Yay?
I make sure to upload some videos as soon as they pop up at Nico Nico Douga. Although this might not be so exciting news I'm still glad this thing comes out. Proves that Japanese Castlevania is not dead.
-
Kiyuhito posted some magazine scans on his wiki blog:
http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Kiyuhito/Pachi-Slot:_Akumajo_Dracula_II
Characters confirmed are:
Trevor
Dracula
Zead
Succubus
A new female character with a tattoo on her shoulder (could it be a glyph!?? it appears in one image, but not another)
Angela
I'm expecting this to be provide a great treasure trove of artwork and videos like the last one, even if I can't play it and it's not a "real" Castlevania game.
-
Dracula got his own dancing Angela now. That will show Trevor.
-
Newcomer is Dark Angela? lol
Issac was dismissed?
-
Trevor appears to be protecting the Succubus from Dracula. I wonder why??
I took a guess and added "2" to Pachislot's official web page address and sure enough found a home page for the new game. It appears to be a simple page with a date on it. Does anyone know what date that says? I wonder if it's the release data or the date they'll make a "real" web page for it?

I think. Two Succubus are pinioning Trevor.

A trailer will be exhibited 15 days later.
-
cool, thanks. what do you mean by "pinioning"? fighting over him?
-

hagai jime. The right and left image is not necessarily continuous.
Information is still insufficient now.
-
oh right. it still "appeared" that way at first glance. but yeah. he could be defending her against another vampire hunter for some reason. maybe he is under her spell and believes she is someone else? its fun to just speculate.
-
what's with the wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen?
-
someone posted on the wiki that the new character was "Amelia Danasty" and was Grant's sister according to the article. wow. if we know that much already about her, maybe they'll actually put a little story into this one. it's bugged me that all i can do is speculate about who Angela is or what time period these games take place in (is it even a non-canon sequel to Curse of Darkness or is it just a rewrite of everything?) I wonder if my speculation about Angela being Sypha's sister (assuming she had any sisters or cousins even that survived the family massacre somehow) turns to be true. Of course, considering how much Angela and Amelia look alike, she might just as well be Grant's sister as well.
-
Proves that Japanese Castlevania is not dead.
Yeah! Another silly spin-off with zero seriousness and relevance! With the most ridiculous things from japanease culture (Dark porn dancers FTW) and a way to poke at the saga that once was majestuous!
That's what I call a living saga!

Gambling is pretty big in Japan. Those pachislots games are probably little goldmines for Konami.

Dont know who the chick in the red outfit with the tat is but i would totally hit that......so hard only the true king of england could get me out.

Yeah I do think you are correct there sir
-
So palette swap + sideboob redesign of an existing character (http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Angela) = New character in the Pachi-Slot subseries?
What is this, Castlevania as envisioned by Hisashi Hirai? Simon's designs are more diverse than that, and he's supposed to be the same character.
-

Sounds so wrong when a poster wants to do the the Denasty with a family member of the Danasty family.
-
Kiyuhito added a new image with Dullahan and a Wyvern. The Wyvern fight looks rather adventurous. He was not able to confirm "Amelia Danasty" as the new character's name with his sources. Anyone know if that's true?

It's really nice that KOnami has started up some Castlevania Pachi-Slot business besides creating games and Pachi-Slot is really a big business in japan. I really concern how the characters are linked to the background story. The girl with a tattoo looks GREAT and I want to have a try on the machine to experience how different battle scenes can be made. Anyway I'll watch the trailer first.
-
Well, Pachinkos never (or rarely but most likely never) have any story at all. The first Pachislot game was just a few random cinematics thrown together. From what I heard, the characters and the little cutscenes are only there to attract players.
-
they should release a companion manga to go along with these :D
i wonder how long it will be before i can play a Castlevania themed slot or video poker game in the states? does Konami make gambling machines for the US market?
-

Konami does have a gaming segment in the US, I see the office every time I fly into Vegas. They don't make video game themed machines for the US however. I suppose in the US most of the slot machine players are old and could care less about Castlevania.
The last time I was in Vegas I saw a Konami machine that was Panda themed. Stupid pandas.

