Kickass! Konami finally announced the new Castlevania for the Playstation 2. Console Gold has the scoop: http://www.consolego...ex.shtml#castle

There's been some talk about sequels and rehashes lately, but a new Castlevania I certainly don't mind
Anyone else looking forward to it?

[MegaManFan]

Of course! I'll be first in line at the store when it goes on sale.

[Xot]

Depends. When's it coming out for GameCube?

[z28in82]

WOO-HOO castlevania for PS2 this just made my week

[Miqorz]

Man I hope they style the game like Rygar for PS2 I think that it'd be perfect for transforming another side scrolling 2-d game.

But yeah that's just MY opinion and yes I will be buying it no matter what.

[angrybrit]

It's needs to come out for the GameCube not the PS2.

[MattyXB]

The site is not working by me.

I will see the info.

The important question - when's it coming to the XBox!?

[StanJr]

No. It MUST come out for Gamecube. I mean, my first 3 Castlevania games were on a Nintendo product! Come on!

Yea but wouldn't it be cool if it came out on the XBox #3?

[Mikau]

This surprises me alot...

People here may know that I love Nintendo. Alot. Maybe more than some of you love Atari (but probably not.) But I think I'm the only one that doesn't want to play Castlevania on a GC/ with a GC pad. I just got used to SotN on my Dual Shock (which disconnects every 30 seconds or so, thank you for crappy hardware Sony!)

Why? Imagine playing a Castlevania or other side-scroller with a GC controller. The button config would be fine, but I can't see it with an analog stick. I guess it's just personal. But those SNES looking controllers might be an answer.

But will Konami support all systems fairly and give the GC more than Disney Sports titles? No, they don't like to be fair. That's why Substance is on everything but the Cube (xbox, ps2, pc, and for the hell of it, maybe it'll make it to the GBA).

Foxy, at times, I would swear you work for Microsoft.

[Dracula-X]

Ultimately I don't care if it comes out for box/cube/ps2 as I have them all. It's just good to have another Castlevania in the works, period Although I do think I'd prefer playing it with my DualShock, I'm most comfortable with that one...

Another link for those that didn't/couldn't read the initial link, this time from konami's site itself: http://www.konami.co.../releases.shtml

Next to Capcom, the waving colors were my favorite logo in all of gaming. Yes, that's right, more than Atari. Actually I miss the old Electronic Arts logo the most, with the three colored 3-D shapes.

[z28in82]

Well I guess I'll be the only one to say it but I hope it stays 2-D, I think the 3-D N64 version sucked in only the most horrible sense of the word. I still love SOTN, got my saturn only to play Dracula-X.

Too bad they are Japan only,and just got pushed back a month. Better be worth the wait...

What SNES looking controllers?

[Mikau]

Here it is. It's being made for the Game Boy Player, and probably won't even be usable for GC games, since there's no c-stick or analog stick/analog shoulder buttons. It might come to America, and if so will be pretty cheap (probably $15 or so.)

March 21 in Japan they come out.If they do come to America,you never know ,Hori sure as hell wouldn't bring them here,and I doubt Nintendo would.Anyways they are only $15 import,well worth it.

That thing looks pretty damn sweet. Even if they aren't sold here directly, I still plan to get one!

If they paid me enough I'd work for them. Hell I'd work for anyone for the right price!
But really I'd rather the game came out for GC or XBox. I don't know how I'll bring myself to play it on the PoS2. When I want to play a game I go to the XBox first, because my best current gaming experiences have been with it. Although I just got Eternal Darkness cheap and I can't wait to play it!

But... that doesn't make much sense... if it was only meant for the Gameboy thing, then why would they stick X and Y buttons on it?

Without analog sticks, it won't be usable for ALL games, but any games that work with the digital stick will probably work fine with this I imagine... Although unless it's cheap, I certainly wouldn't pay for something I could only use for certain games...
