HOLY SHIT!!!  This seriously sounds fucking epic and I can’t wait, this better be good!!!  I’M JIZZING EVERYWHERE!!!

nice hose

I dunno, my thoughts on this are pretty...meh. Potential for fail is pretty high.

Potential for win is high too...if they do it right.  Who knows if they’ll do it right though.

i like castlevania.

You know it will be total shit. But I sure hope I’m wrong.

This looks terrible. I’m biased against 3D fighters in general, but this looks exceptionally terrible.

This looks terrible. I’m biased against 3D fighters in general, but this looks exceptionally terrible.

What have you seen on it?  I’ve only seen the one screenshot and that surely isn’t enough to judge on but if there’s a video I want to see it.

Doesn’t look too appealing to me, also not a huge 3d fighter fan, plus I never got too deep into the Castlevania series.

I don’t like 3D fighters really either but it’s Castlevania which I do like.

I haven’t seen any gameplay footage, but it mostly seems like a terrible idea to me. It’s obvious fanservice, and I doubt the fighting engine is going to be very deep at all. It’s like when they made that one Star Wars fighting game. Basically, it is going to be a shoddy Tekken clone with Castlevania characters instead. Not to mention motion, controls for a fighter is going to be terribly awkward.

yeah i’m gonna have to agree with jon on this one.

dont get me wrong… i love me some castlevania too… but what i love about castlevania isnt pressing combos to be the shit out of dracula… while some enemies interfere with the fight in the middle of it. i love jumping on platforms and killing bats and using my whip and holy water and the magic and backtracking and solving puzzles… not 3d fighting.

it’s quite clear this is going to be a tekken clone like jon said… except with a few things added in… like your fight being interrupted by some pesky ass werewolf or something.. all just to make it seem like a “better fighter”

also, i’m gonna call it now… the controls will be clumsy

yeah if they’re putting waggle controls on it, it’s gonna be a crap fighter.

but who knows, ten years from now it might be a die-hard collectible, just because its gonna be so wacky. maybe people will buy it as a long-term investment.

I’m not saying it’s going to be a 10/10 but some games are still fun as hell despite not being perfect.  Sometimes the quirkiness alone makes it fun and I like the idea of enemies and items during the match.  Generally waggle controls are optional, and if it sucks it sucks but I’m looking forward to seeing some gameplay footage.
