while back.

Also, grats for getting featured in the spotlight, Shiroi!

I read articles like this, and I feel a little bad about the complaints and angst directed at IGA back in the day for things that turned out to be at least partially if not completely out of his control.

For years, Koji Igarashi – known as "IGA" by his fans – was MIA at the storied game publisher Konami. Though he helped create the legendary 1997 classic Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night for PlayStation, he spent the bulk of his next 17 years at Konami working on a seemingly endless procession of mostly handheld variations of the same theme. While stablemate Hideo Kojima pushed for an ever bigger canvas for his epic Metal Gear series, Igarashi – who in person is the very model of humility – plugged away on the franchise he gave birth to.

I wonder if the person of this interview actually did any research on the history of Castlevania. If he did then he should know that IGA never 'gave birth' to the series. He only helped introduce a new dynamic that work for a while, and kept it going longer. But overall it was an interesting read. Some of it anyways.

I think they were trying to make it sound like another Kojima and Inafune, but still; Journalism is trash when you ditch facts for theatrics. You could have easily stated that Igarashi took a then tired franchise, and pioneered new life into by solidifying a new Genre, which is pretty much the truth.

Whooo~! OMG! I'm so happy! One more item from my wishlist is completed.

Regarding the glixel article, there's really no new info listed.

I would say he innovated upon and rethought the franchise. In doing so he opened new directions for the series to go in and reached a wider demographic of gamers.

"Birthed" is a rich term.

Exactly. I much prefer facts over fiction when it comes to news and journalism.

I kinda did. Just not in the way you though    Oh well.
