After seaching about some chronology stuff about castlevania, i found "Castlevania - The Arcade"
I never heard anything about it.

""Akumajo Dracula: The Arcade" is a Castlevania game released in Japan for the arcades in October 2, 2009. The game features first person action where up to two players can grab a whip/gun control and slash/shoot at enemies that appear on the screen. Players choose between a generic "Vampire Hunter", "Lady Gunner", or "Little Witch". The game has 9 revealed bosses so far, being Death, White Dragon, Dullahan, Minotaur, Water Dragon, Werewolf, Harpy, Death (again), and Dracula.

This game utilizes the E-Amusement Pass, which can be used to save progress in this game or unlock features in this or other Konami arcade games. "

Are some pics there too.

So far ive seen, it looks like House of the Dead. And so many questions upcoming there for me...lol
gonna search on youtube now...
sry, if this is already old!

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Yup, it's old.
Many people think this game looks really cool.  At the time it came out we were really hoping they'd port it over to the Wii since the game seems to use a 'whip' baton thing to work... though that was before Kinect and PSMove, so I suppose it could be ported to any system now...

...if Konami cared.  Since that came out a few years back and I fail to see a port, I don't think they care.

[Profbeanburrito]

Yeah this is like 2 years old maybe, but really awesome. It has my favorite sound trackof any CV games, definitely worth listening to if you can get it

[OdenAndEvil]

Would be a big Suprise if a Port of this would be done for annyversity... :x
Anyways, looks like fun. Like playing games like HotD.
yes, 2009...im just a slow f***

[Nagumo]

They apperently planned to release this in the UK, but they only released a flayer as a total tease.

[shelverton.]

critics trashed this game, but I think it looks fun. I love railshooters so that may have something to do with it. A Wii port would've been great, or even better - a kinect/move port, for better graphix! Not that own a kinect or a move.

I doubt we'll ever hear about this game from Konami again though.

[Claimh Solais]

I really wanna play this game. Sucks that we won't be seeing a release on home consoles, and being released over here. A totally cool thing they could do is release the game for Wii, bundled with the OST and ReBirth.

...Of course, like that'll ever happen.

On-rails games are totally my style. I had a lot of fun when Resident Evil moved into that genre.
Of course, Resident Evil uses guns...

Why do some of you keep suggesting the WII when it'll be much better suited for PS3 in pretty much every way

Well, I thought that suggestion up, like, back in early 2010 I think. Course now we got PSMove and Wii U, so whatever.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

At the time there was no PSMove.
Now we do have that, plus Kinect.  And later on, WiiU.

[Abnormal Freak]

By now it would be much more appropriate to release this on the PS3 with Move support to retain the HD vizualz. I'd be all over that.

Both this and Silent Hill: The Arcade need console ports. I wanna play 'em both very much.

[shelverton.]

Konami could bundle them together on one blueray. OMG Konami Horror Arcade Collection: Castlevania & Silent Hill!  I would buy it.

[Inccubus]

I think it would be a better move for Konami, financially speaking, to port both those games to Wii as there is a much larger number of people that have a Wii than have Kinect & Move combined. Something to the order of 80m wiis vs about 20m kinect + move worldwide. Besides, I don't think the graphics would take that much of a hit anyway.

*runs away and hides out alone with his logic... damn you logic, damn you.*

[shelverton.]

Then again, the Wii is dying. The kinect and move may have a smaller user base, but there's a greater chance for them to be around for a few more years, with third party support.

[Inccubus]

True, but then I highly doubt they're gonna release these two games at all.
They should have done it last year if at all. Oh well, there's always Wii U I suppose.
