This reminds me of when POR was first announced. When some news site called Jonathan "David" and claimed the year was 1942.

Ultra lol. Hey, it sounds good but still...
And Iga can't vetoe anything, as if the man had any power, what is he doing by the way? he can probably veto the use of the toilets at night, or something.

[Nagumo]

Oh, right. I keep forgetting you work at Konami.

[Pfil]

Dwayne Belmont.
Nickname included.

[Ahasverus]

Oh, right. I keep forgetting you work at Konami.

Not less than iga does.

[Nagumo]

He's still employed there, though.

Then I need to know where is he, it always burns my heart when a high profile developer goes to obscurity, what happened to Castlevania hero Toru Hagihara? or worse, Masahiro Ueno? Those guys should be in charge of the series now. Perhaps not in a development place, but in a directive positions.

Edit: Well this is surprising, apparently Ueno (director of SCVIV) was in charge of the japanase localization of LoS. Bizarre.
And Hagihara (my favorite, I salute you San) is, well, a senior executive of Konami (Corporate officer).

So perhaps IGA was promoted as well?

Where are Sotaro Toshima and Yasuhiro Ichihashi?

Sotaro Tojima did Halo 4. He's in the big leagues now.

Ichihashi made the pachislots soundtrack (which are awesome) so he's like the only remaining Castlevania only composer out there.

[Pfil]

Good for Sotaro! He deserved to be recognized by everyone.
And I guess that explains why the Pachislot soundtracks are so awesome.
I hope Konami retains him until a new japanese Castlevania is made.
Since Michiru's return is unlikely to happen, Yasuhiro would be perfect for the task.

[Nagumo]

I think the "Who's who in Castlevania" article could use a little update. It's always neat to see people who worked on the series before make a reappearance. Sometimes also a little sad because a lot of great composers/artists only worked on one game.

here's to missing you, soshiro hokkai

Especially now, when I miss them so much.

here's to missing you, soshiro hokkai

I adhere to that!

[Ahasverus]

Eeehhh... HoD soundtrack is the bottom of the barrel of all Cv's... I know hardware limitations have a lot to do with it but the compositions were not impressive at all.

So by history we can say IGA was promoted? every past Castlevania producer is now a senior executive at Konami.
