Lost in Blue, Castlevania miss 2008 News

23 October, 2008

Konami has held some key autumn releases back until Q1 2009, including new Lost in Blue and Castlevania instalments for Wii and DS.

Those heading to early next year are Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked! (Wii), Lost in Blue 3 (DS), Castlevania: Judgement (Wii) and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS).

Rock Revolution, the guitar and drum-based rhythm action game, is also down for a Q1 2009 release. That's the first we've heard of it.

Konami shouldn't be too bothered, though, what with the recent release of chart-topper Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. Will PES 2009 stay ahead of FIFA 09 for a second week, though? We shall see. And you will too, assuming you care enough to click through.

Right then, guess I'd better check my local indie shop on Saturday. If they havent imported Castlevania (DS) I'll be making an order from Movietyme or Play-asia.

Their Wii games look rubbish anyway so Im won't lose any sleep over the delay. Can't believe Konami are so stupid in regards to Castlevania on the Wii.

They could have made a really inventive 2D game if they used the pointer. Classic castlevania gameplay with a touch of "Lost Winds" control could have been superb...instead we get a shitty beat-em up crossbreed.

Avoid like an outbreak of the plague - say a few US reviews.
