you know, in some way each metroidvania--good as they may be--really do serve to remind me how criminally few metroid games are made.

Damn, that was almost a possibility until the whole "disk with every game on it" part, haha.dabookerman said:
That would be the greatest thing ever though...i would buy it for $150
I'd rather have a good 3D game (with stylized graphics, perhaps like the ones in the recent OoE trailer, and pointer whip), than another 2D game, except if such a 2D game would feature completly new hi(gher)-res sprites. Otherwise, I see no point in having it on a console.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a 2.5D affair like Rondo PSP, though I would be a bit disappointed. The 2.5D graphics look nice, but pure 2D sprites, even if they are re-used, are so much better.

This thread title irks me.
Reminds me of Kotaku's headline: RUMOR - HALO 4 CONFIRMED

It would be a rather nice announcement after the shitstorm Ubi and Capcom caused for the wii-only owners. :lol

That's exactly the reason why I said what I said.
Outsourcing *could* be good remember though, especially if they go the Actionvania route again. Imagine if they got the TOSE team that co-developed UGNG on it? Or (dare to dream) Vanillaware? Or Treasure Video Games!!!!1!Ranger X said:Probably. Anyhow, the only thing i hope is that new Casltevania or remake to be good. I'm still waiting to play a truly good 3D Castlevania.
Castlevania Shake plz!

I'll be less interested if it doesn't utilize the abilities of the Wiimote/Nunchuck. I hope they will be used.

THANK YOU.
I love Treasure, but I think WayForward is probably the one development team who possibly has potential to be just as awesome 2D sprite wizards as they are, if not possibly more.
A Castlevania handled by these guys would be godly, utilize all new sprites, and quite possibly be the game that a lot of us have been waiting to see for a while now. Just like it was with Contra 4...
DO IT, KONAMI. You know these guys did the damn thang with Contra 4. Let them work their magic once again....and then give them the funding necessary to make their Shantae sequels a thing of reality!
You know, I'd rather have them try and fail, than not try at all. The Wiimote offers some serious game control innovations, so yes, I would be a bit disappointed if it's "just" a 2D game or a 3D game with a normal control input (unless the 2D is totally freaking beautiful).TunaLover said:
Scamco should've just ported SCIII with some extras(Link+Ganondorf) it would've sold truckloads. Soul Calibur Legends is a disgrace to the series, although I'm not sure what to expect form SCIVTunaLover said:
A castlevania 2.5D for the Wii would be great, but I'm affraid they might try the 3D route once again.

Look if they do it right, it'll be sweet. Just like how every game that gets the controls right gets a boost in their enjoyment.
Dascu said:
Sure thing, just I´m little afraid that Castlewiinia finish being so tiresome and unplayable like SCL, hopefully Iga is not fan of whipping by waggle, but a good Wiimote/nunchuck implementation is always possible, I´m all for it, Iga right now is figuring out the best option.
From what I've been told it's not the combat engine and interface that's the problem with SCL... it's everything else. :/TunaLover said:
I dunno... Contra 4 versus Gradius V, it's a real toss up imo.TreIII said:THANK YOU.

In the end I think I'd take TREASURE 2.5D though... imagine the bosses!!
Well guys' FWIW I have been contacted by both Konami AND Tokyopop asking me to remove the key selling points from the Castlevania manga listing. Don't know exactly what it means, and was just told "the information was not meant to be released to the general public" (which is BS because it is in the actual previews as well).

What a pack of fucking jokers. Here's a hint, Konami: Tell your doorknob marketing guys not to cross-promote or sell brand synergy if you don't want it made public that you are working on products to have synergy with.
That's dumber than SEGA trying to shut down the Sonic Unleashed leaks. :lol
to clarify what happened on our end, we have a vendor provided data file each month that we use to upload that month's listings. Everything you see on the page under the picture and pricing availability section is in the description field. So this wasn't some super secret area that I wasn't supposed to uploaded or leaked to the customers... at least if it was then someone at tokyopop and/or konami screwed up and included it in the file to Diamond. Again, I don't know the validity of it and didn't even notice the listing until I saw our traffic double over the last couple of days. Just wanted to assure you there was no shenanigans here on our part and that it's been removed at the request of the companies.
