Castlevania Coming to Xbox
eToyChest is reporting that there are two new Castlevania titles coming to the current generation of consoles. Castlevania: Curse of Darkness will be released on the Xbox and the PS2, while Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow will see the dual lights of the DS. From the article: "While past Castlevania games have focused on the struggle between Dracula and the Belmont clan, Curse of Darkness introduces players to an entirely new storyline and main character - Hector, a Devil Forgemaster, and former Lieutenant of Dracula. Told in true Castlevania style by award winning producer Koji Igarashi, this action-packed tale of betrayal and revenge takes players on a journey through an expansive world filled with formidable foes and beautifully rendered environments to the ruins of Dracula's castle."
Like evilmousse pointed out, it's plain amazing to see how many titles the Castlevania title has spawned -- Gamespot just had a great article on the history of Castlevania, and it references the following titles:
Vampire Killer, Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Super Castlevania IV, Dracula X: The Rondo of Blood, Akumajo Dracula X68000, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Castlevania: Dracula X, Castlevania: Symphony of The Night, Castlevania 64, Castlevania 64: Legacy of Darkness, Akumajo Dracula: Circle of the Moon. Castlevania Adventure, Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, Castlevania Legends, Haunted Castle, Vs. Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, , Castlevania: Resurrection
If that's not a killer franchise, I don't know what is :)
