really can't wait for this one

 

[GaimeGuy]

[Dr. Strangelove]

Gah. I miss Ayame Kojima.

[imastalker co.]

i don't mind the art style, but even then the cover should be a lot better.

 

[Sapiens]

Probably the worst Castlevania/Dracula cover in recent memory. Though, it is interesting that the characters are composed in the shape of a cross.

Japanese Castlevania Chronicles being my favourite.

I hate that art style...Nintendo Power had a poster with that picture on it and I just threw it away. The art for Aria of Sorrow was much better.

 

[joshschw]

it looks some crappy anime game. pity.

it will rock though

 

[Mrbob]

Shit box cover. Is this supposed to be a new saturday morning cartoon?

Game should be great, though.

 

[Sagitario]

I got used to this style... I don't really care anymore (plus that anime intro was cool ), I just want to play this game...

When will it be released here?

 

[SantaC]

old. been posted before.

 

[Wario64]

same as the US cover...shock

 

[SantaC]

the game is due for october release in the US :/

I think that's setback from AoS since I think it was released in US before Japan.


edit: actually yes it was. 2 days ahead of Japan.

Ughh we are getting the WB Kids cover too? I'm hiding the box!

 

[Wario64]

small pic but...

it's actually slightly different but pretty much the same

 

[Porridge]

this doesnt really bother me, but Ayame Kojima's images have become synonymous with Castlevania

You must not be too familiar with Castlevania's old art styles.

That's interesting, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. It's a good composition tool. I think this Castlevania looks great. Now if they only could make a 2D Castlevania for the PS2...

I was highly resistant to the new art style, but it's starting to grow on me a bit. I highly prefer AoS', but... it ain't bad. The anime intro from one of the E3 vids helped convince me. Really liked how it ended, and I hope they compress it to the DS cart, just for kicks.

 

[Dreamfixx]

I don't understand the resistance to this art style. Weren't there a bunch of older Castlevania's that used a similar anime theme in the artwork?

The only ones I can remember having a purely anime style was Dracula X on Duo and Legends on GB.

 

[silver]

Too colorful.

 

[SantaC]

meh who fucking cares about a boxart anyway, it's the game that counts

 

[Mr_Furious]

Too colorful.
