A Julius Belmont Castlevania game?

I've been thinking, I was playing Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, and actually finished it for the first time.. And some of the dialogues of the game really mention that Dracula will be revived in the year 1999...

And when you play Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow or Dawn of Sorrow, the year is already 2035, you already know later in the game that Dracula was already killed and sealed on the year 1999..

if you check some of the other threads, you'll see that many of use have already asked for that, and thought that OoE might fulfill our wishes.

but i'm interested in what you have in mind for the gameplay.

1: OoE is not the 1999 game. It takes place prior to Bloodlines and Post SotN. That said, we will doubtlessly get info on why the hell the morris' get the whip in OoE.

2: If they don't make it, fools run Konami. That game has reached legendary status in the series. It WILL be released, and it WILL be sexy.

yea.. shauny (I think) knows that.. before we know much about it, we were hoping that the "new" game was about 1999.. back when we barely knew a thing about the game...

@Vahnsan: yeap... the battle of 1999 is like one of the major wishes to be done by CV fans.. and like Semi said.. it WILL be AMAZING!!! I mean konami CAN NOT do that wrong, it would be jumping up and down over every heart of CV fans... playing like a "younger" Julius BELMONT (playing like a belmont again also) and finally seeing what happen in 1999... it would be priceless... and IT HAS TO HAPPEN... :oops:

And I`m with semi, this one at least may tell what is going on with the morris and the VK...

and I`m still hoping that the wii one would give us something about it... the battle I mean...

I'm hoping Shauny knows its not the 1999 game, but regardless, I'm tired of seeing people (on other forums) saying "ZOMFG IZ DIS TEH 1999 GAM?"semianonymous

yea.. kow what you mean.. is like some ppl that last week 1st learn that they would be a wii game... like a rumor that they just heard of :?

But hey... do not get sick of it.. no everyone is like us hunting every single lil news about CV :P :lol:

and I think he knows.. if not... oh well.. now he does :P

so what you about the changes of the wii one being relate or telling us a bit more about that battle??

If I am reading that right, are you asking for me to list all the info I can think of about 1999?

sorry.. i just read my Q.. i`m tired.. that do not make even to me... what I was trying to say..

Which are the changes of the Wii CV game comming up (or the ps3/360 that Omega point out) would be related to the 1999 battle... could we hope for that?? specially the wii one that is "around" the corner...

Still not entirely sure what your question is asking, but I'll do what I can.

Since the Wii game will doubtlessly have interconnectivity with OoE, we -may- be seeing glyphs returning in the Wii game. I say this because, honestly, I can't think of any other way for interconnectivity beyond Glyph-Trading. This could mean that we'll see the Order become something of a major player.

and actually, I can see EXACTLY how it would work too. Remember St. Germain?

In OoE: He appears as something of a quest deliverer or hint bringer or something. Once you beat the game, he will inform you that there is a great battle happening some 150-odd years in the future, and she can aid by donating her glyphs.

In CVWii: (Since he did say he was going to the future to see the great battle and all) He aids Julius and Co., and at various points in the game, allows you to trade glyphs only found in CVWii to OoE, in exchange for Glyphs only found in OoE.

Basically, they get glyphs that aren't normally available in the game, which can be used to unlock side quests, or just be awesome fun.

Control wise, I'm hoping we could see use of the Sideways Wiimote, so we could have an entirely 2D game work well. D Pad moves around, 1 and 2 are for attacking, A is jump, B is...I dunno, the equivilent of R?

Now, if it was on the PS360, we'd have quite a bit of different things to look for. Much larger game, better visuals, etc. Better battle system as well, I'll bet, with access to all those extra buttons.

*crosses finger for semi`s hunch to be true*

Thus I would prefer 1 or 2 to jump.. jumping with A would be awkard imo..

Thus one question: if the germain goes into the battle to aid julius.. with the glyph, how would that work?? I mean Julius using them would be :? imo... Thus maybe I did not got you, if the glyph are just found the CVWii and no use by Julius that would be all good.... And I guess we could have a belnades in the 1999 using the glyph.. that would be sweet, no?

Remember a very key line from AoS, Chang:

"Yes. It was me, but there were others who assisted me."

We can assume Alucard (Or Genya, who knows), and a Belnades (presumably Yoko's mother), but who says thats it? Maybe we'll be seeing a decendent of Shoana, who can use glyphs appear.

yeap.. indeed... And I LOVE it... :)

and still have hope that shoana could be a belnades decendent.. after all, all we know is her code name.. I know dreaming is easy.. :(

but that could be cool... 2 belnades in dif times, and the germain just traveling bc the connection of them or whatever...

that said: now that I think about it... do you think that character would actually come back to the series?? I mean he was not love much in CoD by some fan... and overall CoD was dislike by most, so would they bring a character from there back??? hmmmm....

@semi, yeah, i know that it isn't 1999 game. i was just sayin that we thought it might be when it was first announced without plot details or screenshots.

but we should have all this stuff in 1999 game. hmm. can we call it something else, maybe better than 1999 game?

@ Shawn

Demon Castle Wars or the 1999 incident seem to be the official names they've gotten. I Like DCW best, honestly.

