Castlevania Judgement's going to be a waste. Come on, we don't need another Bleach wannabe kind of fighting game on the Wii, and that I've heard horror stories of. I don't see how shaking around the wiimote to do certain moves to be any kinds of fun whatsoever.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on the other hand, pretty much the best Castlevania out of the series, pretty damn close to if not beating Symphony of the Night.

Yeah, I stuck to the gamecube controllers, they're the way to go.

Future Games: My prediction for the new PS3 game is that it's going to involve Alucard going after Galamoth in some form in the future and will hopefully have the return of Saint Germain. That guy was so badass. I'm also expecting some sort of Chronicles remake of Dracula's Curse and wouldn't be surprised if the next 3D title or the one after, be it the previously mentioned one or a near future game would involve the war fought in 1999 and would probably feature both Julius and St. Germain, and maybe even Charlotte from Portrait of Ruin as main characters based on what was said in the games.

What I would really like to see and what i think would really revamp the series is an idea that i think would work really well. Lately all the castlevania games that have worked or haven't have all emulated other games, i.e. bleach, metroid, ocarina of time (sorta, the n64 ones) and devil may cry. I propose the next game clean up some of the mess the lament of innocence created by being set in the mid 15th century and star Sonia Belmont in some sort of massive game of her own featuring within it a remake of Castlevania Legends. I would love for this particular game to try to ape Twilight Princess in its style and scope. The main thing I want is a big game that reintroduced Sonia and discerns that Dracula and Mathias Cronqvist are two different people. I also like the idea of Trevor being
Alucard's son. What do you guys think?

Those are all good ideas. I hope they happen, haha.

As for me, I agre, there should be a 3D Castlevania game with a Twilight Princess scope, but should, for some reason, have the option to swithc between side-scrolling view, and Devil May Cry, style camera work. Not sure what that sort of camera work is called.

Reason I say this, is because of the nostalgia level Castlevania brings to me. I know so many Castlevania fans that will not deem a Castlevania game a true Castlevania game if it isn't side scrolling.

well, there's already a trailer out for the PS3 game that just features alucard standing on a hill. I would rater have over the shoulder third person a la zelda and especially combat on horseback.

Really? I have to see that trailer, I had no idea about it.

Horseback combat was great on Twilight Princess, hope they can add it to Castlevania.

not counting the beginning of rondo of blood...

Cool, thank you. I bought Dracula X Chronicles for PSP today, I've yet started it though.

Yeah, try to unlock everything, there's music tracks, the original verison of Rodno of Blood, a cool enhanced port of Symphony of the Night, and even the infamous Akumayjo Dracula X Peke (a bizarre, bright and sunny mini game that would become playable if you popped rondo into a turbo grafx with the wrong graphics card installed).

That last one, what the hell....?

It's a short level set to the tune of Op. 13 where you play as a cutesy, south park style richter fighting weird purple zombies until you get to the end and an equally weird maria greets you. In the chronicles version you get a command to press start to quite, in the original version it tells you that you need the newer graphics card.

Crazy, I'll try to unlock all that.

It's one of the last things you unlock, on one of your many runs through boss mode. to unlock everything you have to find all the hidden soundtracks and the hidden games in the levels, beat every boss, then, once it's unlocked, beat all three modes of boss rush under 20 minutes 3 times each. It's kind of a pain in the ass but considering how bad some of the new soundtrack is, the sound assign option can be really awesome.

I don't think I can do all that, oh my!

meh, if you've played the old school games it's not too bad. Especially if you're using maria in boss rush and you know how to chain her secret guardian sith move. Just keep in mind that to rescue annette in the new version, you have to rescue everyone else first.

I have no idea what you just said just now, but it sounds so cool...

I played the old games, but I kinda sucked at them, so I have a feeling this game might kick my ass.

There's a lot of shit to do
