My God, can you guys do some kind of research before posting anything. There has been plenty of Castlevania titles release on the Nintendo systems, the problem is they don't sell either. It's not a popular franchise period. Nice going comparing a hardcore Castlevania franchise to Casual games made by Ninendo, lol |
First of all, those are empty, meaningless terms. What exactly is "hardcore" or "casual" gameplay? Nobody can ever seem to answer that..Also, even if those terms DID hold any water, the fact that you actually refer to Mario or DKC as casual shows you know little about what they really mean. My point is these games are similar in their style of arcade gameplay.
And if I am looking at these #s correctly, the top three selling Castlevania games are on Nintendo consoles. Order of Ecclesia on DS also sold comparably to LOS on PS3 and better than the 360 version.
I have to admit I am shocked at how low the sales of the franchise are, I didn't realize the best selling Castlevania games only sold in the 600ks. Then I guess I will revise my statement to "a 2D Castlevania will have relative success on the Wii compared to HD consoles."