Konami should realize that castlevania themed machines can be a feasible and profitable business and will make some for the US.
-
Pachislot machines wouldn't do well in the west unless they were to become widespread in casino's. Arcades have a hard enough time trying to survive to begin with in countries like the US. Pachinko machine's are such an odd commodity, that many westerners would fine them bizarre.

I haven't heard anything about a home version of the game, unless you are talking about the cell phone download?
That picture is the cover of one (of two) promotional "booklets" given to proprietors. The first one (the picture you're showing) answers questions about Castlvania, shows the tie-ins like OoE and the Movie that was supposed to come out, and basically tries to talk up the sales qualities of the pachi game and the people who made it. The second booklet deals with how the game works. It shows some of the bonuses in the game, different pictures, and pathways players take when they play. Ironically there is also another picture at the end of this booklet trying to tie it into the Movie that apparently will never come out.
-
What kind of picture? Now I'm curious. :-X

Boy, Trevor better believe that the Succubus is really Sypha in this scene or some other plausible excuse. I suppose blow-kissing has been one of the Succubus's main attacks lately, interesting.
-

It's nothing that great. They just use that first movie poster to try and tie-in to it.

yes if you search carefully there are a ton of image tie ins with the pachi thing. But it turnso ut to be a seperate, though somehwow connected merchendise to the procuts. they even have a CD. But since I'm no good with reading Japanese, I can't really translate the images.

Julia is set to make an appearance. New countdown on web page says 182:16:50 (182 hours = 7.5 days) with art of Dracula. Man, that takes a "long" time to load for just having a countdown. There must be a lot of things loading on there they just don't give you a link to yet.

HECTOR
PLEASE

what's funny is i thought that new girl WAS a feminized Hector at first glance (the image on the right by Trevor, not the one on the left).
while we're at it, they might as well throw in Joachim.

So Angela can just materialize out of nowhere to help Trevor now?
Or could she always do that?

There are no official sources, so it's unknown.
I think, that's Ralph's "memory".
but, delusion is free.
-
Man, Trevor is so fucking awesome! The only things I dislike about this, besides it's not for a normal console game, it takes too much inspiration from Curse of Darkness and it appears that Trevor is killed in battle by Dracula, needing Sypha to resurrect him.
Also, is this both a retelling of the first pachi slot as well as a sequel?
-
ha, its been a while since we've seen Dullahan play the Headless Horseman role. sweet.
hey, what do you think the chances are the new girl is Carmilla? her weapons seem a lot like Carmilla's in Judgment? Or maybe Angela was turned into a vampire and now fights remarkably like Carmilla?
-
Such a shame how nice this game looks, but it's not a main console Castlevania game. I'm getting some very nice snapshots from the trailer though, and the new girl is pretty hot.
-
Looks like the new girl is called "D. A." That's funny because that works for both "Dark Angela" and "Amelia Danasty". I wonder if it'll turn out to be one or both of those names.

well, she's got tight clothes about to burst off her, that will likely win a couple of fans over.

I like that all this effort and character design is going into what is essentially a damn digital slot machine.
Oh wait, no I don't.
-
I think they're awful character designs that don't fit in with Curse of Darkness at all. Of course, I wouldn't want them using Julia as fanservice, nor would I want good character designs wasted in a slot machine game.
Yeah, I wish all this budget was going into a real Castlevania game.
-

Isaac.
The counterargument to anyone whining about how half-naked women don't fit CoD's art direction will always be Isaac. If I have to see that jackass's 3D-rendered pubic area, there better be some boobies and vahoohoos to make up for it.
-
oops, double-post.
-
lol, I think that was the general art direction with the antagonists in Curse of Darkness. All the good guys are fully clothed, and the villains tend to show more skin.
Men, I remember when I first saw Isaac's art concept. I was like "What!? Why are his pants falling off. I feel threatened, like he he's going to start pulling weapons out of that gap in his exposed pants."

