Support NeoGAF

Figure maybe this will help shed some light on the project...this came from a Castlevania fan-page on Facebook, later reposted on the Castlevania Dungeon.

I think the deal is sealed on it being IGA's game.

That is some mighty detective work

Can't wait to see how this shapes up

Holy shit. Godlike way to tease a game, damn.

Definitely willing to back this.

 

[SolidSnakex]

If he is doing an Igavania then hopefully he'll get Kojima and Yamane back on board.

well done

 

[Seven Force]

Both of them are freelance, aren't they? It'd be great if they got on board.

 

[Foffy]

I know Igarashi promised Yamane any composing efforts to later Castlevania games after she left the company...that was before Konami wanted to move away from the "effeminate" music style she offered the series and Igarashi was replaced. ):

I would assume she'd be more than willing to work on this if she's not busy with other things. No idea of Kojima.

I sure hope so, specially Kojima. I miss her designs so much.

 

[SolidSnakex]

That seems to be the case with Yamane since she's recently worked on Skull Girls. But I haven't heard anything about Kojima in quite some time. Her wiki says that she did some art for Dynasty Warrior 7's artbook in 2011. And that's apparently the last gaming related project that she's worked on.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Great detective work! This will absolutely receive my backing.

 

[CentroXer]

the old gang goes back making a "castlevania" type of game while konami wastes the franchise on mediocre developers like mercuarySteam.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

IGA and Yamane are supposed to be old drinking buddies, I'm sure they would love to work together again

 

[CO_Andy]

Personally i'd prefer Igarashi hire the artist from Order of Ecclesia, but Kojima's okay.

Some of her original designs can be a bit uninspiring (so many white hair protags). Her work really shines when she's using somebody else's design.

 

[LeleSocho]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Seconded. I'm also not a fan of her tiny headed characters. Her technique though is gorgeous, if sometimes repetitive.

OoE had great Masaki Hirooka art.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Heh, I thought if there was anything in those runes it would have been deciphered days ago.

Kickstarter Confirmed then.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Masaki's art was also fantastic

As long as we never go back to DoS and PoR's saturday morning anime look we're good.

 

[Jotamide]

$100 tier, no questions asked. Bring it IGA.

 

[Black Soma]

Awesome. Can't wait to hear more about it.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

I would love an Iga game on my Vita.

Mikami making not Resident Evil.
Inafune making not Mega Man.
And now Igarashi making not Castlevania.

I hope Murayama opts to make not Suikoden.

Really excited to see what comes out of this.

 

[IrishNinja]

gonna be so broke but BRING IT

 

[EVH]

Please be also on PC and close to the last DS Castlevanias.

 

[Jaeger]

Holy shit.

 

[Erin S Kittens]

Goodness. This is the best gaming news I've heard in a long time. How depressing Iga's exile from the genre has been.

Holy smokes...!.. KS means KickStarter right?

 

[Shizuka]

Holy smokes...!.. KS means KickStarter right?

I did not think of that.

 

[Jaeger]

Instantly funded. I would pay hundreds to secure a copy, and any wonderful artbooks and the like with it.

Please get Kojima to do the art.

 

[The Boat]

Great tease and great detective work, love stuff like this.

 

[clem84]

There was already a thread for this but I think most people didn't even notice it.

So, during Mighty No. 9 panel at PAX you could grab one these weird flyers. Those pics, that description... this could really be IGA's new game.

So we don't know for sure if this is his new game?

 

[SegaShack]

so uh...where are we getting koji igarashi from this, again?

Stage based Castlevania please. Go back to the roots. I want an action game, not a backtracking adventure.

Now we just need Yuji Naka to make not Classic Sonic, and I would go crazy.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Okay this is some mindblowing shit.

 

[Jaeger]

Are you saying SotN was not one of the best games ever made?

(P.S. Rondo is easily the second best CS game).

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Could be , we are not sure at this point, we need to do further research

 

[ZeroX03]

If it's Iga, it's Metroidvania. It's what he's known for and the bulk of his Castlevania work. Maybe something along the lines of OoE at best.

 

[clem84]

If this is indeed a new Metroidvania game from Iga then

WHOA

WHOA

PLS STOP THE TEASING, MY BODY IS MORE THAN READY

 

[Nibel]

All signs point toward Iga

Bring it!

 

[Foffy]

Igarashi also wants to make games fans of his work expect of him. That all but assures his next game is a Metroidvania. He literally left Konami to continue making these types of games, as Konami thought he was better fit for casual and social games.

 

[OnPoint]

Ready to back the shit out of this

 

[tringworldso]

Props to whoever deciphered the image.

 

[Goody]

Very cool. If these guys are smart, they'll start the Kickstarter on the first of October and let it run through Halloween, capitalizing on a time of year where I'd wager many people revisit the Castlevania series. I know I do. In fact, Konami themselves may do the same, Nintendo permitting, re-releasing the GBA games or SNES Dracula X through the Wii U Virtual Console.

I'm assuming this might be something Inti Creates might be working on with Igarashi. If true, that'd be a great opportunity to do something like they did with Gunvolt. Maybe we'll have a CastleMania that is a Metroidvania game and an NES styled platformer to coincide with the release. Through Beck in there for the heck of it and call it Mighty Castlemania.

 

[jj984jj]

Can't wait to see what Iga comes up with from scratch.

 

[Dascu]

Can't wait to see what Iga comes up with from scratch.

New skeleton sprites!

 

[OnPoint]

New skeleton sprites!

Well, for the first game at least...

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Ok so... FUCK YES. Pretty cool that someone deciphered that, fancy reveal.

 

[Foffy]

Can't wait to see what Iga comes up with from scratch.

I wonder what the main villain will be. I know Igarashi had ideas for a Castlevania game without Dracula on any major level. I would imagine he can very easily retrofit those ideas into a new, standalone title.

 

[SegaShack]

I prefer

Castlevania
Castlevania 3
Super Castlevania 4
Rondo

To SoTN any day.

Lottery Man. Game ends when he wins the lottery and quits being evil.
