Igarashi Down: Castlevania Says Farewell to the Pixel Dimension

Clint addresses some breaking news and pays respects to the departed Koji Igarashi and the ghostly posthumous rattles of pixel art.

Well, god damn. Here I was all set to unleash my malevolent fury upon the much beloved Nintendo corporation for their tireless quest to waste my entertainment space with lackluster home console offerings. Things changed. Five hundreds words into my most ebullient deconstruction of a video game company yet and a more tantalizing news tidbit has presented itself. The Nintendo postmortem will have to be suspended until next week, ideally after their Triple E press conference because I'd like to have plenty of coffin nails to spare. Presently it seems I have to respectfully pen a grief-wrought eulogy for a recently deceased friend. I'll keep it short and concise like all my classic eulogies. If you're a fan of Goodbye Annie: Cherished Family Dog and Humanity's Best Friend then you're in for a real treat.

After reading the header, I've deduced that this writer is a douche and an imbecile.

How is what magnum said spam?
If that comment was spam, so is this entire article.
It has been confirmed that LoS is the LAST in a series(Edit: Link: http://www.siliconera.com/2... ) , and Koga san isn't going to sit on his hands the rest of his life.
The Mods here(or whoever is responsible for this) need to chill.

When he stops making Castlevania, I stop playing it.. It would be a horrible shame if theres never a beautiful HD sprite based castle to platform ever again.. I screamed with anger when i saw the PS2 looking 3ds abomination.. Sure mercury steam may make a decent game for it but the full 2D hand drawn dream was the reason i bought that handheld system.. Now i have no use for it & will sell it if the game bombs or Igarashi doesnt make another in the near future

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218314d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia13d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

As long as it's not like Twin Snakes. And I hope they have the option to keep the original PSone voice tracks, which is a huge part of the appeal for me. The Twin Snakes voice tracks sounded worse, and had lame script changes as well.

Babadook798d ago

Of Course. Go straight to the near perfect source.

porkChop98d ago

It's likely going to be handled just like Delta.

just_looken98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

Its probably like resident evil 2 remake.

for those that do not know fans remade that game until the garage scene but then was shutdown by capcom a few years later bam RE2 hd remaster.

In 2016 fans used unreal engine up until the raven fight it was a full hd remaster square shut it down took everything so why not use there work.
