    So true. I felt I got a taste of what that could be like with Odin Sphere for PS2. Really beautiful 2D work in that game.

    I love Castlevania, LOVE it, and when I was thinking Wii Castlevania, LOTS of different possibilities ran through my mind, but not THIS one. What a slap in the face and a waste of what could have been.

    Further proof that this game will be awful.

    Is Dracula wearing a dress?
    I don't remember Simon Belmont wearing leather jogging shorts either.
    And if you can't give Alucard a cape why even bother putting him in there?

    Then again you could call these characters anything -if it disn't say "Simon Belmont" or "Maria" or whatever I would have no idea that was who these guys were supposed to be.

    I'm with KP. Order of Ecclesia is as good as mine. The last 3D Castlevania was a bomb.

    The nintendo version, XBOX's was ok.

    QFT once again. The new Wario game is 2D and that looks all kinds of awesome.
    As for this, one big pass.

    Man, I can't... it's all bad. They all have bad designs, but having Alucard capeless AND the face of a two year old girl is almost enough to make me not touch this game. Unfortunately, I'm such a fan of Castlevania that I'll have to get this and hope that at least the music and environments do some justice. Raphael in Soul Caliber looks 10 times more like Alucard then the "guy" in this trailer.

    Yeah this seems pointless.

    The fighting game genre (save a few of the established titles) needs to go away. It's so 1995.

    Interestingly enough... Many people feel the same way about side scrollers.

    Fighters suck.
    I am so sick of them.

    Side scrollers are the worst, too.
    Left, left, left X, X, X, Y.
    Whatever.
    Leave em in the past.

    I think I am going to go play some Soul Calibur and Castle Crashers before I go to bed.

    Actually I love side scrollers, however for the most part they are considered out of date.

    It wasn't until Viewtfull Joe came out that they started to be accepted again.
