I'm just wondering why it's so important to play on a specific console. I know you have a PS4, so is the game only worth it if it shows up on a Nintendo system?  Is it because of the option for the smaller screen?  Or is it more for principle?


For me personally its about principal. But I'm not looking at it from only my perspective really as a whole.  I'm stating if someone has a Wii U(and no other console) then why should they just back the kickstarter just to do it? as previously stated in another post. That would not be very smart nor beneficial to the user itself.

Back to my stance about it though from a personal perspective. I grew up with Castlevania on Nintendo consoles and that's where I'd personally prefer to play it. This is also the asme reason why I bought games like Ducktales Remastered on Wii U and not other platforms because I have the attachment to play that certain series on a specific platform.

That feeling is no different than the people who prefer to buy Final Fantasy,Metal Gear,Kingdom Hearts etc etc on Sony consoles specifically due to that's the system they've always familiarized franchises with.

First, yeah, I definitely meant for people who are owners of multiple consoles. Don't pledge for this unless you're confident it will release on a system you own.

Second, I kind of understand where you come from. All things being equal, I suppose I would pick the console that I felt the series "belonged" on.  I, too, grew up on Nintendo Castlevania games. One of my first NES games was Castlevania 3.  And let's not forget those 6 great GBA/DS games from 2001 to 2008.  But generally, all things aren't equal.  Sure, even though this is only a 2D game, that doesn't mean the versions will be equal. Child of Light is proof of that. It's kind of a "wait and see" situation.

As it stands right now, I'm undecided on which version to get. I've pledged for the 150 dollar tier, so I'm getting the physical game, and leaning back and forth between PS4 and PC.  But if the hypothetical Wii U version ended up being on par with the other versions, I'd definitely consider it, if for nothing else other than having the option for the smaller screen.  All I know is, I WILL be playing the game. The console I play it on, is just one of the details to be ironed out.
