you're awesome for finding this. my routine google news check every day didn't turn this up.
-
Those graphics look intense, even from a camera phone! I can't wait to play this. I wonder which Belmont that is on the title screen?
And that dude's right, we should be getting this for Wii instead of Castlevania: Death Note Edition >:(
-
took me a while to notice, but it looks like stage 1 is a ghost ship.
-
I had seen a video about this game before.
The platform is Wii to my knowledge, and the gameplay style is almost exactly like that of the Soul Caliber series

Completely wrong game, bro. Your talking about judgment, which is more akin to Powerstone than Soul Caliber
-
lol @ n00b
Anyway, great find. This game looks really cool. I hope it comes to Wii someday, they'd be fools not to port it. The graphics do however look a bit too advanced perhaps... they could always downgrade them a little though.
-
Even though I can't clearly see which Belmont that is, when I look at it the only one I can think of is Simon.
-
he looks like a badass version of Richter to me. but probably not.
i wonder what Iga's role in this game is, if any at all.
-
This game is looking awesome!! IGA thinks that it is tired to use the wiimote as a whip, that's why he made the arcade game, because it will be a very short game. But then, what about Judgment? You want get tired swinging the wiimote for hitting your oponent or making combos or you are going just to play every day from 10-30 minutes of the game so that you want get tired? :P I believe that IGA has no excuse for this one!! >:(
Also, even if the pictures are blured, the graphics are looking awesome and i believe that this is how a true 3D future Castlevania game should look!!
-
shits off the chain whip seriously looks interesting id def drop a stack of quaters on this one or even cop it if it came to the wii
-
OMG!!! a real castlevania arcade game!!!! thanks godness!!!!
-
The castle in the background looks great. Very interesting and modern, yet "traditional" castle design.

-
If anything, if or when they do a Wii version, they can always add a few more stages to increase the length, as well as additional modes.
I'm REALLY liking the look of it. It's soooo dark and the atmosphere is creepy. And the castle, it looks like Dracula's Castle(not like the strange castle in CoD, which looked NOTHING like Dracula's Castle).
So, it seems the male character(Player 1) is a Belmont, while the female character(Player 2) is a gun-toting vampire hunter. Hmmmm...
-
The vampire hunter could be Richter, but last time I checked Richter doesn't have buckles on his pants (both the dxc version & sotn art of him). Also he doesn't have rist buckles, but the outfit still resembles Richter's. The art looks like Kojima's.
I'm trying to examine his identity by reading the character select screen, but I could only make out a few words. Vampire Hunter, and.. something "the Holy Whip". As for the girl, I could only make out "Lady". Maybe someone could raise the resolution so we could get some answers!
It's also a possibility that this game has no real story, and we'll just be controlling a nameless Belmont & slay Dracula as usual. But I hope not.
-
Holy!!!!!!!!!!! This games looks so ffreaking awesome (yes with an extra f)i can see this game on the wii but still i wanna try it on the arcade so i can feel as a Belmont.

The article says that you have a choice between a generic "Vampire Hunter" and "Lady Gunner".
-
This is what Judgment should have looked like. Honestly people wouldn't be complaining nearly as much if Ayami was in charge of the art for Judgment.
-
The Vampire Hunter just looks so awesomely rugged in this game. Too bad you can't really see him in action in a game like this.
I don't know why I always think of Cornell whenever I see the Lady Gunner. Oh yeah, now I remember, it's because the way she has her trigger hand curled up in the artwork looks like she should be brandishing claws.
-
Even with a next generation wii, it would be sad to convert an extra wide screen to work on a regular television set.
You've never played Resident Evil 4, have you. Superb graphics, progressive scan capability, wide aspect ratio, and the Wii version has the added benefit of being enhanced for 16:9 TVs. The Wii could very well do this arcade game a great deal of justice. Not sure exactly how the game looks or if it will in fact need to be downgraded for the Wii, but the Wii really is capable of a lot.
-
Why does everybody think it's Richter? Doesn't even really look like him. If anything, it's probably a new Belmont.
-
Yeah, in the cell-phone pictures he doesn't look a whole lot like Richter, more like Simon actually. That's because of the dominant color being more yellowish rather than blue.
However, if you look at the cabinet art and poster art, he looks a lot more like Richter. That art can be found in the original thread for this game:

Castlevania has been getting a lot of busty females lately.
-
Whoot for big-titted women.
-
Sweet. I wonder who the artist is??
I hope that girl's a Belnades :o
-
In Reply To #27
If she was then she wouldn't be using a gun as her weapon.
-
http://www.konami.jp/am/locationtest/dracula_ac/
oo, i hadn't seen the artwork using that color pallette before.
-
I love that new artwork!!
-
well, he does look like julius a bit.
if j were to look like this in the 1999 game, it'd be pretty awesome.
-
In Reply To #29
That outfit looks "awfully modern" to you? Are you kidding me?
-
I agree, it looks no more modern than Kojima's depciton of Trevor.
-
modern enough for me to have those thoughts at the very least, not taking into account anything else.
-
Akumajyo Dracula The Arcade
price 1980000YEN
wow :D
-
$20,000? Wow indeed.
-
Awesome find!
Although I'm sure I'm completely wrong, the idea of a Belmont paired with a "shooting" female character made me think of CV:III, Trevor and Sypha. Her wand could function as a "shooting" weapon. Also there's a pirate ship in CV:III.

