Yeah.
Hopefully we can see another Alucard castlevania in the future, but Soma is OK too

Aria of Sorrow sprite rehash - check

Dumb retarded gimmicky use of touch screen - check
Poorly thought out slap-it-on use of the dual screens - check
Glad to see Iga is following Nintendo's "awesome" example when it comes to making DS games. I expect no less from the assclown himself! :lol

Looks neat, but I wish the main character sprite was a bit more detailed... Also can someone explain to me how casting spells with the touchscreen works?
The only truth is that is your "opinion". There are people there that doen´t think the story of Aria is retarded or that doen´t think in 2D in terms of "engines". My opinion is that calling "assclown" to anyone doen´t show very much of that person, if you want to hear it.
Actually, in a game as a Castlevania I really appreciate the map. For other games it could be stupid, but I will enjoy not habing to change the screen.
I love how it looks, rich 2D grahicps with bigger sprites. Hope Ds keeps going the 2D route this way.

Those aren't spells, not really anyway. After fighting a boss and and "defeating" it, you have to watch a pentagram form and then use the stylus to do it the same way after. If you succeed, the boss dies. If you fail, it regains some health and the fight continues.
I'm not getting into the fight about this looking like Aria of Sorrow again, go into the EGM scores thread if you want to see how wrong you are.

It would have been ultra cool if you could switch the gameplay to the top screen (screw casting spells with touching) and be able to toggle between the map, and inventory screen(s) on the lower screen, equipping and using items by touching/dragging them.
They could still use a touch-capable inventory system with the current setup though.

Looks great. Good to see it's in the same vein as the GBA outings.

I don't think having a constant view of the map is a "lame" use of the second screen. For most games, yeah, but I'll give Castlevania and Metroid passes on that.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!

Exactly my thoughts, though it looks no better/ worse than the GBA offerings. Which isn't a bad thing, it's just not as cool as it could be.
Kinda sucks that the main action occurs on the DS's lower-quality (and quite likely scratched-up) lower screen. This might be a new trend to hate on.
Looks swell otherwise, if probably more of the same. I'm glad they brought Soma back instead of making yet another protagonist. That kid can wear impractical, flamboyant coats like few others.

Perhaps it's due to the fact that innovation and creativity isn't exactly something you can crack open a jar of? Face it, not every game is going to sport revolutionary uses of the DS' capabilities. The sooner people realise this, and deal with it, the better.
Also, last I checked Konami's primary concern is to sell their own games, and not the platform on which they run.

You guys haven't read the article, stop assuming screens show it all. They're also going to use the DS's wireless capabilities to trade custom maps (!) and souls. They're also considering a multiplayer of some form.
As for it looking as good as SOTN...it does. IGA himself mentions in the article that the DS has superior 2D capabilities to the PSX.
Honestly, gamers' memories just suck. Either that or they don't understand that every single pic posted here is blown up beyond the actual size of the DS's screen.

Another one?
After Gradius V, Astro Boy etc. I have faith to believe that Treasure could deliver something beyond IGA's rehashes, perhaps add a bit of challenge too?
But nooooo, more metroid clones ;_;

Oh and if anyone's worried about another castle only title, there's some hope it won't be. While you can't see it in this thread anymore, there's a screen showing an outdoor environment in the snow.
I suppose this could just be a small build up to the castle perhaps, but the way the screen is laid out makes it look like more than that to me.
And for those who have the scans, I think if you look in the small image (pasted onto a DS), you can see a boss fight in the snow, which suggests it's a larger area. Or if not a boss, a large enemy.
