Castlevania moved from the DS to the PSP, Dance Dance Revolution exclusive to PS3... the future is here gentlemen!

Yeah, Konami seems so attached at the hip to Sony that I'm not expecting much.

been mentioned and commmented/speculated on here

Punch out by Konami is the "rumor"

I rather think its Castlevania demo for 360

I didn't think much of this until I noticed the plural.  "SEVERAL major announcements on new GAMES".

But will it really be "earth-shaking"?  Not to be cynical, but unless they're pledging exclusivity to one console maker, I don't really see how they could add up to being a big deal.

New Goemon please.

This only put more weight behind the original rumor.
now we just need to find out that Dewy isn't the only game Konami has planned for Wii.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade) for XboxLive Arcade & Nintendo Virtual Console


Never happening, they don't even have the license to it anymore nevermind the fact that the last time they did bring the arcade game back they had to replace all the music.

That's a Konami website post?

Prepare for disappointment. They'll just reannounce the games they already announced on Thursday.

Anyone know where I can get a PS2 => GCN converter for my two hard pads?  I think this DDR game will be excellent.

I was going to suggest Lik-Sang but I forgot that Sony killed them.  >_<

Hence the reason why I am asking or I would've already gone there (heh, I have DDR Mario but no GCN pad, finding a converter will let me play DDR Mario as well).

That is if DDR Hottest Party uses the GameCube pads. They said that the demo was using them, but in the promo video people were playing on Wireless pads.
We might actually see special made DDR pads for the Wii.

Chris Kohler goes over the 4 Konami Wii games here. For reference, Konami is bringing over Dewy and DDR, and also publishing Hudson's Kororinpa (which Kohler is now addicted to) and Wing Island. All of a sudden I'm totally hyped up for ALL of these games.

For further edification, Kohler posted Konami's full press release lineup for all systems here.

Oh damn it, we already knew Kororinpa and Wing Island were coming over, and DDR is completely dead. Dewy still rules though!

I'd really really love to see a Wii-exclusive Gradius game, even if it were VC-only.

It would also be great if the paid homage to their first Nintendo-released Gradius game "Life-Force" by developing the game's controls to use the Wiimote "NES-style", while adding in further controls through motion gestures to result in different game effects like using super weapons, rewinding, etc.

Can't wait!

Can we just get a Castlevania announcement already?  Honestly, it's almost becoming humorous the way Konami shuns Nintendo's consoles while selling loads of Castlevania games on the Nintendo handhelds.  It makes absolutely no sense.  They could...eh, should, just throw some 2d classics together for the Wii.

konami are faqs. bring some real games over like silent hill or castlevania. to hell with playing as a water droplet...wtf..who would think thats fun? a retarded 10 year old? whatever..

LOL

I doubt any 10 year old will even play Dewy, stop trolling. Me and my 20 year old friends will though, because it could be fun!

Castlevania isn't happening, some guy who makes it said the Wii was crap or something.

Post by: Hocotate on February 02, 2007, 10:28:14 AM
This is excellent news! Great find Pittbboi. DDR, Dewy, Kororinpa, and Wing Island are all games I want and will buy!! Good thing, I was about to import Koro and Wing Island. Considering the kind of support we got from Konami last gen this is very good news! And so early on too.  
Title: RE:"Earth-Shaking" News From Konami
Post by: The Omen on February 02, 2007, 10:32:10 AM
I don't mind the support.  It's fine.  I do mind the selective b title crap.  Konami might as well put out those old Mickey Mouse garbage games they're known for.  There had better be a Castlevania announcement on Monday, or they're written off altogether as far as I'm concerned.

He said that your arm would become tired from whipping, so Castlevania isn't well suited to that control.  Obviously he hadn't given much thought to other uses.

Hopefully some games that I will give a crap about (only Dewey if its really good), but it's prob just announcing these games on their site.

4 player DDR with co-op mode is DAMN tempting...

Everything else is a rent.

That would be great.  But lets not give Konami too much credit for graciously allowing us to play 20 year old games, for a fee.  Sure, it's nice, but we're still paying for old games and they're making a profit on them-again.  Which takes absolutely no effort on their part.  No new major game announcements for Wii on Monday, and I'm done with Konami.

I think some announcements are expected to be on Monday. They could have just blown the whole load on friday, but I doubt it. I'm still waiting for a Silent Hill game for Wii at the very least, but a dedicated DDR game is a good start.

Post by: Smash_Brother on February 03, 2007, 06:39:52 AM
Indeed...that would be the first SH game I'll play.

Here's hoping for a MGS or the next Castlevania being Wii-bound.
Title: RE: "Earth-Shaking" News From Konami
Post by: Vundu on February 03, 2007, 06:52:50 AM
I am guessing its the new Castlevania (which includes Rondo and SOTN as unlockables) on the PSP.

I wish it was a 2D Castlevania for the Wii.
Title: RE: "Earth-Shaking" News From Konami
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 03, 2007, 07:07:54 AM
If this is it, then DDR is definitely the best news we've seen out of Konami for the Wii.
Title: RE: "Earth-Shaking" News From Konami
Post by: NWR_pap64 on February 03, 2007, 07:17:37 AM
I think this is it for now. I will be surprised if something else is announced (and even then, it could be something for the DS, the 36o or the PS3).

And like SB said, DDR Wii is good enough for now.
