Topic: Pachislot III?

Konami's gambling division needs money too.

I'd love to play a Pachislot game on the bus on my iPhone or something like that.

Really, dude? You would love it? As in you would like it so much it would turn into an affection that would overpower a desire for a..I don't know, an actual Castlevania game?

I don't mean to be an asshole, but a slot machine only to be released in the country CV is probably  the least liked is not my kind of thing to love. It's so pointless I don't even want to hate it. It just adds to a chain of events where no one responsible for Castlevania seems to care about it. Except for this new tourist that thinks he has recreated Castlevania. And he only cares because the first game he produced for Konami made the big bosses cream their pants in moneygasm.

Hmm I don't think we have the right to complain about a game that won't make it outside of Japan. Sure we're all Castlevania fans, but this game was made for the Japanese market. As far as I know, Pachislot is a cultural thing in Japan. It doesn't exist in the US or Europe, or at least not in that form. So why are you guys so pissed at a game that won't ever make it outside of Japan? If anything  the Japanese fans should be the ones pissed, since they could get a complete CV game, but instead they're just getting a Pachislot game.
And who knows maybe those games are fun to play. If it ever comes out on iPhone for example I think it might be interesting to try it out.

Japanese CV fans have little to be pissed about. They get all the goodies.

C'est la vie. This game isn't confirmed  yet so there's no reason to be mad.

It's kind of in line with Castlevania Puzzle.  A normal Castlevania game just makes a terrible game to play on a smart phone with a touch pad.  Plus, if I'm out in public like on a bus, it'd be kinda nice to play a more "passive" game like a slot machine, where all you do is press the same button over and over again at your own pace, rather than an active game, even like the puzzle game, that require more frantic movement.  Of course, it'd be a little annoying to have a stranger looking over my shoulder during an Angela fan service scene.

A pachislot machine proves that?

the fact that they are making a new castlevania game with trevor is.

[thernz]

not really, there was a gradius pachislot a year or two back and that thing's deader than dead besides otomedius
applies to goemon too

it's a deliberate attempt to use the mythology people remember, but it's only for marketing. it's just a pachislot game with a castlevania theme tacked on.

[A-Yty]

Not really a game. Comparable to that puzzlevania thing.

And even if that meant they're acknowledging it still exists, doesn't mean that there are plans for it.

[KaZudra]

it still means we get a new cool soundtrack.

[VladCT]

Well, while most of the tracks were recycled, the new ones are usually great so I guess this will be worth the wait, even if it's just for the soundtrack.

[Munchy]

I can't say I'd take a glorified slot machine over a solid action adventure game. Even when you factor in the Castlevania name.

This.

It's really, really sad that the Pachi Slot shit is successful enough to get sequels over something like ReBirth.
