Topic: Another new game! Castlevania:The Arcade

[shelverton.]

The only thing that's actually speaking AGAINST a Wii-version is that the person describing the game said it had PS3/XB360 graphics, which suggests that a straight port for the Wii is out of the question. But who knows, weirder things have happened.

The person that posted the Youtube video sent me a private message.

They confirmed that there wasn't any platforming in the part of the game they were able to play (no surprise, but then again the subweapon item button wasn't available either).

They said that being able to crack the whip was like being Simon. Amen to that.

Finally, they said that the Konami rep winked at the question about a Wii port while giving the standard "no comment," but said they had thought about it.

(I'll copy-paste the original message if I get permission to do that.)

Yeah the graphics would indeed need to be pared down, but the Wii is the absolute perfect system to accept and maintain the gameplay aspects.

It would still look nice though; Wii can do it.

[Gimph]

Is the gameplay from a first-person view?

[A n t r a x x]

That's what they make it sound like.

[Eric Roman]

Sounds pretty cool!

Nnnyeeeeaaaaah, but do you think it'll generate its rent for long enough that we get our own cracks at it?

I really like the artwork for it.

Anyway, I'm kinda hoping it's not just a rail-shooter. I kinda wanna see a new 3D Castlevania game, but with a new system. I think the ones for PS2 are way too much about running around in endless corridors, fighting monsters. In Legacy of Darkness you had traps to avoid and puzzels. I wish they could have a little more of that.

Or perhaps a 3D Castlevania with the style of Simon's Quest..?

It's definitely a rail-shooter, but with a whip. This was confirmed. A new game like you're describing probably wouldn't work too well for the arcades.

Any guesses on when some new info on this game will be revealed?


oh and i am  drunk

I'm expecting and hoping for two games to come out for the home consoles.  One remixed version made for the wii, and then years later, a faithful port of the original arcade game on the Wii2 or whatever comes next.
