You guys should do yourselves a favor and watch it on the Konami site.

It looks much better at the native resolution, instead of being all blown up like the Youtube video.

 

[Dascu]

Yeah, I think...

The "Top Secret!" answer sounds a lot more positive (as in real confirmation) than his usual "Wii is an interesting platform, but no waggle-whip.". I'm hoping for a 2D classic Castlevania Wii myself (Wario Land does it, Oboro Muramasa Youtouden does it, IGA has no excuse).

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Finally, nice art.

Awesome music.

Graphics looks neat (that wave water effect looked cool).

and lol at the tentacle rape at the end of the video...

 

[∀ Narayan]

This looks 100% amazing.

Also, that female lead is nice looking.

 

[Ranger X]

ODIN'S SPHERE's QUALITY 2D Castlevania for Wii.

please.

 

[Mechar]

Man, those 3D bakgrounds sure do look crips. The 3D waves that are in the background in the Piratelevel are perfectly rendered, and they really do look like real waves. Couldn´t help to also notice a referens to Abandoned Mine in Symphony of The Night. This game is however a day one purchase.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

ODIN'S SPHERE's QUALITY 2D Castlevania for Wii.

please.

With a female lead and the same Character Designer

PLEASE

I agree

 

[Joule]

ODIN'S SPHERE's QUALITY 2D Castlevania for Wii.

please.

Oh god that would be amazing. Vanillaware I'm waiting for more.

 

[Ranger X]

Seriously, details are starting to pop about really nice games lately.

I'm totally flabergasted by Beyond Good And Evil 2, Sim City Wii and Castlevania OE

 

[zurra]

Yes, more Metroidvania! YES, GIANT ENEMY CRAB! I could play this stuff until the day I die and not hate it one bit!

Shanoa looks pretty rawr too... :X

 

[Dragona Akehi]

This actually looks really really nice. Really like the artwork, it's a nice change from Kojima and it isn't that horrible "target demographic" animu. The water scene is very impressive, though I'm still laughing at the female protagonist: how did Iga ever allow that after his "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FEMALE VAMPIRE HUNTER" crap? It's a good thing though. Her voice sounds similar to Charlotte's but not as... cringe-inducing.

Oh and it's lame but I loved the "Now is the time of your demise!", reminds me of VP.

Is it this hard to look at the trailer? Sorry, if I'm grumpy. Eurogamer's MGS4 review makes me wanna punch shit.

Uhh... a review of a game you're going to love/hate on your own makes you want to do violence? ...Might want to think about priorities about it.

 

[castle007]

HOLY SHIT

looks amazing

 

[Flakster99]

It looks quite nice, anticipation +1.

Agreed. Do yourselves a favor and watch it on the Konami site.

 

[Pojo]

Great as always, but I see some touch screen usage with those little blue orbs that she hooks to...?

Meh.

 

[rollingstart]

After watching that trailer again, I am feeling much more excited about this game than I was for the past two DS games. Last Castlevania game (exception being DXC) I was really excited about was Aria of Sorrow.

 

[castle007]

Great as always, but I see some touch screen usage with those little blue orbs that she hooks to...?

Meh.

IGA said the touch screen won't be used in combat.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Badass. I shall have a new ds by then.

Also, I said :O when she destroyed the boss with the elevator.

 

[Dartastic]

ODIN'S SPHERE's QUALITY 2D Castlevania for Wii.

please.

Yes. Please. This. Oh, oh please, this.

 

[x3sphere]

Great trailer. I'm really liking the music.

 

[lyre]

Nice. I am currently cautiously looking forward to new media.

ODIN'S SPHERE's QUALITY 2D Castlevania for Wii.

please.

That'll be a good fit. The game will recycle enemy sprites in addition to backgrounds AND environments.


PS. These characters >> Kojima's latest 'works'.

So bitter.

 

[C- Warrior]

...meh.