This game should definitely be ported soon, Either for Nintendo WII or a Next Gen Console like PS3 or 360 with Special Controls for it included with the game.
This New Castlevania game looks awesome!!
If this game can make it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9s3ZEXeo2A
Then this new one definitely has a high chance to be ported and Rock!!
-
FREAKING AWESOME!! They have to port this to the WII or to the 360 or PS3 with its own whip controller set.
-

"Yeah, I got the whip upgrade. Fuck yeah!"

Yeah dude!! I can't wait for this game to be released, until then for now I'm really anxious to play CV: Judgment.

That location test was in the UK, so we might not have to fly to Japan to play it =)
Unfortunately, the article you posted was quite old (from July).
-
For some reason, I think it says Christopher Belmont in the select screen.
-
Looks pretty cool to me. Also, as I said before, I really like the way the exterior castle looks in this one. That design is about perfect and the shots of it at the end of the bridge before you fight Death look great.
-
I have a strong feeling that 90% of people here in CV dungeon don't play in arcades. :P
I strongly hope for a customization-data card for this.
-
WOW!! That was awesome!! Please Konami port it to the Wii or 360 or PS3 with its own special controls or something. Holy crap that fight with Death was Epic!!
-
Looks awesome. But the whole on rails deal? Meh.
Still is worthy of porting to the Wii or another Next Gen system that can support it. This is only the beginning, one day there will be an action adventure game like this possibly.
-
with the rails, you don't gotta worry about creature stabbing you from behind. it'll turn you if you need to.
-
Does this game have official page?

This is the closest thing to an official page so far I think.

What's a location test?
It appears to be already closed, or ended.
-
In Reply To #56
They take the game, in a completed, or nearly completed state, and send it off to select arcades. They let people play it, comment on it, see how much interest is generated, etc.
-
Weird no one has posted more videos of the game. When is it that it comes out?
-
http://www.gpara.com/article/cms_show.php?c_id=11210&c_num=14
So there's these screenshots here and they're like screenshots.
-
Man, all I can say is it's about damn time. The moment I saw an arcade machine with a samurai sword plugged into it in Japan, I knew a Castlevania game couldn't be far behind.
-
This game looks AWESOME! I really hope they figure out some way to bring it to a home system. If it were released on the Wii, I might actually consider buying one. :o
-
In Reply To #61
The artwork for the character in the top left looks possesses or like he's about to turn into a vampire Castlevania 64 style.
-
I'm looking forward to this game possibly going Wii.
-
It'd be perfect for Wii, control wise. Hopefully they'll get the graphics close as well if it happens. I wonder if Konami had a Wii port in mind when they made it.
-
The graphics are waaaaay to advanced for the Wii though. I hope it comes to PS3 or 360 instead, with some special wiimote-like controller. Unlikely, I know.. but it would be rather sweet. But yeah, a watered down port for the Wii is the next best thing. As long as we get to play it at home. The screenshots are sweeeet!
-
The lighting and graphics are BEAUTIFUL. Here's hoping Konami puts that much care and dedication to the next PS3/X360 CV game.
-
They could release it for the PS3 bundled with a custom whip-cord controller similar to the one already in use, just like they did for Time Crisis 4 (however that game sucked). As stated above the graphics look too good for the Wii, they'd have to bring it down a notch quality-wise *coughcallofdutycough*.
I would like to know IGA's thoughts on this project!
-
What good graphics! If this was ported to the Wii like he said while maintaining these graphics, that would be a very impressive feat on Wii's part. It wouldn't suprise me however seeing how good some of Wii's games look ("The Conduit", "Madworld", and "Deadly Creatures" in particular)
-
The Wii's not very powerful graphically, but if this game's graphics run on an engine as effective as Valve's Source engine, then it could very well be pulled off on the Wii.
That's highly unlikely, however. Though I woldn't terribly mind a slight graphical downgrade to play it on my Wii.
-
They've updated. There's a site now with a preview video. It kicks ass.

Man, this is starting to look more awesome by the second! I hope the Student Union here decides to buy one of these...

