Castlevania Coming to the Wii?
CVG picked up on a recent blurb in Preview magazine mentioning a Wii version of Castlevania. This comes as a surprise after Koji Igarashi's hesitance concerning the Wii in general and more specifically the Wii-mote. "It says the book will be 'cross-promoted with 2008 video game releases, which include games for Nintendo Wii and DS (Fall 2008).' We already knew about a new Castlevania DS game, but the Wii version is news to us. We've contacted Konami, but unfortunately they were unable to comment on the matter."
I would pay for a VC release of Dracula X for the tg16. That is the sort of thing the VC could be awesome at; re-releasing games that are very good but never got a real chance for one reason or another.
Seriously. Me and 10 friends all had launch consoles. EVERY ONE failed with black dots one month past warranty. Nintendo's response? "Too bad, pay us $75 and ship it in."
You realize that the odds against that happening are so immense that nobody reading this will believe you? Most Slashdotters can do the math effortlessly. If every console had a 50% chance of going belly up the month after the warranty expired (which is a vastly exaggerated figure), then there is only a (0.5^10) 0.1% chance of that happening. Couple that with the fact that the chance of an individual Wii dying the month after warranty is certainly under 10%... that would make the odds of you telling the truth less than 1 in 10^10, or... slim.
The odds would be mitigated if you had, say, 100 friends with launch consoles, but are only talking about the 10 that had problems; but then, that would also mitigate your point.
First time I've heard of said problem :-)
