Topic: The first sign rises with the full moon.

CVIII didn't fix CVII, it just hopped on the CV1 design bandwagon, which isn't bad, but it's a waste that CVII format wasn't adopted as its own series.   Like, Mario platformers and Mario party/kart games coexist with each other.   a standard CV series, a Igavania series, and a CVII inspired open world CV series could all coexist, if Metal Gear wasn't eating up all the funds and staff (MGS in fact even terminated the Suikoden series).

but yea anyways, not sure about the netflix Castlevania TV series (or is it a movie?).  some prefer if it went for a more Vampire Hunter D look and atmosphere, though who knows with the ones doing it. 

but even if they did it right, Konami probably wouldn't care to make serious Castlevania games.

so the new TV series has one surviving Belmont.  maybe it's Sonia Belmont?   IGA is no longer with Konami, the netflix people could retcon the canon again just as IGA (and mercurysteam) did.   

but art direction is key of course. but also scripting and all.   well whoever the protagonist is, that very same series is probably going to have their love interest be involved, they gotta restore the Belmont clan and all.   

well anyways Bloodstained's lore is sounding more interesting.  does Miriam have a family name? maybe that's part of the plot surprises.

so there are rumors they are moving it to Switch.

well that really is strange, would the backers be upset with the move?

next build update at E3?

[Kingshango]

Not a rumor, IGA confirmed it.

There will be refunds for those who backed the Wii U version.

[Zargon]

Personally I'm quite happy with the move, although I had backed for the PC version as well as the Wii U version. I had backed for the Wii U version mainly to have a physical copy of some sort, but depending on how good the switch port is, I may actually prefer that version since you can play it in console and handheld mode. Really glad they're auto-updating Wii U backers to Switch, I highly doubt there will be many who will complain about that (and those that have a problem with it can either get it for something else, or get a refund).

It's official:

I think everyone was expecting this, since the Wii U is on the decline and the Switch is rising

I wonder how many people with a Wii U pre-ordered it, given only around 13 million people own Wii U's.

I'm so beyond fucking happy that the vita version is still on!

I'll be playing bloodstained during every break at work.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I'm likewise happy the Vita version is still coming. My Vita has long needed a wake up call and this will be it.

Also the Switch is completely bonkers level awesome, so this was a wise decision.

[Dremn]

Expected, I have a PS4 now so switching versions is not a problem for me

[Castle34hk]

I have a felling all the time this game will come to switch soooooo good, before PS4 version but now SWITCH of course. Portable CV is best;)
