Classic Castlevania-Style Prequel Game For Bloodstained Revealed, Releases Very Soon

Im tired of these new 8 bit games. Alteast make em 32 bit like SOTN or megaman X4. They still look great.

looks like it wont be May 24 anymore accordig to GameFAQS the release date is now June 6th

Would love this for my 3ds :) hopefully its good

I bet it ends up being better than Bloodstained

Castlevania III is awesome. Used to beat it every morning before school.

I will get this on Xbox One X!

I would just be happy if they finish Bloodstained.

Looks more like 4-bit.

I'll bite on it still.

That's awesome it's coming to so many platforms...it gives them a chance to road-test each version.

I think I'll have to charge up the Vita for this.

Back then, I was never able to beat Castlevania 3. Playin a more modern version with probably be better with faster controls, I will probably enjoy this one a lot.

So, not only do we get a new sotn style igavania, we also get a castlevania 3 style game to boot? Can't wait!

this prequel game looks better than the full game, ritual of the night! i do not like the cheap looking 3d models they are using in ritual of the night or how slow its animations are. this 8 bit game on the other hand looks much more fluid and i prefer the sprite based aesthetic. i do wonder how long it is, though. i bet it is under 5 hours but at $10 not too bad.

I just realized that the vast majority of what I've been really excited for on PS4 has been older style games like Stardew Valley, Sonic Mania, Resogun, and now this. Kind of weird when I think about it.

I still think there's a market for a Dreamcast 2. Just keep the technology simple and focus on making fun old school style games. Bring back Virtua Tennis and the 2k Sports series while we're at it!

But I digress. Curse of the Moon looks like a fun title worth 10 bucks.

Nice!

It’s 2018. Why would anyone play an 8bit sidescroller now when there are so many beautiful indie sidescrollers out?

I hope this means that Bloodstained Ritual of the Night will soon follow.

I personally dont care about this Curse of the Moon 8 bit game, but that does not mean I dont want it to sell well.

Power to IGA and everyone working on everything related to Bloodstained.

headsup, update your survey if you're over 28 pledge

I think it's funny how Konami is not suing this clone. Following the logic of these projects (considering that recent kickstarter mega-man clone that I forgot the name), as a developer you can make a virtually identical game based on a famous (or nostalgic) IP, change a little visual thing or two, that's it... You can't be sued? So for example, I can make a Shinobi clone, but instead of a white ninja, I use a green ninja and call him "Swiftstreak" or something like that and I can make some profit using the Shinobi nostalgia and their fans?

So when is bloodstained actually coming out?

I believe in you Igarashi! Operation Akuma!

I'm more interested in this game then Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. The reason is that I love the classic Castlevania games rather then the Metroidvania style games that started in Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Hope they make a 16 bit version one day that plays similar to Super Castlevania 4.

Looks AMAZING! Anyone who has ever loved "Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse" must be creaming their jeans right alongside me!

Above and beyond what I expected from a Kickstarter goal, makes me even more excited for the main game if they were able to peel off time and energy to make this.

This... actually looks amazing. And it doesn't seem too difficult, which is nice. I love the SOTN-like 2D Castlevanias, but the old ones were just a bit too hard for my liking, mostly due to the limited moveset and jump/attack angle. But count me in on this. Also, that character switching mechanic is really cool, it adds character and depth to the moveset.

A new game I really want and it comes out in 12 days for super cheap? Tonight is a good night.

Looks really cool!

Bloodstained will be my game of the year, can't wait to play it and this appetizer
