Yes, with only five characters, you will be playing with twins in a six-player game.

They couldn't add one more character?

I was thinking about OoE and decided that if they just put the whole thing in one big castle like they were supposed to, rather than breaking the thing up into small areas it would probably be the best CV game. Gameplay-wise, I think I like the glyphs better than the Sorrow games' souls.

glyphs were fine. dumbass fetch quests and uninspired maps weren't. reusing the same sprites for a third game (and a fourth if you include SOTN) is lazy. I also didn't like how strict the bosses were - that game felt like memorization and pattern recognition instead of a fun action RPG. it was just a little bit too difficult for a CV title. I don't mind difficulty but I don't really play Castlevania for a high level of challenge. I thought POR did it perfectly.

OoE isn't difficult after the 10th playthrough though :(

I really don't mind the recycling at all, that honestly never even registered as a complaint in my mind until earlier when Repus was complaining about it! It's lazy, sure, but I don't see it as a real problem.

i'm in the same 'doesn't care about 3d' camp with everyon else, atleast in the early going. it's going to take years before its a viable, experience enhancing thing. disappointing thay sony is putting so much emphasis on that, but ah well. as long as they have last guardian i'm good.


castlevania xbla sounds fun. nothing amazingly exciting, but much better than recent efforts.

that's right, even Pac-Man can be milked for minigames

Pac-Man is throwing his own 30th birthday party.

The first new Pac-Man game in five years —Pac-Man Party, due this fall for Nintendo Wii and set to be unveiled this week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo — has more than ghosts to keep him busy this time.

The game has more than 45 mini-games that let Pac-Man take part in everything from curling and tennis to a king-of-the-mountain-style game and, of course, evading and chasing those pastel-colored ghosts Pinky, Blinky, Inky and Clyde.

An overarching story mode lets you guide Pac-Man over a variety of locales (green meadow, desert, snowy mountains) laid out on a Monopoly-style game board. As the ghosts chase Pac-Man across the board, he dives in and out of the various games. The goal: Help Mr. Cookie save his secret recipe. Players also can go straight to whatever mini-game they choose.

What the hell, Soma Alucard and . . . Portrait of Ruin guy all play mostly the same. They could have used like Richter/Julius, Grant, Sypha, Simon . . .

The Summer of XBLA lineup has some great-looking stuff, to be sure, but whatever happened to that "Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet" game? Still a work in progress? It, Dust, and Limbo all give me that "wow, thank the gaming gods that there's such an accessible marketplace for talented indie developers" vibe.

A huge lineup and they were smart to keep the vitality sensor off the stage. Wow, just a staggering lineup. Then again the only one I cared about seems to be the biggest letdown :\ so I'm pretty happy for the Nintendo crowd but really wishing they'd knock it off with the Zelda franchise

The Pac-Man party continues as Namco Bandai has announced a followup to 2007's excellent Pac-Man Championship Edition: simply, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. The so-called sequel will launch on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this fall, adding new mazes, modes and enhancements to the CE formula.

In fact, DX sounds seriously "deluxe," expanding the original Championship Edition's six mazes to "more than 100 varied and mind-boggling" courses, according to Namco Bandai. Additionally, new modes will include Time Attack Mode, an objective-based Mission Mode and the (devour) Ghost Mode.

We'll look to gobble up more details at Namco Bandai's Pac-Man birthday event tonight. (Old Yellow's turning 30!)

Siliconera reports on the 3ds:

At the Nintendo press conference I got to spend a little time with the Nintendo 3DS. By little I mean a minute. No games were playable. Instead we saw moving screenshots, like 3d animated GIFs, you can toggle with the depth slider.

There were five quick demos: Pikmin, New Super Mario Bros., Metroid, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Zelda. The Zelda screen was the most impressive. Particles that popped out of the screen were flying in the background and sparks flew off Link’s sword. In the New Super Mario Bros. demo the characters were in front of the background. When you turn the slider down the image becomes a regular 3D screenshot. In the Super Mario Galaxy 2 demo I turned the depth to half which, as exepected, lowered 3D effect. The distance Yoshi leaped out of the screen was barely notciable at 3/4 down. I also tried tilting the 3DS and the image remained in 3D. It took a second to adjust, but it wasn’t laggy like Looksey’s Line Up. The slide pad was used to rotate the image.

The depth effect felt like a hologram and while I didn’t play anything the hardware makes a good first impression.

Woah, yes! Finally! I've been waiting for a Kid Icarus sequel since the Super NES! We've only gone what, 6 Nintendo systems without a Kid Icarus game?

Now we just need Pilotwings Wii.
