PSVITA is hitting the final nail on the coffin and Dev are jumping ships. I am just hoping that in the future, they make another portable.

Vita died about 2 years ago. Also why would Sony make another portable???? all their profit is in the home console market. They can never beat Nintendo in the portable space because of Pokemon, Mario, Zelda etc.

[Araragifeels]

PlayStation New Ceo mentioned that they haven't given up on portable but it doesn't mean that they have to do a traditional portable. I am open with a portable that can play Home Console games but is it own thing platform like PSVR and is still part of the home console.

Wow! Another delay for a game that's been in development for how long now?

Seriously, they put out the 8-bit version before this.

[Neonridr]

8-bit version was a prequel game and much, much smaller in scope.

[Concertoine]

Also outsourced to a different studio.

[Neonridr]

@Jaruren - are you my new stalker now? Geez, I'm flattered buddy.

I never said anything about the Vita but thanks. I actually own a Vita, although my primary reason for buying it was for Remote Play with my PS4. Care to troll a little harder next time?

Like the previous commentors, the prequel was a small 8-bit style game in the vein of classic Castlevania games which was developed by the publisher of this game, Inti Creates. Personally, I'm glad it's been delayed. I'd rather them have time to polish up the game than to rush it out. Kinda bummed about the Vita version though. I backed it for the PC version and since I don't have a Switch, would have been nice to play this game on the go.

And also I think the prequel game was a stretch goal in the kickstarter

[PhoenixUp]

Vita owners get snubbed

[leahcim]

Remote Play exist!

[GameBoyColor]

Lol

[Blu3_Berry]

I'm cool with it. It's looking great so far.

[MWH]

far from it, perhaps this explains the delay.

[Spurg]

Even Sony adandoned the vita.
I hope new gen they try to compete with the switch and give us something with more substance.

About the game though....I'm really disappointed that they chose a 3d sidescrolling artstyle. There are countless indie games out there that nail the metroidvania gameplay and artstyle, I can't grasp my they haven't followed the same artstyle as the SOTN.

[kevnb]

I’m not sure why they did so quickly, it was actually a pretty good device.

[Razmiran]

Sony abandoned the vita like 3 days after releasing it
I still love it, have a lot of jrpgs, but It didnt get a lot of support from sony

[shinoff2183]

What do you mean with more substance?

[Born2Game83]

@Razmiran stop talking shit. At least try to educate yourself a little, just a little before typing. Sony did abandon the Vita, but it was after year or so.

[Spurg]

...I think he was being sarcastic

[Blastoise]

Gradually losing faith in this project.

[ChickeyCantor]

Because of Vita?
You'd rather have a rush job like mighty#9?

[Tapani]

Good! Finish the game in peace and make it a masterpiece without too many bugs. Take your time. Too many games release a year early without polish nowadays.

[sypher]

Seems like the decision was based upon Sony themselves stopping cart manufacturing.

The more troubling issue is the apparent development hell this game has been in for a while now... it's taking as long as a AAA game at this point lol

[fluxmulder]

This looks like one of the better run Kickstarter game projects. It could be a lot worse. At least it's coming out in the near future, and they're not asking for more money to continue development.

[rashada07]

switch!