 

[JEKKI]

:subscribes to thread:

this game looks like one crazy mother ducker

 

[SYNTAX182]

wow, this looks really good. great video intro, awesome artwork, character animation of the main character reminds of alucard animation from symphony of the night.

 

[Metroidvania]

IGA said the touch screen won't be used in combat.

This is the only thing that would have....made me consider the purchase.

Now it's back to day one.

Really loving the concept-ish art in the beginning, back to a more mature style.

Her voice sounds similar to Charlotte's but not as... cringe-inducing.

From watching the trailer once, I don't think they're the same person doing in-game voice and the announcer at the end, but I'm almost positive the announcer is the same woman who does yukari in persona 3.

 

[USD]

Love the art. Do we have any info on this, like what year this one is supposed to be set in?

 

[Ranger X]

Well, i would want it to be a Castlevania. I don't want nothing from Odin's Sphere game design. Only the visual scope/quality.

 

[eatyobeans]

It looks good, but nothing ground breaking. Im not as excited for this as I was for Dawn or Portrait, but im actually liking the female lead.

 

[SYNTAX182]

speaking of Odin Sphere. whatever happened to that wii game with a ninja main character being made by the same team.

 

[neo2046]

Awesome!!
nice job IGA

and of course, Day 1 !!

 

[Haint]

Shame to see such awesome art and style wasted on portable--there is such a disconnect between that intro and the actual game.

 

[psy18]

Nice.

 

[TrueReligion]

SO AWESOME.

love the music.

 

[Dascu]

Love the art. Do we have any info on this, like what year this one is supposed to be set in?

It's set in the 1800s, after the events of Rondo and SotN.

 

[Sagitario]

FREAKING DAY ONE!!!

Excellent music and art [seriously, those characters designs are a very nice change from Kojima]... and it looks better than the previous DS games: the effects are really nice and varied, looks very action packed [going by the trailer] and there is so much going on the screen ... also, I saw new sprites =D ...

Too bad the trailer spoiled so many bosses =\ ...

Still, can't wait...

 

[blu]

beautiful. now tell me vanillaware is doing the wii counterpart with the same amazing art.

 

[ZealousD]

From watching the trailer once, I don't think they're the same person doing in-game voice and the announcer at the end, but I'm almost positive the announcer is the same woman who does yukari in persona 3.

Also the same woman who did Velvet in Odin Sphere.

This'll likely be my second favorite game of the year.

Yeah, that's what I also thought. She shows up quite frequently.

 

[bounchfx]

oh my god WANT WANT WANT

 

[Llyranor]

Fantastic. Nice art and music.

I really loved DoS and PoR, so this is easily day1.

 

[lyre]

Well, i would want it to be a Castlevania. I don't want nothing from Odin's Sphere game design. Only the visual scope/quality.

And I repeat; this proverbial game will recycle traditional enemy sprites in addition to backgrounds AND environments.

Shame to see such awesome art and style wasted on portable--there is such a disconnect between that intro and the actual game.

I see you agree with me that you would rather see the franchise dead.

 

[Mejilan]

Hooooly shit that looks crazy good! I love the new art style. She might be the coolest CV hero in... forever! The mechanics look fun as hell. All of it looks pleasantly remixed and reinvented! That water stage... awesome! Music, graphics, special effects! It all looks so delicious!

 

[Bizzyb]

Looks good to me.

Can't wait

 

[G-Fex]

seems to be a huge improvement and will likely be great.

 

[Jiggy]

Shame to see such awesome art and style wasted on portable--there is such a disconnect between that intro and the actual game.

This is Castlevania we're talking about, not a series that Konami sinks much money into. It would probably look more or less the same on home consoles.

Or worse. *recalls LoI and CoD*

 

[lyre]

But at least the art and style will be awesome! :rolleyes

 

[HK-47]

So true. CV is gonna be awesome

Stop hatin' you fucking Flygon =P
