Right after the kickass retro MM9 Wii Ware announcment, this news crosses the wire.

Thoughts?

Are there enough characters to actually formulate a full fighting game, or do you think there will be lots of cameos?

It sounds cool in concept, but will probably actually be rather lame.

Why do companies think that this sort of thing is a good idea?


Here's an idea... Why don't they make a new Castlevania game that actually resembles Castlevania?!

Order of Ecclesia is being developed for the Nintendo DS (which is further refining the excellent concepts from Aria/Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin).

Now, for the loltacular character designs...

- lol, it's Light Yagami. Will Simon have a Death Note?

- Maria got Misa-Misa'D.

- Alucard

- Dracula.

Of course, when you have the artist of Death Note, this is to be expected.

Light's been working out. >_>

On that note though... Shinigami in Castlevania wouldn't be too bad an idea.

Most people I talk to about this game believe it is doomed to fail. That being said, I would like to see who else they put in before I judge. I the trailer, it mentions that it spans throughout the Castlevania timeline, so the question remains this: How far in the timeline will it go, in both directions?

I am glad to see the return of Simon Belmont into this game, but will other Belmonts make the cut? Some I would love to see are Juste, Julius, Trevor, Christopher, Sonia, and Soleiyu.
As for other Castlevania characters that I would like to see in this, one that comes to mind is Soma Cruz.
