Takeshi Obata Takes On ‘Castlevania’
Yes indeedy, Death Note and Blue Dragon Ral Grad artist Takeshi Obata is going to be doing the character designs for the newest Castlevania game, Castlevania: Judgment, according to Kotaku.
Unlike previous games in the franchise, Judgment is going to be a fighting game. Kotaku notes that the DS game Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia can unlock bonus content for the game. GoNintendo has more, including what that bonus content is, and a quote from game producer Kouji Igarashi, who promises that the genre-switch won’t harm the game’s quality.
I’m a bit worried about the genre-switch I don’t have a whole lot of faith. I mean I know this isn’t the best selling series or anything, but I don’t think this is a good choice to make. There is a lot of plot holes they need to get fixed, along with having a game in 1999, which according to the games time line is when Dracula is finally killed for good. I don’t think a fighting game can do that, though I almost feel bad now for joking about them doing a tactics game, it could be next now.
But I wanna whip skeletons and those damned Medusa Heads!!
Atl east the art will rock.
