Looking at the Dracula render, I really can't take the DXC Dracula design seriously anymore... -_-
I mean seriously, he ended up looking like a plain old middle-aged man.

was playing Castlevania III today on Wii and happened to be at a save point near the Doppelganger.  Couldn't help but think about the awesome pachislot Doppelganger that was based on that one.  I only fought Sypha's doppelganger though (I died the moment I switched over to Trevor).  Wouldn't mind seeing a Sypha or Alucard Doppelganger in the Pachislot game.

They really should be putting this effort toward a ps3 game. Gosh darnit! What the flying flamingo is a pachislot?!

Why?

Did I miss something?

I thought this game took place during CV3.

Is it supposed to take place AFTER?

And even so, its a pachislot game, I doubt anyone would consider it canon.

I'm not sure where these games fit in the canon. They sound like sequels (at least Pachislot II did) If Konami has intended them to be canon then I'll stand by my statement. But even if konami says they're canon it won't convince me in the least. They need to put their money where their mouth is and make a CV game worthy of our time.

Well, the "story" of the pachislots are of about the same caliber as most of the classic games. Then again, the continuity of the cutscenes is all over the place, so yeah. Though I suppose the events that are shown might still have happend in some way.

It's funny how the character models can't all go in the right direction at the same time :D

- Al looks decent (not strikingly efferminate - which is rare)
- Trevor looks girlier
- Drac looks like..just a man. Not menacing, not powerful :/
- Sypha is looking more like a teenager than before. But all in all, she's actually not that bad.

And where the hell is Grant? I think that after Judgment, they owe him a kickass appearance - even if it's just for a slot machine only released in Japan. Yet they don't bother to have him in this at all.

Okay, now these games are REALLY not making much sense now. Even though the Pachislot titles aren't Canon, the first two games gave off the impression that the story (if there is one to begin with) took place after the events of Curse of Darkness. However, this one just... has me facepalming every time something new is revealed. Here's why:


But who am I to complain? It's just a stupid non-Canon slot-machine game that will never see the light of day outside of Japan, right? *sigh* So many excellent resources wasted on... this. Why, Konami? Why?

[sarcasm]That is so surprising nowadays.[/sarcasm]

I'll be really happy if they manage to make Sypha close to her CV3 portrayal, but in this game it was only natural to expect all possible deviations from the "canon". And oversexualising characters from the past is practically a casual practice today.

Weird as all hell, given it was Judgment, but at least she wore pants or leggings or whatever instead of KAWAII UGUU schoolgirl outfit. :P

What if I happen to like the KAWAII UGUU schoolgirl outfit? 

She has nice legs.

I still like Judgement Shanoa more than canon Shanoa.  All other Judgement designs are over-designed and anachronistic as hell.

Well, looking at it, it does look pretty Sakura-Wars-y. Is that a bad thing, though? You know that Gunlord loves him some Sakura Wars girls in their tight leggings. Mmmmm-mmmm 8)

Judgment Shanoa wasn't bad either. The nun motif was interesting, at least, though IMO original shanoa managed to be sexy *and* classy at the same time. ;o

I found it's strange to complain about little side project. Especially from position of Canon.

Side project or not, the fact that they base this off CV:III, refuse to include Grant, and not portray Sypha as the enigmatic witch she is, is pretty much a slap in the face to that game and its fans. And while I understand that over-sexualizing females in games (much like Angela in the first two installments) is common, I just find this unnecessary for a character like Sypha, regardless if this game is Canon or not. Angela was a different case, due to her fighting style and powers, which was fine with me.

Anyway, at least I can happily say that Sypha's design is far more tolerable than her Judgement one, because her boobs look proportionate with the rest of her body this time.

Yeah I liked Shanoa too. And despite the design of the actual spear and the fact they made him a little boy, Eric Lecarde's outfit was surprisingly tame.

Say what you will about Trevor having enough belts to make Square Enix proud, I kind of like his design. It's refreshing to see him with short hair as opposed to long hair, and I liked the idea of an eyepatch over his scarred eye.

Alucard... well, it wasnt TOO bad, but it wasnt too good either. He just looks kind of bland.

Cornell looked pretty cool, but my peeve with the design is that he looks like some kind of armored suit or robot rather than an actual werewolf.

Well, can't expect them to actually spring for a lot of new music for a Pachislot game. They'd be better off putting that money towards making an entirely new 2D iteration with an entirely new OST anyway, but they don't seem too anxious to do that yet.

After a quick Google translation, it seems tracks 19 to 41 are returning tracks

If the slot's music tracks from 1 to 18 are original then I think they'd be worth a listen. I would if they were uploaded here for a preview.

Just listened to De-a Lungul Vietii's sample, it follows HD's metal style closely (the instruments aren't 100% guitars, fortunately, though one may argue that the guitars are still dominant) while also containing Latin vocals like the Big Bonus themes from the previous two games. Depending on your tastes, this may either be good news or bad news.

Where can I hear the samples? If it's offered on the Pachislot site, I can't find the secret moonrune for it.

I like that version of Sypha. It's much better than the Judgment redesign and, I daresay it, the original design : p
There's really nothing particularly exciting about a figure in a plain blue robe, though I don't have a problem with the original look.

This design retains enough of the character's original look while updating it and making it much more visually stimulating. We must also remember that Castlevania is a Japanese fantasy series. You take what comes along with that. And even considering that point, this design is not overly ridiculous like many of the Judgment designs.
Title: Re: Official Site Opens! Pachislot III Returns!

Still, Castlevania always retains a certain dress style for characters. They might not always be QUITE era accurate, but more or less fit the bill.

But this..? All I see is a Magical Girl/Schoolgirl.

yet people complain about LoS having "fantasy" elements.

I was always under the impression it was a horror/Gothic Horror series. The IGA canon certainly is Gothic Horror, and the pachislots follow the IGA style visually. Though im pretty sure IGA himself has nothing to do with these.

Oh, dear >____>

Fantasy, as in, based on things that are not real, and are highly fanciful and even supernatural. Meaning that the world in which this story takes place in is only based on reality so much, and does not have to resemble reality or history, and can disregard practicality.

Still, Castlevania always retains a certain dress style for characters. They might not always be QUITE era accurate, but more or less fit the bill.

All I'm going to say about this is that it's not even correct. Conan in 1600s Europe? Really? S&M gear in 1600s Europe? I don't think so.

Touche, but they still more or less fit the bill as something "old" as in, "not modern looking". And certainly not magical girl looking. Its simply odd that the game follows the IGA visual style, with Trevor  and Alucard and such, but then turns around and pulls out Sypha dressed like something out of a magical girl anime. It's just a slightly jarring contrast.

Then again, We cant say we are strangers to out of place fashions in Castlevania. Barbarians in the 1600's indeed. or Sonia Belmont herself.

I just dislike the design because I find it visually boring. Not that CVIII had an exciting design for her either like Succy said. I don't like the color palette and it doesn't seem focused. It seems a bit dulled by how pastel everything is, barring her wand and hairbands, etc. nitpicky licky. Though I guess it's more inoffensive than bad. Most offense for me just comes from her actual role in the game.

I find the Alucard design to be the worst of them though, because it just took SoTN's and made it bad. So unlike Sypha, there's no hint of imagination.

It's not that, just the fact that they base it off the game is a stupid idea. Why they didn't stick a with non-canon entry like the prequels is silly. Also, if they wanted to include Dracula's Curse characters, it should've been executed better (i.e; not ruin the character designs), but, I digress.
