I bet Wii U version will be cancelled. I'm not really surprised, this MightyBlood №10 was bad idea from the start. 

And people still shits on Konami or any other publisher for their strict control over developers.

Well shit. I will get my Miyamoto meme ready for this one too.

I really hope this one turns out to be awesome though. I want another castlevania type of game T_T

These games are too ambitious for their own good it seems.

I just want more of the same we saw in SotN, the 3 GBA games, and the 3 DS games. Just a simple 2D ass Castlevania game.

Well lets hope we can play Shenmue 3 before 2020.

I think this game will be amazing regardless of the delay

Oh my, that seems like a big delay. What was the original traget date?

While this is disappointing, a delay to 2018 may be worth the wait for a game that could be made excellent with more time.

March 2017 I believe.

Well this is a stinker, Wii U will for sure miss out now. Could we possibly see a NX version instead?

Since the Wii U is dead in the water, you can sure it's already cancelled. Overal this delay is certainly not good:

Maybe NX can get it if that indeed launches in 2017 :p.

where do you know? they allready showed 3DS gameplay which is also pretty much dead like the Wii U

It isn't so much restrictive controlling. It's stupid decision making. Konami had a good Castlevania team. They then decided to give Castlevania to a western developer because they felt it could be their next Metal Gear Solid. Since that happened, the series has gone down in quality. The same thing happaned with Silent Hill. Good management isn't about being strict or relaxed. It is about knowing when to interveine and knowing when to leave everyone alone. There is no reason why the Castlevania team should have had the series taken away from them and then a prominent producer like Koji Igarashi be put in charge of obscure mobile projects.
