No, you're just showing you haven't looked at the sales of ANY Castlevania game.

Can you fill in all those zero's for us so we can get a better sense of sales?  That would be helpful.

Im sure Konami wouldnt bother making over 25 different castlevania games over theses last 20 years if the sales blew.

I read this and my eyes widened.

If my hair was grabbable, I was going to literally pull it out. For FUCKS SAKE


LOL calm down man.

Honestly I found this hilarious, it's as if the other Wii Ware and Judgement wasn't really dark and brooding.  I admit the first 2 on the DS weren't but the third really tried to go back to the roots and was praised for it.  (also for the sales declining, that's kinda what sequels do, it's REALLY rare that a sequel sells better)

Poor choice of words, though I am a Castlevania fan, I'm not really caring about this game, I hope it turns out to be good since most 3D Castlevania games don't, but also making it into Bayonetta Castlevania edition isn't to my personal liking.  I just don't think action is a good route for the series especially if they're trying to appeal to the fans, if not then why keep the name?  Why not have the same theme but call it something else, I felt the same way about judgement though I was more okay with that simply because fighters are fighters and it's always fun to be like "well ___________ can beat _______!!!" it's great for "settling" those debates.

Keeping my eyes open but not expecting anything much like every 3D Castlevania since the N64 lol


Castlevania N64 was the last one I played, and I loved it.

I just really don't understand who is making the decisions in the industry. The lack of logic, reasoning, or any type of informed thought really blows my mind. It's like wow, who comes up with this BS. I wouldn't be surprised if they did this just for the hell of it. It makes no sense, that's the problem.

Wow.... I gotta stay outta Nintendo discussion for the next few days until E3 LOL The incessant industry trolling is starting to bother me way more than it possibly should. I mean every day, more mud is being slung around.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

But Kojima is supervising this one.


Then the real answer to this is obvious. Wii and DS doesn't support movie discs.

i don't care... I dislike "dark" (ooooooooh scary) games anyway.

Netflix begs to differ. 8*>

What is true though is that Wii owners don't support games that are glorified movies.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

That's an issue, because his "visions" typically haven't jived with me after MGS1.  I feel he has this effect I see with more creative people myself included, since I first saw this effect watching George Lucas's input in the original trilogy vs new trilogy I call it the Lucas effect.  Essentially a creative director can make an amazing product and it fit his imagination BUT the man needs people around him to channel that creative energy instead of him going hog ass wild doing whatever he feels like adding anything he wants because some things just don't work.

You need those down to Earth guys to tell you things like JARJAR IS THE MOST RETARDED AND UNINTENTIONALLY RACIST CHARACTER EVER CREATED!  They tell you things like HAVING RAIDEN AS A MAIN CHARACTER IS STUPID AND PEOPLE WILL HATE IT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MAKE HIM NUDE!  And finally that SPREADING THE STORY OF KINGDOM HEARTS ACROSS DIFFERENT PLATFORMS AND MAKING SIDE STORIES THAT MAKE THE OVERALL PLOT CONVOLUTED IS RETARDED!  Sorry but those are three prime examples of creative directors having too much freedom and not enough people telling them their ideas are retarded, thus making a better end product.

Don't think so, but we have glorified comic books.

Before i read this i didn't care that there was no Wii-version and i didn't expect it, but now i am kinda turned of this game. I think i am going to do with this game like i do with Capcom PS3-games, not buy it until i can get it second-hand so Konami won't get the money or sale

Disaster: Day of Crisis. IIRC the first time through is almost an even split between cutscenes and gameplay.

Ah. I've never played it since Nintendo didn't deem it America-worthy. x.o


Or they wanted to spare you the horror of this awful game
