Anyone remember a PS1 fighting game called Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi (or something like that)? It wasn't good. I have a feeling that this will be Castlevania's MoTK.

You mean spin them off into different directions that go anywhere but back to what made the fans fall in love with the series in the first place? Yep.

New Castlevania games coming soon:

Super Castlevania Racing '09: Sponsored by NASCAR

Castlevania: Life on the Street

Castlevania Fishing Extreme Championship

When Double Dragon decided to make a one-on-one fighter, we got DDV.

Oops, forgot that one. I think that's the next one that'll be released after Castlevania: The Unnecessary 3D Fighter.

This is designed by Ayame Kojima, right? Maybe they'll be fighting to see who has the most feminine face of all, and Dracula's pissed off because he actually kind of resembles a man so he's the final boss. He's pumped and ready to kick ass. Rumble on, vampire dude!

Looking forward to the Fishing and Racing games, though. :lol

Yeah, me too. But don't tell anyone about the ultra-secret Castlevania game that Konami has planned that I just found out about:

It's a restaurant-management simulation complete with Pac-Man style minigames. Not a word, remember.

I heard horror stories about this game, and I've avoided it like the plague.

Plus, I gotta admit, I have my doubts about a Castlevania fighter.

I played SW:MotK with my uncle a bunch when I was younger. It was nothing short of a controller enema.

This game looks shit. I'm not a graphics whore but if its is Wii, why does it look like second gen PS2 graphics? fucksake.

Simon looks like he stole boots at the biker mice from mars store and alucard just plain looks like a soldier in standard armor. Or a shitty 3-world version of Arthas from Warcraft.

Castlevania Judgement, do us all a favor. Pull your lip over your head and swallow.

The most disappointing thing isn't that there's a Castlevania fighting game. The disappointment comes from the fact that the Wii gets a CV fighting game instead of a platformer.

Add to the disappointment how they used that fugly Castlevania Chronicles glam-rock version of Simon Belmont.

Links to some of the artwork here, apparently the guy who did Death Note's artwork did them.

This looks really, really terrible. Simon looks like Kira, Maria looks like Misa, Dracula looks like a Gundam, and Alucard looks like... well, not Alucard. Bleh bleh bleh.

Listen, do you hear that? It's the sound of two trains about to collide with each other at top speed.

I had seen that info over at Kombo a few days ago, but forgot to post it here.

Seriously, what the FUCK? I like Ohbata's art, but what's with making Maria Misa 2.0? Jesus. I can see many authors porting their designs to other of their works, namely the "Tezuka Method" as they call it, but doing it to a 3rd party's characters is ass.

The last thing we need is Simon succeeding in kicking Dracula's ass, whipping a devillish grin and saying "Just as planned".

Well, it could've been worse (not that this isn't bad). They could've patterned Alucard on L.

A: Iga, at least you're making strides to drive away from the "Metroidvania" formula before it gets too stale. Too bad you're heading in the wrong direction. U-Turn back onto the Get Some Damn Sense highway (which I bought and named, by the way) and junction back onto Old-School Vampire Killing Jam road.

B: Too bad that Konami's actually approving this. If it was some bullshit like Contra: Legacy of War that was outsourced to an inferior developer, then this would sting less. Eh... maybe they'll decide against this in the long run. Then again, it seems to be some invisible dictum that projects which rule get scrapped and horrid concepts eventually make it out, only to meet with equally horrid results. It's a bitch of a fact, it is.

C: Who or what the hell is Kira or Misa? Anigeeks. :p :lol (FYI, I'm just teasing, don't lynch me.) :ph43r:

I just checked out that site Dual recommended, and they just seem to want to pile the bullshit higher and higher. Simon's look sucked enough, but Maria? Jumping Jesus on a Pogo-Stick, this is just fucking wrong.

I'm wondering this myself, as I stopped actively watching anime around '96 or so.

Misa on the left and Light (aka "Kira") on the right. From the anime "Death Note." The guy doing the artwork for the new Castlevania and the guy who did the artwork for Death Note are the same person.

Despite the relative ambiguity for most anime designs... this doesn't look bad. Actually serious without that damn Shonen Jump vibe.

... I know I shouldn't, but in light of this new fact, I'm almost tempted to avoid DN on principle now. God, I'm short-minded. :lol

Well... I don't know why the hell, but I'm bumping this with a pair of screenshots. The good news is that Death looks cool, but I'm not sure you can ever make him look bad. A bit less cloak-wearing than usual, but interesting. http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gal...27436#img127432

The bad news................... ugh. Please, iron your stomachs and enforce your loins. This...... this........... t-t-t-t-tOH I CAN'T DO IT.

..................................... *drinks industrial alcohol* Forgive me, hey-zeus. THIS... http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gal...27436#img127433