Hello This may be my first post but I have the trailer here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2-QGJT1YJw. hope you enjoyed it, I did!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Sweet video!! Now all we need is for this game to somehow make it's way to the states-_-
-
This looks so awesome! We need a console release of this so bad!
-
Wow, it's coming along nicely; I'm honestly excited for this... but again it will never come out around my neck of the woods.
-
That was very nice!! It's a shame that i will not have the chance to try it!! :P
-
Apparently the machine used in the UK location test kept getting damaged, and if it keeps getting damaged in further tests, the EU release will be cut according to a comment on the video I posted. :( :(

The Belmont could be Julius :O

Too ugly to be Julius.

I ripped the song from the trailer. You can get it here:

... I tried to loop it every which way, but it's just not going to work due to the way it's composed.
So it's short, but definitely sweet.
-
Thanks a lot!
There is a problem with IGA... He has INFLUENZA so he's in quarentine, can you believe it? give a watch in his blog. Ah, and Konami hired someone to replace him by these days, i hope the new guy has many new ideas and good!
-
Too ugly to be Julius.
You think Julius is handsome? =p

Shiiit... I hope the poor guy gets well soon.
I like the male protagonist. It's a nice change from generic pretty boys (as was Shanoa, but I like the Belmonts).

Official site update, how to play the game, stages and subweapons site here: http://www.konami.jp/products/dracula_ac/info.html can someone please rip or post the individual character artworks as I can't find them anywhere.
-
So now the mystery Belmont's name is "Vampire Hunter"? How fucking unoriginal.
I hope the names get updated...
-
How about Lamont Belmont and Abernathy :D
-
I see that Lady Gunner's subweapons appear to be special bullets and perhaps a magical scroll (I can't really tell what that is).

I don't see what's so bad about an arcade CV, since it's been in arcades before...

Yeah but most fans won't get to play it anyway... wha happen to the lion man??

Looks like the game's getting released in Japan this week.

On topic, I hope this does make it stateside. This looks positively amazing... Though I have no clue why the White Dragon is a boss...

The White Dragon has been a boss before, in Haunted Castle (free roaming like Quetzelcoatl) and Castlevania 64 (where they're bound to a pole)

But can the Wii handle it?
-
I believe just a form of it would suffice.
-
In Reply To #106
Probably not, but they could always downgrade the graphics a bit. I'm thinking Umbrella Chronicles or something like that. The gameplay is what matters anyway and it looks like this Arcadevania was made with the Wii in mind. I refuse to believe Konami won't be porting it VERY soon. I'm usually wrong though.... :-\
-
They have an interesting update to the Arcade game.
They have added a new playable character "Little Witch".
-
This is getting more and more better!!
-
Yes, we need this game stateside now!
-
I don't get it. I thought they already released this game in Japan. But I haven't seen streams of videos of it on youtube and they keep adding things to the website. What's going on?
-
Maybe they released demo machines or something. Just to see how well it did. Thats what they did with Street Fighter 4, have a few machines, then when they released some more add more to it.
-
I don't get it.
-
Graphically, this game is just beautiful. The lookout tower level really looks incredible.
-
I'm wondering if they're going to release one more character for a total of 4, then make an announcement for a Wii port. 4 Player Castlevania Arcade game would be too perfect, and with all this work going into it, it would be a shame not to port it. I'd be so much more successful
-
That begs the question, what type of character would you like to see added to the game?
-
In Reply To #117
Well I'm always in favor of seeing more Axe Knights as playable characters!
We've got a whip, a gun, and a magic using character already. I don't know what else they could do for a longer ranged weapon, but my guess, if there is going to be another character it'll probably be a mysterious-like guy who uses a sword, like Alucard, or a big hulking guy. Thats what I'm expecting to see

Yes, let's leave it up to MYSTERIOUS GIRL to save us from the armies of darkness with her MAIN WEAPON.
And I thought the series was getting less generic since Portrait of Ruin.

Sigh, I just want to whip...

With E3 coming up and the promise of big announcements, what do you think the chances of some Arcade news coming out? Such as a wii edition??

If any of you have access to Nico Nico Douga, there're already plenty of gameplay videos uploaded by Jpn players. The Little Witch's ending involves a relationship with another Konami game: Tokimeki Memorial, even the music is taken from it. It looks ridiculously funny.

Aren't those the same videos on niconico?
If not, could you tell me what songs play on each levels or try to capture footage when the building has less people or ask if they could turn the volume up?
All the videos no niconico have too much background noise.

Forget it. The one he's uploaded are the same videos on niconico.

How will you be able to rip the music? I can't wait for that!

I'm going to try and rip the music with tools like Soundtrack Pro or something else that can take away background noise. Ripping the music should then be a piece of cake.
