Chris Buffa (Modojo): Just because a company like Nintendo comes out with a powerful new handheld, doesn't mean developers should break from tradition and try something drastic.
Case in point, the Castlevania franchise. Konami's monster whipping series has a shaky history on consoles, thanks to some unimpressive 3D games; that said, we enjoyed Lament of Innocence for PlayStation 2.
Castlevania’s twilight years were some of its best, but they were not enough to avert the dramatic end of the series as we knew and loved it.
Someone should fire to the lowest pit the guy on Konami that thought mobile gaming was the future and destroyed MGS, Castlevania and other franchises in the way.
This month's feature looks at one of the great handheld Castlevania titles.
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are among some of the best Koji Igarashi titles that fans can play while they wait for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night to release on June 18.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Steam reviews are very positive 9/10. I'm going to buy it for Switch though. I want to also play on the go, and at work :D
Damn didnt know Bloodstained just released. Will get it on switch
Yeah I'm REALLY loving what little I've played of it so far and this is coming from someone who hasn't been too impressed with what has been shown of the game, guess metroidvania plays better than they look.
I doubt they will make it 3d for portable consoles. IGA understands what works. As far as I know, 3d has only been done in home consoles and not in portable consoles.
