Schwaltzvald Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Are you saying there have not been any bad titles for the wii?Because my wii had about 3 inches of dust on it before I started using it again for SSB. At least for purchased titles anyway... Try reading more clearly I did say if I'm gonna have one meaning actually consider buying a bad title. nice failure to think before you post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 So, I feel like I'm the only one with the "lets wait and see" attitude. Basically, I have 3 categories of upcomming games: "Don'T care" "Lets see when it comes out." "Dear lord I have to buy this." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilhead Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Castlevania is one of my favorite game series of all time and I love 3D fighters so I'm not getting my hopes up but I'd like to give it a try. Still, Konami doesn't have a history of making good fighters, so unless they get some kind of good development team in there it's probably going to be a sub-par engine, though I thought the fighting system in the PS2 Castlevanias weren't half bad. Although the fact that it's coming out for the Wii pretty much guarantees it's going to be shallow and annoying. It will probably be a generic Soul Calibur ripoff with lots of remote wagglin'. God the Wii is retarded... But still, I'd like to give it a shot, but I won't be buying a Wii for it, that's for damn sure. Here's hoping for Maria as a playable character though!

Nekofrog Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I think this would be so much more badass if the art style wasn't animu and was more of the old-style gothic CV style. oh man that would be so visually sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverCoat Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm not uninterested because it's a fighting game, in fact that's a cool idea, but... they ruined Maria Here is the old maria: fapfapfapfap the new Maria is a victim of the fucking moeblob cancer destroying japan Also, now Alucard looks like a girl, Simon looks way too, uhh... I dunno. His clothes look like they belong on someone 1/4th his age... and Dracula's got some way tacky golden armor tracksuit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindra Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I cringe at the idea of what they plan to do with my beloved Trevor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilhead Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 FYI, that is the NEW Maria. The original Maria was a little cute anime girl from Rondo of Blood. She is made of kittycats and win. I do like the newer, older SoTN Maria better, but it seems like they will be going back to the originals this time around. And Alucard has always looked like a girl.

JCvgluvr Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Alucard's only hint of manlyness came from his english voice actor. His looks are completely female: http://bishounen.info/alucard/alucard3.jpg Why can't the japanese create a proper male hero who looks the part?

The Pezman Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I lost all faith in them to do anything 3d related to castlevania ever. I liked Lament of Innocence and want to play Curse of Darkness. I think they were pretty good. Lesser versions of DMC, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His looks are completely female:http://bishounen.info/alucard/alucard3.jpg Why can't the japanese create a proper male hero who looks the part? Because the Japanese are VERY into androgyny. I still don't think he looks like a girl. Long hair /= girl. Also in regards to Castievania, keep in mind that they use-you know what? I'm too lazy to give a detailed explanation. The point is, it fits. Just trust me on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calpis Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I think it has the potential to be a fun game, and I'm usually totally against inappropriate game genre cross-overs and whoring out franchises. I just hope that the fighting engine is NOTHING like Soul Caliber's. I hate playing those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I liked Lament of Innocence and want to play Curse of Darkness. I think they were pretty good. Lesser versions of DMC, I'd say. If I wanted DMC, I'd play DMC. Repetative castle design mixed with horrible plot minus memorable characters is not a fun castlevania game for me.

Salluz Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Well, it better be cool, and I hope CV isn't doing something that it shouldn't. I think this would be so much more badass if the art style wasn't animu and was more of the old-style gothic CV style.oh man that would be so visually sweet. Taste +1.

JCvgluvr Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I still don't think he looks like a girl. Long hair /= girl. I'm not just talking about Alucard's long, golden locks. Look at his thin eyebrows. His darkened eyes. His petite nose. It just screams "feminine." Even Simon suffers from this in SOTN. Gimme a man's man anyday! Androgyny FTL.

But seriously, I agree that androgyny is annoying. It's especially annoying when you see it in EVERY DAMNED Japanese game save for a few mentions here and there, but the main character is usually some kind of girly-looking man. In the case of Castlevania, Ayame Kojima's art lends greatly to the gothic themes present in the series. Are they a bit more girly than one would like? Probably, but for now let's forgive it. It still looks pretty damned cool anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have long colored hair, wear lots of jewelry, dress in a particular way, and have small, sharp, feminine features. This is just the image of what is cool/attractive for a lot of Japanese people, hence it reflecting in the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, ours is just as guilty, if not more so. Just for different reasons. At least Mario has one of the manliest mustaches known to...man!

The Legendary Zoltan Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's crazy because Japanese people are not only into those androgenic characters, but real life men who happen to be really "pretty" are STILL gettin' famous left and right over here. When is it going to end?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Simon suffers from this in SOTN. Gimme a man's man anyday! Androgyny FTL. I've not played anything past CV64 (and legacy of darkness), so this discription really REALLY confuses me. What the hell did they do to Alucard??? Aside from being frail, he was badass and manly in Dracula's Curse. And none of this golden locks BS.

JCvgluvr Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Rambo, you did look at the picture I posted of him, didn't you? That's what he looked like in SOTN. Evilhead, I'm just saying, what strange breed of Japanese chick just up and decided one day that a man that looks like a girl is hot? That'd be like if the entire population of American men started finding woman body builders attractive. It simply goes against biological nature.
