Because there's no way Konami was going to let Capcom one-up them in the wtf departement with NES-style Mega Man 9.

I remain cautiously optimistic, but prepared for the worst. Hopefully, the motion controls will be optional.
Looks interesting. Very interesting. :kitty:
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Seriously, wow, that was really unexpected - a Castlevania fighting game? Wow.
So very, very terrible. In addition to being perhaps an even worse idea than MK Vs. DC, it also has some truly hideous character design. I mean really, the male characters all look like they climbed out of somebody's yaoi fan fiction, and the one female character I've seen isn't any better.
I have to agree with DDX. While I love CV, this idea can't be good. It won't likely live up to the CV name.
I read the big article in Nintendo Power earlier today, and I thought it was pretty interesting. I have to agree that the streamlining of the character designs are bleh at best. (we can all blame Takeshi Obata for that :shrug: ). NP shows 5 of the confirmed fighters--
Simon: looks to be a yaoi fanboy's dream 😞
Alucard: looks ok, and the use of the familiar system was a good call
Maria: fugly and a stupid looking staff; it would have helped to if she actually looked like her
Shanoa: unlockable via DS-to-Wii connection
Dracula: is there resembelance of him from any of the games?
It looks like the game is going to go over great, or it will be epic fail.

I think that fans...will see that it stays true to the Castlevania series. Even though this is a fighting game I can guarantee it will be funWe'll see...

I don't, in all honesty, see how this game could go over great. I'm expecting it to fall flat on its face...or be a mediocre game that ends up selling about as well as all the other 3D Castlevania titles. When was the last time a 3D Castlevania title went over great? Never? Oh yeah.
