Topic: Castlevania coming to Windows Phone 7 at launch!

[Reinhart77]

ugh, this article says that Konami "released" a Castlevania based game at Window's 7 launch.  but i can't find it on the Windows Phone 7 home page or Konami's home page.  heh, the article talked about social networking.  wouldn't it be scary if the game turned out to be something like the Lords of Shadow facebook app?

IGN got a page about it with minimal information but I don't know if that says much.

I wouldn't be surprised, with the popularity of Facebook gaming on the rise these days. Although I haven't tried that LoS app yet.

And this was an useful post... how?  Would we not have noticed, and why is this a big deal?

I liked Nagumo's Sonia avatar, s'all.

and I edited the post so it's "useful" now

Try not to make a habit of these useless posts, 'kay?  There's a good lad.

Looks like Android is getting the NES version of Castlevania.  Hope Windows gets something more interesting.

Is that NES version a legit app or just an emulator? I have emulators on my iPhone that are fairly decent, but it'd be cool and kinda promising if it were a legit Konami app.

-edit-: After following links, it looks like its just a CV1 theme for android, not the actual game. The blog you linked to says its a game but the link she has posted goes to the theme. O_o

So has anyone figured out what on earth this Windows 7 app is supposed to be?

[Reinhart77]

i'm beginning to think that its "all lies".

oh, guess there's no CV game for Android, gotcha.

I can play NES Castlevania on Android already... but it's an emulator.
Can play SNES, too. >_>

I'm curious about emulators on iPhone... do you have to "break" your phone to do it? Not that I'm discussing emulation or anything   (Or maybe it's ROMs we can't talk about.). Anyway, I'm not discussing any of it. Nope. I am not. No way. kthnxbye.  



Anyway, I really want a Castlevania for iPhone. Encore of the Night was - to put it mildly - not my cup of tea. I like puzzle games but this was just.. meh. The mobile version of Aria of Sorrow was terrible too, so my expectations for MobileVanias are really low.

Actually the Android systems emulator is a free app from the Android Marketplace.
The ReadOnlyMemories, however, have to be acquired by other means...

Yeah you have to jailbreak your phone, but it's easy and harmless providing you read up on it. PM me if you want more info and include what version of iOS you're running.

Maybe it'll be a remake of Order of Shadows? One that's better, at least? ^^;;
