Castlevania Japanese Arcade Game Hands-On

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

you bastard! you made me cry too!:cry:

.... sorry for calling you a bad name omega.

:cry::cry::cry::cry:

hate to rain on your parade of tears...but that might be coming to Okinawa soon. it seems its still in Tokyo...

but when i get a chance to play it...i'll let you guys know.

*its sometimes good to live in Japan

this game seems great its to bad that the arcades in usa suck, but i hope that will change after sf4 maybe konami will make this game here elbert_b_23

arcades in the US kinda do blow...here, we have Sega which is basically a large arcade with tons of Sega games in it. we have Dragon Palace which have a large assortment of games. those place, and pachinkos have a ton of gambling games like slot machines. all of them are very common, well known areas for hanging out.

when i went to the states...they had all these OLD games and it was kinda depressing. i read an article stating that since video games are in the home...nobody goes to arcades anymore in the US. so when i have to leave Japan...its one of the many things im going to miss.

also...i wonder how this game plays

Dat sum kojima I spy?

If not her, its at least a very similar style.

Oi , hush, you do understand that your living in japan requires you to play and record the entire game, yes?

EDIT: Video of said cabinet

:shock: :shock: :evil: :? :cry:

@Omega: why did you show us this?? why??!?!? why knowing that we would never be able to put our hands on this one.. ( exc Hush.. I CURSED you, unless you tape this WITH DETAILS!! :P ... actually... I`m NOT jk ... ) ... thus great find, but I think I would have like to be kept in the dark this time. :lol:

Yea... I agree with you guys, ARCADE NA NEEDS this stuff in here, I do not care that they come as import (no translated)...

@Alucard: agree.... Thus I`m happy with them bringing both :lol: C`mon Nintendo, this would be SWEET!!!

.. OK that it is, we have to start writing to Nintendo :lol: and Konami :lol:

... SWEEET video... :cry: :cry: ... OK... so anyway of me getting to JP just for one weekend to play that?? *god pls let taht think to come to NA, or even better to come to teh Wii*

@hush: read above.. and read Semi`s comment... WE MEAN IT!! and enjoy the game, blahbllha... :P

for the union i will take pics of it...i dunno about recording it though...like the quality of it...cuz i would have my friend use their camera to do that...but i will try my best.

well, i have plans to go to the arcade and play some pool...an karaoke this weekend with friends. so when i go to Sega or Dragon palace...i will look out for it... if its not out yet i will ask when it will get here.

So I found a comment, that was one of my 1st thought and I could not agree more when I saw this arcade thingy... I quoted the comment of one of the members in kotaku.com (BelmonHeir, obvious a CV fan)

...I think the backlash against this game is, in fact, warranted - or at least not surprising. Castlevania fans have been clamoring for years and *years* for a Castlevania console game that delivers a similar experience (re: a similar awesomeness) as the 2-D handheld games. The Wii comes out and opens up the opportunity for some sweet motion-sensing whip action. And, instead...we get a 3-D fighting game with horrendous character designs that somehow manage to out-buckle the Kingdom Hearts cast. To add insult to injury, Konami goes and releases a Castlevania arcade cabinet which is apparently awesome and which, coincidentally, uses a motion-sensing whip controller(!).

I mean.. c`mon!!! I get WTH?!?! about really few thing in videogame world... but C`mon :? I mean why no doing this for teh Wii??

I even made a thread about it in the wii forum, this have me all :(

JP gets (again) an exclusive CV and this time we have teh way of getting the game if they would like to.. (tru WiiWare or VC or whatever...) but no news are said about it... Just another arcade that we would not get..

Maybe I`m being neg today, maybe I`m tired... how kows we may hear a GREAT surprise soon, eventually.. but I`m not yping about it, nor hoping anything... specially now that we have 2 NA CV release (I LOVE OoE, and would enjoy some CV:J) but getting this one at some point would be great..

..........

@Hush: :D Thx :D (I`ll added it to the guide at some point)

@Omega: at least you play it... I have not and I would love to...

this actually reminds me of a samurai game i played(in an arcade) you take a sword an swing it at the screen....pics up motion...yada yada...fun stuff. theres even one where you are a cop...and you have to move your body around to dodge enemy fire...good workout.

but this mess is two player...sweet...maybe i can finally turn my friends into CV fans as well

well, today i went to the arcades...an they have yet to be released...an silly'ol me, i realized as i entered Sega...they wouldnt have a Konami game. but Dragon Palace is nto sure when it will be comin here(okinawa)...soon or later in the summer they said.

i'd go to other arcades...but they are kinda shady...yakuza shady...:|

US arcades dont suck it just depends on where u live of course the best ones are in the various china towns arcoss the US. Chances are if the game does come here it wil be in the form of a wii game not an arcade game

If it uses a motion-sensing whip controller, maybe it'll get ported to Wii? If it does, it'll probably not be until 2013 tho...Icemael

true.. but that is something... maybe no 2013, but 2010.. I would like to hear the news about it thus... :P

oh yea.. the article said that is "comming soon" but we do not now when. You would be there in summer so :)

Do not go to some shady arcade place (that is like saying bad/adngerous neighbordhood, right? ) we do not want that anything bad happens to you :) our JP representative :) It would go to the one close to you eventually or to a no-shady one :)

he ment compare to JP... specially for CV/horror fans.. we do not get any here :(

but yea.. maybe it was a strong word :P

yeah, Japanese games are 100yen (depending on the exchange rate...its less than a dolla) to play. an some games have special card/keys that go to the game an can save your data...so thats an extra 300-500 yen(i have a bunch of cards an car keys for racing games).

the shady place just seem shady but there games are only 50yen to play. but i'd hate to get into a fight or something...an people start losin pinky fingers...:?

but yeah...im gonna be haunting around arcades waiting for this game. i hope they have a card of something so you can keep your data...so if you leave an comeback...put in that card, an you can be right where you left off
