I think it looks pretty dope... not really sure what everyone else was expecting.

I'm ready for the demo.

Looks great so far. Seems to have everything I would want out it, and the fan service to sotn is immediately recognizable. Can't wait to play it!

Played and enjoyed the demo. The controls feel a bit laggy, but if that gets tightened up, we could have a winner on our hands.

This seems like it will play similar to the PSP Dracula X remake, which I enjoyed a lot. If they nail down the controls, as mentioned, it could be pretty cool.

Played the demo. Definitely not something I'm interested in. Graphics are 360 quality, art style is pretty derivative, controls are sluggish, the action is slow, and the enemies are braindead.

So you don't want to play an Igarashi Castlevania game? Because except for the graphics, you've just described most of the Igarashi CV games.

Not an attack, just an observation.

I love SotN but didn't really get into the GBA games. I think the small screen really frustrated me, but I might retry them now that I have the GBA Player. And a few of the DS ones were OK. I think what I'm really getting at is that nothing's really changed since 1997. SotN will be 20 years old when this game is out. Even if the gameplay and mechanics were just as good as SotN, the dumbed down art style and graphics are a turn-off.

Not looking through 6 pages but it's looks like the 2D Bloodrayne game meets Muramasa. Not bad but was expecting a bit more.

Yeah I got that email too, but I thought the project was 3 years anyways? He launched it like mid 2015, so I thought it was mid 2018 when we got it, what was the original ETA do you remember?

Original eta was march 2017... Super disappointed. . Was half drunk got rhe email and watched a disgraced koji tell ne its delayed a year. Kinda pissed...

I ordered the Wii U physical copy.

The Wii U will be long dead by 2018... Goddamit.

Hah that sucks. Well my expectation was 2018 anyways so I won't worry too much. I ordered the wiiu version too so will be nice to have a new game come out on a system that won't see any games for about a year by the time it hits :-)

I wouldn't be surprised if they just cancel that version of the game. Other kickstarters (*cough* Hyper Light Drifter *cough*) have done it.

I really hope this doesn't go the way of Mighty No.9... if it does, I'm going to quit backing Kickstarters for good. Especially with these big-name developers going rogue.

According to an update today they are now partnered with a publisher "505 Games" is that something they would have to have done anyways? Or is this unexpected?

Maybe they can throw some Rocket League cash at this.

I can't think of anything in this world worth waiting for for three years.

Its disappointing, but good things come to those that wait.

O wait in that video Iga seems disheartened... He doesnt evwn like whats in his game... It feels like he is losing control...

That is a sad video....
