Topic: CR Pachinko Akumajō Dracula Announced

[EstebanT]

If you go to the mobile website you can see all characters with some sort of symbols relating to them behind them. Richter has a generic cross and so on.
But I found this one interesting.

A clock?
Wonder what it means.
The clock isn't finished either. It probably represents time running out?
Not that it matters since its a piece of shit Pachinko machine.
Any ideas?

Akumajo Dracula: Fap in the Violence

I like Akumajo Dracula: Violently Fapping better.

A clock that is not complete... Perhaps she's supposed to be a part of that time traveling/protectorate group that both St. Germain and Aeon are a part of. either that or maybe her represented item is the sub-weapon Stop Watch.

Sorry but who's TAKASAGO? The developer?

From Konami's Corporate History:
2011 January KONAMI made ABILIT CORPORATION (currently TAKASAGO ELECTRIC INDUSTRY CO., LTD.) a wholly-owned subsidiary through a share exchange.
2012 February KPE・TAKASAGO Sales Co., Ltd. was established.
2014 June TAKASAGO ELECTRIC INDUSTRY CO., LTD. began sales of pachinko machines.

Upon further snooping on Takasago's site, they already made slot machines out of Suikoden and Gradius way back in 2011.

I finished Dracula's bio. Pretty standard fare.

The vampire who rules the dark world as demon king.  Even if defeated, he is never destroyed, as once every 100 years, when holy powers become weak, he is brought back to life by to a dark ritual*. The demon castle is the embodiment of his magical powers and displays his might. Altough unparalleled in his cruelty, he possesses both elegance and refinement.

*The original word uses the kanji for "Rondo of Blood" (血の輪廻) and "ritual". I'm not sure how to translate that.

And I'll add a little bonus.

Cerberus

Three-headed beast.

Minotauros

Monster with superhuman strength and the head of a bull.

Honestly I think this red haired girl looks awesome.

And as far as the sexiness goes, I'm dead or alive and newly a Onechanbara fan. I don't mind the sexiness thing it all.

If anything it makes sense to have a sexual tones in a game about vampires and succubus. I would welcome that in a new Castlevania as long as the game were good.

They really should bring these designs and some of three ideas into a console game. I would be all for it. 

[Lelygax]

The problem is when they focus on this instead of it being naturally included, as if it was the major thing in the game.

Nice vid Leylgax 

pretty much sums up the fans' feelings about them.

I think some fans wouldn't be so upset if Konami had also announced a console game of some sort. It's the fact that all they have announced is a pachinko game that stings. Even though I really don't think it looks bad. That's the coolest looking Richter I've seen in an while and I really dig him with the combat cross. The graphics actually look pretty cool to me.

I still pray that Konami brings Castlevania to the PS4 in some form.

So is the Combat Cross officially part of the classic timeline now? I wouldn't mind it being retconned as the VK's ultimate form.

More like officially part of the pachinko timeline, I think.

Interesting backstory for Shaft:

A dark priest who detests peace and attempts to bring descruction and chaos. He revived Dracula, and plots to change this world into one he desires. Once he was a clergyman, but the more he served god, the more he came to see the world as corrupted, and the god he believed in greatly disappointed him. [something about peace and some other stuff] in order to destroy this [society] he dabbled into dark magic, revived Dracula , and plots to change this world into one he desires.

Shiroi, could you perhaps correct this this one please?
