KONAMI GAMER'S DAY 2007 INFO
_____________________________________________________________________________

Yeah, it's that time of year. The key to weathering a Konami Gamer's Day event is to hold the central truth in mind that, at it's heart, it is KONAMI that is doing the announcing. That means if you enter expecting to be disappointed, you will be satisfied with what happens.

Konamiursdayton:

According to Bozon-IGN's blog (http://blogs.ign.com/bozon-ign), the "conference" of sorts should begin around 5 PM PST. That's 8 PM EST for those of us on the East Coast. He expects to be able to deliver news as it comes, so it doesn't seem as though there is any type of NDA in effect. We'll see.

What we already kind of know:

● Castlevania. The Castlevania series is one of gaming's most treasured, and apparently TWO games are in the works regarding the Battle of 1999. There is also a PSP game in the works, but we're unsure if it is related to the Battle of 1999 storyline. Rumors of a PSP remake/recreation of an older Castlevania have reached fever pitch. (Article)
● Kobun Heat, aka Chris Kohler, wrote that he heard that Konami has a "bunch of Wii games" to announce. Whether this is Virtual Console titles, new IPs, sequels or ports nobody knows. (Article)
● We also know that there are many untitled games Konami announced in the previous year that have to be given names eventually. Will it be Suikoden? Will it be Winning Eleven on PS3 or Wii?

● Dewy's Adventure (Wii) announced, from the Elebit's team. In Dewy's Adventure, gamers take control of a recently incarnated water droplet, Dewy, whose Elder Tree master has fallen ill at the hands of the evil Don Hedron. It's up to Dewy to find a way to save the Elder Tree and restore order to the once-flourishing forests. (Article, Images, Videos)
● Castlevania: The Dracula X (PSP) announced... a full 2.5D remake of Rondo of Blood. But that's not all! It also contains the original game in its entirety for the first time in the US. But that's not all! It also contains Symphony of the Night as well. (Article, Videos)
● Coded Arms Contagion (PSP) was revealed a while back, but you can check out the latest screens at the link. (Images)

Come back later for updates...
 
Do we know if Castlevania PSP will be in 2D or 3D?

Maybe it is just a placeholder at the moment?
 
Hopefully we'll see some next-gen stuff from Konami. I'd SO love to see a sequel to Shadow of Destiny.
 
Castlevania PSP is -rumored- to be an Igavania style remake of Rondo of Blood..... for better or for worse. Probably 2D.

As for other rumors, it's believed that Konami might announce a good amount of support for the Wii today as well.
 
thread is fine, we dont have any idea what Konami is going to announce aside from PSP Castlevania.

the new EGM is out and I took a glance at it, and its a SHOCKING remake of an already existing CV game
 
My wish: Dracula X and SotN collection on PSP - untouched ports

What we'll get: Probably something unexpected and awful -

shocking!? in what sense?
 
Yeah, so I'm about to sound stupid...

Nothing Castlevania related is exciting to me. I'm hoping for other announcements pertaining to Silent Hill and Metal Gear, but I know better than to get my hopes up.

Yeah, I loved that game. Probably one of my favorites of last gen. So underappreciated.

I'm kind of burned out on Castlevania, although I'm sure I'll end up playing whatever it turns out to be.

Why did you re-uglify the post!

I didn't do anything. I just posted the second rumor. You probably changed it and then I posted again using my edit. Change it back and I'll use yours.

edit: I was trying to figure out what the hell you did :lol :lol

If this isn't some kind of joke, what the hell is wrong with you? Post the Sonic and the Secret Rings review dammit! O_O

Hehehe. Well I used much of your info, but just added links and a nice format. Re-fixed
 
You know, attention grabbing isn't really something people like to see. If you have the mag early, you can share the info and everyone will be grateful. Going "oooh I have the new info but I'll post a piece at a time" is just ****ing annoying.
 
play has pretty much revealed that it's rondo, and 2.5d works for me if it's anywhere near ultimate g+g's quality. can't wait to see it.

edit: also can't wait till ziff lets toastyfrog review it in as many outlets as they've got left
 
If you're going 2.5D you're already making an entirely new game from scratch and can't use old assets...so what's the point of doing a remake instead of just a new game?
