Now imagine what Intelligent Systems (aka 2D gods) will be able to do with .... Metroid.... I just hope they actually pay attention to Advance Wars (DS Wars...) graphics... I'm not saying make it 3D cause well... DS can't do high poly.. But better than first-gen GBA would be nice. Hybrid 2d 3d would rock... Total Annihilation on PC proved the power of hybrid 2D/3D graphics in top down Strategy games...

But NOW, this is realy staring to interest me! ... Maybe a killer-app, anyone? DS needs one badly. =P

And then when the 3D Castlevania came out they would claim it sucks and would work better in 2D.
They also want Metroid Prime to control like an FPS yet they don't like Metroid Prime Hunters. Once the gaming media decides to hate on something nothing short of Resident Evil 4 gets them to shut up.
Oh and this new Castlevania looks AWESOME! This could be my DS killer app. It's a shame that a third party manages to get me interested in the DS instead of Nintendo themselves. I think the important difference is here Konami just wants to make a great game for the DS while Nintendo wants to sell the DS concept. Konami's using the old model for game design while Nintendo's trying to reinvent the wheel. Maybe Nintendo should reconsider their "new types of games" concept because this tried-and-true style game looks to run circles around any of the gimmick games Nintendo has been making for the DS.

Regardless, though, I think we can all agree that this game is going to be amazing. Especially if we've played the GBA Castlevanias.

BTW, a simple "nearest neighbor" Photoshop resize of the GameSpot pics results in images that are a lot cleaner and sharper than PGC's ones. I think something probably got mixed up in PGC's resizing.
Here's some examples.

Oh and this castlevania game made me realize a 2d fighter on the ds would look really really good. Im starting to get excited for the DS(finally).

That's funny, Ian. I thought you hated redundant franchise sequels at the expense of new ideas.

Well I don't really consider this a redundant sequel. It has some new ideas in it. Although the GBA Castlevania games were similar they all had a uniqueness to them that made owning all three of them worthwhile. That's different then something like Mario Party where if you've played one you've played them all. The main thing however is that it's not just changing for the sake of change. I'd rather have something that's a little more familiar but just nails it perfectly then a game that tries something totally new for the sake of doing something new and ends up being shallow and gimmicky. Nintendo's whole approach to the DS so far seems to be that they thought of these new hardware ideas but had no solid game ideas to make them with. So now they're just trying to find excuses to work these new features into their existing franchises and so far they haven't shown me something that suggests that these new DS features are useful or worthwhile.
Innovation should be natural and should improve. Nintendo right now wants to change the traditional gaming model to something that they have not demonstrated to be better. And it's not very natural as Nintendo has struggled to adapt to it and made a very deliberate change for the sake of change. Metroid Prime uses the "old" model for games and it's a millions times more innovative than Metroid Prime Hunters which is just a generic FPS with a "new" but largely inferior way to aim and move.
I just think there's still plenty of room to innovate using the existing game design model and Nintendo is going in the wrong direction by trying to use a new model that they so far have no solid ideas for.

Wow, this is hardly fair considering the game is nowhere near complete and you have no idea how it will end up...

I don't get how anybody can complain about Hunters. What are you comparing it to?
