It's amazing what they can do with the Nintendo 64's graphical power.

Yeah it kinda reminds me of dark rift for N64. That's not a good thing at all

People always claim that such and such game looks like it belongs on the N64. Do you actually remember the 64 graphics?

This is what Castlevania 64 looked like for reference:

Yeah, not the same.

It's called sarcasm. He doesn't literally think the game could have come out for the N64, but rather that the graphics are so terrible that to call them current gen would be a farce.

Or if he did mean it literally, he's a git. I believe in him though! I BELIEVE!!!

Marzz, I get what your saying, but looking at it. There isn't very much more difference then a slightly higher resolution...

The difference should be more like

Thank your faith BananaBoat, but I was being quite serious... just kidding. It looks decent, just not next gen. Calm down, there are poor looking games for every system...... The Wii just wants to be ahead in every category whether it's units sold or crappy games.

Nevar link to N64 Castlevania again, under penalty of me hating you for doing it!

I'm a CV fan as well, but I don't know if I can buy this without renting it first. Especially since the last Nintendo CV I liked was ARIA OF SORROW. :\

But see, that's been done (Namco just wants to remake the SW fighter anyways). Who we should be looking for is those hobbits and elves from LotR.

I actually kind of liked Castlevania 64, even though it was hard as hell.

This game, though, eh. It doesn't look all that great. I think I'll stick to Soul Calibur.

I forget, what was Konami's last fighting game? Surely it wasn't Deadly Arts on the N64, though that's kinda the vibe I get from these screenshots. I'd personally prefer another middling 3D adventure game over a fighter but I'm still intrigued for more.

You must have been expecting a 5-year-old's Crayola scribblings then.

WTF? Castlevania's supposed to be about exploration and freakin' hard puzzles and things. What's next, a game combining Legos with Star Wars? Crazy.

jeez, what idiot thought this was a good idea? IGA?

the Castlevania series is seriously going to hell. The only way to save it is to:

1. change the increasingly androgynous/fruity anime direction
2. focus on single-player games
3. not half-ass the development of 3d games (i.e., fire everyone responsible for some of the blandest, most repetitive environments I've ever seen in adventure gaming [see: Curse of Darkness]).

The characters design feels like Death Note somewhat the same, but really it's interesting though...
