It looks fuckin GLORIOUS! A 2.5D Metroidvania-type game.... ON CONSOLES!!! Konami, why you be like that? Why you let Capcom beat you to the PUNCH? LOOK AT THAT FUCKIN MAAAAAP! That could be CASTLEVANIA!
Y'know, I love Strider and I'm getting this day one, but I totally hope it does great. Maybe then the chowderheads at Konami will get a clue. I might not be totally happy with everything Capcom has been doing lately, but the reviving of the Duck Tales game via Wayforward(talk about potentially remaking their other Disney games if Duck Tales does well), letting Nintendo include Mega Man in the new Smash Bros game, and THIS! It's like, suddenly, they are actually making GOOD decisions. It's been a while since they did shit like that. What's next, Capcom? A new Breath of Fire game? A new Mega Man game? Keep the goodness coming!!
But yeah, after LoS's concluded, maybe... just maybe .... 1999.... Demon Castle War.... 2.5D.... PS3/X360/PS4/XBONE/PC.... DO IT!
Oh, and don't think you're getting off easily, Nintendo. Wii U... CLASSIC side-scrolling METROID!
