f'real.
Maybe if they can get a $10m budget...
...I honestly got emotional looking at this picture. Geeze louise, I've missed Castlevania...
When was the last time Sony straight-up advertised a Kickstarter on the day it was introduced?

Would up my backing for that.

Should have been a familiar
I'd back an entirely separate kickstarter for a sprite-based spin-off on 3DS/Vita/PC

I always found it funny how Richter's sprite in-game for Symphony never got updated to the Kojima biseinen version of him.

.....oh wow. God damn you konami.
After reading that and seeing in two instances recently where he was quick to deflect all of the fame pointed to him as being the sole guy that made his games great, I agree. He stands out as a very kind and considerate person who simply wants to make games.
He's really earned much more of my respect lately. I have to wonder how different things would be for what people typically think of his games if he wasn't mandated to release them annually and given more time to grow his projects.

I'm actually conflicted, I want the game but $28 is pretty high for a code compared to a $15 average. I suppose $5 wouldn't hurt, but sucks that I'd need to pay full price later on.
In any case, glad to see these awesome KS projects finding their audiences.

Shu's the best.
I wonder what possessed them put to those outlines on those sprites. Never liked that.
Eh, igavanias have always retailed for 30-ish on GBA/DS, so it's not any different than that... and these will have HD 3D art assets w/ shaders to help make them look 2Dish. So if you compare this to past igavanias, it's par for the course but with higher rez assets.

Dickbutt please.
it's sad that we're at the point where people expect to be able to "buy" a game on kickstarter for $15 regardless of anything else.

Which one to be specific?

I suppose that's one way to see it. I'll have to ponder a bit on it.
I pay $60 for some games (even on Steam, gasp) so you can toss that out the window.
I remember a lot of people used to accusing him of refusing to talk about SOTN in interviews, or for stealing credit for things he didn't work on, or for being bitter about LOS or whatever. As it turns out, it was pretty much bullshit. Who knew?
The same is said of Yoshio Sakamoto or Eiji Aonuma or any other franchise spokesperson and it gets to be really tedious after a while.

Higher visibility on a small portable screen, most likely.
I have the same sentiment.
Probably to make the character stand out on a small handheld screen. Note that it's most prominent on Soma and Shanoa.
The real question is what's up with the glowing shadow trail that follows Alucard as he struts around the castle?
Yoshida backs a lot of Kickstarters and throws out tweets for them. Cool dude.
Eh, I doubt it would take more than a year for a duo of professional spriters to do a conversion, considering that they'd have clear references for everything. They'd never go through with that though.

Swag factor is the only reason, I think.

One of the stretch goals is most likely a Wii U/3DS port or something
At least they're considering a game at $15, not at 0.99 cents.

They want the gme to sell in japan too
He's moving super fast because he's a vampire.
Let this happen please.
You know that's just one part... they still need to program the sprites, etc.
It would be another game, entirely.
Me too, wanted a 2D game. We didn't get it, though, so I'll try to fight for a good 2.5D game, at least (as in the graphics area).
He sure is! It's been real neat seeing the more personal side of IGAsan, creator of my favorite teenage-year games. Seriously, they were formative in helping me discover my gaming tastes.
Overall, what an absolute blast it's been being a part of this whole reveal. I'm beyond hyped, and $300 in my wallet has his name written on it.
I've been traveling most of the day. Anyone know where I can check out a replay of the stream today?

It's patterned after the one that follows Iga when he's walking around :3