@Chang

He's too useful of a character to NOT come back.

Also, Choanix Belnades?

Afterall, the original translation was Choanix...

yea... I have not like the 1999 title, make it so obvious and plain... too simple.... and I like teh DCW.. Thus I would like more Haunted Castle War.. for reason no needed to be explain right??

I think it would be pretty sweet also :oops:

Of course, it most likely won't be called Castlevania: Demon Castle Wars. Instead, it will either be Castlevania: Judgement (yeah, you forgot about that one. Don't deny it) or Castlevania: ____ of the ____ / ____ of _____

what about Castlevania: End Of Eternity?

actually, i'm gonna make a thread about this.

Thx shauny.. :)

and yea is clear that we want... scratch that... we NEED!!! a game with julius and his battle :lol:

Who would you put as companions of Julius in that game???

Yoko's mother, who will play similarly to Yoko

Genya Arikado, who uses alucardish attacks, but never actually becomes alucard

unknown 4th member, who may use glyphs, if my theory is right.

I apologize for not replying that much in your replies guys, it's just that, I really enjoy reading you're threads, and you guys are already answering the Q's here..

Thinking of it already gives me goosebumps, it excites me.. Hehe.. I wonder.. :O

oh please... please... let it happen :D

and yea.. a belnades HAVE TO BE there... :P

the priest from the Habuka shrine should be a supporting character like mina.ShaunyP

yea.. that has to be there... we have not see this ppl anywhere so... we need to put a face to that :P

and maybe he would be more that mina.. or also a unlockable character to play some kind of side mission to seal dracula away :D :twisted: that would be too good :P

@vahnsan: nothing to say sorry about hon :) enjoy...

whos jeff

I think Jeff was from EarthBound.DynamicJumpIuff

oooh... thx I was wondering the same.... :?

Thus Shauny.. is imposible for simon to be in the game.. it would make no sense...

Thats funny, because I'm pretty sure playing as an axe armor invading a castle in the middle of WW2 wouldn't make that much sense either.

point taken...

But I would like this game, or a CV game.. that have kind of side story when you unlock new characters.. even if the gameplay is not as big...

So Alucard, Yoko and a really young soma? could be part of the story... and Simon I guess could be just a extra playable charater to go tru the same castle/story as Julius.. but with some different powers,..

You know what I mean, right??

@Omega: :P

I apologize for the double post, I didn't notice it... :(

About Soma.. I'm kinda curious with this.. If Soma is to be young here, he was already on his young age on AoS and Dos? So how could it happen that Soma would be there? Soma doesn't even know yet that he has the power of domination...

@Omega: Yeah, I kinda agree with that.. It would make the game more challenging...

EDIT: plz try to avoid making three new posts if it can be done on one. it makes the threads start to get trashy looking, and after so much of it, it might be closed. so just do what you can so we can keep the threads open for a while.

just to clear a few things up here,

1. Soma would be normal & would be a special character, unlocked for completing the game.

2. Simon would be a guest character like Richter and Maria in PoR.

3. Jeff is just a joke character like Pumpkin Head.

* serious atm

I think it would be cool if you were to find various characters, and have areas that only THEY can access... Bloodlines did a cool job of this... that is one of my favorite Castlevania games :D

What do you guys think of that?
OmegaAce1313

that is exactly what I have being trying to say.. noone listen to me now :cry:

e.g. soma do not have to have a whole play tru the castle, just a side story. where he discover his power really young. Thus that did not happen until later, but they could put something that fit.

Or a side story with Yoko...

you know how you always cross path with Yoko or Alucard, well.. we can have a gameplay of what they where doing until you (julious in this case) cross path with them (alucard and an belnades - not exactly yoko)...

I apologize for the double post, I didn't notice it... :(

About Soma.. I'm kinda curious with this.. If Soma is to be young here, he was already on his young age on AoS and Dos? So how could it happen that Soma would be there? Soma doesn't even know yet that he has the power of domination...vahnsan91

yea.. that would be a problem.. but they could put something that fit..

or they can just have some other character, no soma.. I would be OK with "parallel/simultaneous story" of Alucard and a belnades... I would be more that OK.. I will be thrilled.. :)

BTW: Vahnsan: .. aaaaawwww... do not :( ... is just letting you know, so you`ll try to avoid it. *here have a cookie*

@xemnas: thx for that last edit.... :)

ShaunyP

:lol:

1. ok

2. yea.. I would actually love that..

3. OMG.. that would be HILLARIOUS...

I don't Soma was born at that time even if he was he'll be nothing but a baby so he's out.Simon is a classic but Alucard will be in his place and no for Richter.Maybe ALUCARD,HA ha character,and my favorte old look DRACULA!....

I agree to being in 1999 when Julius Belmont finally destroyed Dracula...

yeap..

we have to see the 1999 battle....

and now that we have this ps3 game comming... could this be??? I know that it may be a direct sequel to SotN (thus Semi you did not said direct, just sequel so how knows... anyway...) Could it be?? COuld the dream of any CV fan come true...?

The great part about Julius is, of course, his awesome beard of manliness.