Well, Angela and new girl kinda have clothing that don't fit CoD you know~
I mean they can still be half-naked, it's just that their clothes don't seem... Kojima-ish I guess?
...course by extension, being kojima-ish probably means they'd be fully clothed unless they're a succubus
oh and there's how they have awkwardly long torsos, which somehow irks me more than small heads and giraffe necks.

Don't talk shit about Isaac! :( :(

This.
Sexual curiosity and promiscuity go hand in hand with the dark arts and not being a follower of god. So, it makes sense the bad girls are showing some skin, and to a much less pleasant extent, the bad guys.
-
Bad Wolf, this is so very true. And yes character depcition is also up to the artists'.
D.A. seems like an alternate to Shanoa for some reason. But if she was a "glyph" user, maybe she's Shanoa's grandmother?
Hopefully we'll find out more soon, this new "side-story" sounds even more interesting.
-
Kiyuhito indicated that D. A. is Angela being controlled by Dracula through a jewel on her neck. He also posted a YouTube video where it shows Trevor calling her Angela. (and I must say, the Succubus is really getting into character in this game, yikes)

and so you don't have to go to the website to see the video, here's the promo

Does this pachislot also include the cutscenes from the first? I believe that stairway scene is the same. The Throne Room seems different but I'm not sure.

The conversation of Pachi-Slot is almost insignificant.
Saint Germain : The destiny is interesting. I feel your new destiny.

Yeah but its still interesting to know what they say even though it is unimportant. :P
-
Sorry. I'm ignorant of English. The translation is heavy labor.
Angela : I feel light of hope. Don't give up. wait for a favorable chance.
(free translation : Please give more coins to me!)
-
I never liked Saint Germain's design all that much. There is something about his design that just bugs me. It might be because of that silly cutscene which has his floating head talking to Hector...
-
It looks like once you break Dracula's control and Angela goes back to the wacky splitscreen dancer-healer role she had in the first game, her costume change stays.

This somehow fascinates me.

must be a pain for her to run around in those super leather short shorts riding up her butt.

For me, "fascinate" might not be the correct word.

She was clearly supposed to take the role of Kaine from Nier but got turned down.
-
wait, at first I thought those were short shorts. Then I noticed something the second time... it's that a metal thong and belt on top of the leather? A chasity belt? No... that wouldn't make sense. No wiat, it's just another silly BDSM design that I'm better not knowing the purpose of. Oh Konami, you and your dirty minded little staff. XD

I lol'd at the soundtrack being a random assortment of old music just like Pachislot 1's OST.
- The CVJ Maria rock rendition of "Slash" is used for the Regular Bonus theme
- The Succubus battle uses "Followers of Darkness - The First" from CoD (same music she used in Pachislot 1)
- The Angela boss battle uses some... thing that vaguely sounds like "Dance of Sadness" if it started off with a thousand organs. Like how "Trezier de Spirit" was "Gaze Up to the Darkness" with lyrics added. I can't tell if it's a new piece or something else Konami randomly rehashed from the LoI / CoD soundtrack
- The Dracula battle uses... "Tues Deus Meus." Yeah. The final boss of the game and they reused the same DXC song that was old when he used it in the first Pachislot.
Oh, and whenever you rescue/kill/whatever Angela, a bunch of Dullahan's ghosts (http://i49.tinypic.com/21dosrd.jpg) end up flying out of her (http://i48.tinypic.com/t5krw3.jpg) before she passes out/dies/whatever. Just wanted to point that out.

The website updated. There's a link to the official soundtrack release, and a couple more links at the bottom that show how the gameplay works. Nothing too different from the first pachi so far.

Games ?
I'm not sure, because pushing buttons hoping for luck "3 seven yeah !" is not really what I call a "game".
Fair music, honest graphics and cinematics, but definitely ugly interest and 0 to fun factor for Castlevania players. Another shame for the producers and Konami who allowed this "thing" to came up.

I think they're okay with that, considering they passed Harmony of Despair and LoS as Castlevania games.

there's really no reason to go so hating on pachislot games. its not like they're stealing budget, the games are by the pachislot division in konami and have no bearing on the franchise, like resident evil's pachislot or whatever.

It could also just have been a Castlevania themed slot machine which it's not.
