Topic: Mandatory E3 False Hope Thread.

[Kamirine]

Assuming these are all different announcements...hmm.

Yeah, Konami’s Twitter already has stuff for both games.  So if this is a completely new announcement, it may be something else.  Though after seeing Contra I’m a bit scared...lol.

Curse of the Moon sells like hot cakes on Switch, Netflix Series renewed for Season 3, Simon and Richter make it into Smash... that'll mean... NEW SUBPAR CONTRA GAME. GG Konami ! (Y)

Well, as this is a hope thread at heart, we know that there is much more interest at the moment surrounding Castlevania than Contra, and more importantly so does Konami.  This at the very least makes some kind of Castlevania announcement much more possible.  Or it could just be their Contra equivalent to GoS.

Contra, looks bad, I mean REALLLY bad, shame. as i was playing it the other day. But back on to topic. lets just say what where all thinking why can't it be Umbra of Sorrow , come now  Konami do the decent old boy.

So we are less than an hour away and dare I say it, I feel some butterflies.  I knew that hope would pop up at some point, it does every e3.  I remember following these releases in the heyday from just after SoTN all the way through HD and Rebirth...  and to a lesser extent (for me) LoS.  It's hard to believe it has been so long.  Really hope this is the year.  If not, my thread title was right, so I win anyway lol.  I'm sure I will get optimistic again this time next year as well.  *clears throat* So who's ready for Bloodstained?

Pack it up, kids. TG16-Mini.

I’m laughing and crying at the same time.  Legitimately.

Current mood.

I went in expecting nothing because this is current Konami, and fuck me senseless did they somehow go even lower than the bar I had set for them.

It doesn't even has rondo on it

I admit, when I saw the schedule prior to the announcement, I started to get excited: Contra was shown at 11, PES had it’s own announcement, and Yu-Go-Oh went right before the announcement.  So for a brief moment, I had legit hope.  I literally played that Price is Right loser music in my head as the announcement was made.

At least Bloodstained is next week and I have the CV collection and Cat Game (on that Devolver Bootleg game) to tide me over!  . (WHY KONAMI?!)

JP version does.

[Super Waffle]

It's Contra, and it looks bad.

Why are two of the playable characters messed up looking teddy bears?

Why does the girl have a demon face on her stomach?

"Rogue Corps" doesn't even work as a pun.

[RichterB]

Rogue Corps is ironically headed by the creator of Aliens Wars, Hard Corps, and Neo Contra.

About that non-Castlevania announcement, though...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKECiyIsq3I

First post should be edited to say: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here!"

The future of CV DOES seem to rest with Bloodstained.

Til next week, ya'll...

Theres' still Netflixs' presentation left , could Konami or some other third party studio reveal a tie-in based on the adaptation? This is our last chance !

edit:
i would hate it to be honest so I hope thats not gonna happen tho
