AHH..FINALLY..U.S. CASTLEVANIA GROUP PHOTO **FIXED**

I was seriously POed when they cancelled Resurrection for DC. Especially after seeing the intro and the character designs !! It looks like it would have been very cool, and a much needed boost for the DC.

Yes, and it would have come out if not for politics.

You see, back during the Dreamcast's early days, SEGA of America wanted a Castlevania game on the DC. SEGA got together with Konami of America and they worked out a deal. KoA contacted Konami of Japan and told them what SEGA had requested. Well, KoJ's Castlevania team at the time wanted none of it and said that if KoA wanted a Castlevania game on DC they should go program it themselves.

Calling KoJ's bluff, KoA did just that. An American team was thrown together and quickly created a caliber engine for the game and started to develop the game world, story, and characters.

Come E3 of that year (2001?) KoA had Castlevania Resurrection on display. Con-goers were quite impressed by what they saw and played. Naturally, people from KoJ got wind of this. Trouble flew.

KoJ's members started to throw a hissey, claiming Castlevania was a Japanese game series and how dare they take that from them. They said Americans couldn't possibly make as good of a Castlevania game as the Japanese branch (though just about everyone who played the demo disagrees).

In order to qualm the quibbling and keep relations from going sour between the branches, Konami of America killed the project at Konami of Japan's request (read: demand).

I really hope this story isn't true because Konami made a pretty average Castlevania for PS2. Lets see we will take Devil May Cry and copy and paste a guy with a whip over Dante. There we now have Castlevania in 3D.

While it's one i dont have and would like to , its not a U.S. release. And that's what i have pictured above.

Hahaha, read the title and was hoping you'd updated with a Haunted Castle board (knew it was just the fix to include Bloodlines).

I like how everything's symmetrical.

As for Rondo...better get that one before prices go up any more! Last time I checked it was at a low price many places but that can always change.

Actually prices for Rondo aren't that bad. Keep in mind some years ago this title was fetching up to $300.00. I owned the title numeros times and the last time it cost me about $80.00.

$80 is a bit lower than I expected, but yes, you're saying what I'm saying, so we're all saying the same thing.

Though $80 for an opened copy and $300 for a sealed copy (I saw copies offered BIN on eBay for $360 in 2002) are quite different.
