Title: Castlevania The Arcade on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, can it be done?
Post by: Johnny Alucard on June 26, 2012, 06:04:25 PM
Recently Nintendo added a lightgun arcade game called Mad Dog McCree on the 3DS eShop, and it got me thinking "What if other lightgun style arcade games could be ported onto the 3DS?"

So I think Castlevania The Arcade could be really awesome on the 3DS. There's already shooters that use the touch screen to control the targeting reticule, making the top screen where the action is, and they could make that action into 3D and it'd look awesome because it's from a first person perspective.

I would've totally bought a PS-Move had they ported it to ps3. But for 3DS? If they ever did that, I would still buy it day 1, but as I was playing I'd just be bitching all the time that they shoulda ported it to the ps3 instead :/

Not without severe downgrading. I vote for the PS Move myself.

A PS3 bundle with Castlevania: The Arcade and that Silent Hill arcade game would be great. They could call it... something. KONAMI HORROR ARCADE DOUBLE PACK. Or something completely different. But it would make more sense to put both games on one disc than release them seperately, given how short these kind of games usually are. I'd buy it.

Yeah, I'd rather have it on a console but I guess "beggars can't be choosers."

The only problem is that the Move wand sucks hard compared to the Wiimote. Constant need to recalibrate aim for the lose.

Maybe they can put it on the Wii U.

Ah, does it? I haven't used one yet honestly.

They both need recalibrating, but the Move, though it works better, it works less often so it needs more recalibrating.
It's pretty odd.  It's 'technically' superior, but it's not practically so.
