All I want from a LOS sequel: at LEAST locked 30fps, plus perhaps more NES/SNES flavored "dank" and more of CV's bestiary representing.

The lastest rumors sound too good to be true. Don't break my heart Konami

Fits a lot with what we know now.
MOAR details please
uppy eyes:Hi! Found me, I'm a double agent
So, Castlevania in ALL platfforms? And as a WiiU launch title? Sounds CRAZY
Very wise decision on Konami's part. I have every system already but not all my friends do. It's starting to look like a 3ds was a wise investment after all. I hope Mercury Steam pulls this off they have some big shoes to fill after Ecclesia.
Now the decision is whether to get LoS2 on the PS3 or WiiU for the connectivity.
Assuming this is all true? I say, If I'm going to get the 3DS version, I might as well get the most bang for my buck and get the WiiU version. Hopefully, there won't be too long of a timelapse between the WiiU version and its cohorts, if any.

You just got to practice!
And Wii U + 3DS would be the way for me as well, wonder what kind of cross functionality we'll see.
There are so many ways this can go wrong, technical and design-wise, I'll dial my expectations to zero until we have further info and media. I can almost see the blurry textures, crappy framerate and terrible controls already, but I'd love having my fears proved wrong, as unlikely as it is.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Well if there are two new Castlevanias, Mercury can make their shitty LoS sequel and IGA can make the 3DS game!
Like we'd be so lucky...
Mercury is making both. As far as I know, Iga will never touch the Castlevania IP again.
Wow, so Lordsavania is all we really have now?
Just what we suspected, thanks man

Honestly, I dunno what he could've done to piss Konami off so badly. I'd wager that the stupider franchise moves were ones perpetrated by Konami rather than Igarashi...
It's just kinda frustrating. I really loved Order of Ecclesia and felt they were starting to tap into some new ideas there... and then there's been nothing of value ever since. And that came out 4 years ago.
I think it isn't so much that he pissed off Konami, but rather the Kojima Productions deal seemed too attractive for Konami. When it comes to political clot within Konami, who do you think management would support? Kojima's choice of direction or Igarashi's? Not to mention, Kojima is actually on the board.

This make me more sad than I can express with words. Godspeed IGA :'(
I wish I could lie and say I'd skip these new 'vanias in protest but I love the franchise too much.
Man, I hope that they at least bring in Yamane for the music and Kojima or Hirooka for the artwork for the 3DS game.
yep!

As long as the person responsible for whatever that was they tried to call a storyline in LoS is far the hell away from the canon CV games, I'm okay with Mercury Steam. Everything else about LoS was amazing.

This thread exploded.
I'm liking what I'm reading. I mean... it is Mercury Steam, and their Castlevania did give me motion sickness, but I don't judge on first efforts unless they wow me.

Yeah. The biggest letdown for LOS was easily the soundtrack imo, that's definitely something that Japan needs to retake internally.
What's a canon CV game? LoS rebooted the series and it is now the official on-going canon.
He's still a producer in Konami. He produced the localization of Scribblenauts for Japan, and worked on some small games of not consequence in the last few years.
I want cross compatibility with the 3DS and Vita versions, since they are the ones I most likely will buy,
The LoS canon is canon now, I think.

Well, guess I'm done caring about the plot then. Hope it's a good game without it. XD
He was one of four writers for the game, I think. Seriously, wrap your head around that for a second: multiple people penned that plot. Granted I think two of them write comic books but goddamn was the plot in the game awful.
But if you're gone who will do the OTs for the next two 'vanias?

When I depart I'm taking my PC and Photoshop with me.
Can they be rebooted into a new existence? :3c
I hope they get more experimental with storytelling.
Also, I demand a post credits scene in the future in BOTH games

Forget EVERYTHING you know about Photoshop and PCs
All these reactions to Iga being taken off CV are hilarious. Finally you guys understand how I felt when Iga took over the CV franchise to begin with.
but nobody's happy about this.

What a shame. It's been long enough since the last "Igavania" that they could have a breath of creative fresh air. And even if it's not revolutionary, we're long overdue that most probably wouldn't mind.
Lords of Shadow is fine and has it's own flavor...but to keep the MercurySteam stuff as "everything Castlevania" is wrong in my opinion - and to extend the Western developed Castlevania to even handhelds shows that Konami just doesn't care about Igavania anymore and perhaps is another case of "outsourcing delusion" we've been seeing with Capcom, the idea that Japanese developed stuff won't get the sales so drop it altogether.
Don't know why it was so much to ask for a new IGA Metroidvania with Yamane on the soundtrack. Yamane did work for Konami-published Skullgirls recently, so I'm sure she could be persuaded to return to Castlevania. And are we sure Iga is totally out of the picture?
These people aren't getting any younger and it will be a shame never to see a new IGA Metroidvania or classic style Castlevania again.

Exactly!
i don't understand

It's not the lack of IGA that has me upset. I just worry Mercury Steam will tamper with the qualities we expect from the portable games for the worse.
Persuaded? IGA told her personally if she wants to compose for another Castlevania game, she'll get the job. Now, with Mercury Steam having all of this, they probably wouldn't take her even if she pleaded.
I am.
It's the same feeling we old school fans felt when our beloved series became a Super Metroid clone with androgenous pretty boys as protagonists with a "delicate" aura.
Sorry, in our time, Castlevania just KICKED ASS.
