サントロペ池袋にて「悪魔城ドラキュラ The ARCADE」のロケテが実施されていました。
(13日夕方に確認、タイトルは正確でないかもしれません)
発表済のメダルゲームとは異なり、サイレントヒル(アーケード版)のように立ってプレイするタイプのようでした。

You live in Japan and you don't know katakana?

Ceph · Post by **Ceph** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 10:34 am

What makes you think ARCADIA doesn't know katakana?

Anyway, because ARCADIA hadn't linked to it directly I took the liberty of finding the article in question (about the loke test), posting it here and making the important part bold.

The game is supposedly the same type of game as Silent Hill Arcade, which is a rail shooter and looks like this:

First a fighting game, now this.

(Verification and title perhaps) unlike the medal game of announcement end, it is not accurate, the silent hill (arcade edition) the way standing, seemed like the type which you play in 13 day and night ones. Because (you do not play really, concerning details you do not understand)

An exciting Castlevania news.

As thrilling as this:

Fail. That is a fail of Boll proportions. That is like having the Transformers movie with the robots not transforming at all.

This is why I pay more attention to Contra these days

Anyhow, I wonder if this is going to be Konami's attempt at the F-Zero AX/GX releases, except with the tie-in between the arcade and Wii CV Judgement. Who else thinks that's likely?

Nate · Post by **Nate** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 10:35 pm

This is terrible. Somebody needs to do something; like email that Anderson guy and tell him to please not fuck up the show!

ARCADIA · Post by **ARCADIA** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 10:41 pm

ok, here's another quote

まぁ、ドラキュラはガン（ムチ）シュー？　なのもなぁ。

26 copies in the US? Maybe that's a good thing to some...

Why not do better - why not hire an hitman...

Edit: of course, even if you get rid of Anderson, there's always the goat-fucking animated movie by Ellis:

Maybe we need a whole trinity of hitmen. Iga, Anderson, Ellis...

It's just a novelty bandana. What did you expect?

Thanks man. Can you post it in Welsh for everyone too?

So it's a gun shooter, but the gun is a whip?

Ed Oscuro · Post by **Ed Oscuro** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:03 am

Hey, didn't they change the whip of NINTENDO SIXTY-FOUUUR to a gun for Hybrid Heaven?

So it´s kind of a railshooter, but with a whipmote? That actually sounds great. Especially judging from that description. A wii port might be the obvious thing if it wasn´t for the mentioned high-grade graphics.

Bloody Tears as a boss tune? Damn it, I want Poison Mind.

Maybe a PS3 port with a special new sixaxis controller.

or maybe a wii port with a special good game adapter

Ahahahaha, I want Boll to direct this movie, dammit!

(Although I wonder if it's possible to fuck up a Contra movie, that one would be really hard to.)

I don't think they make those adapters for Wii. If they did, Nintendo probably killed them in a firmware update.

Not to thread jack but Silent Hill Arcade is THE WORST arcade rail shooter I have ever played. I played it at IAAPA last year as everything was on freeplay. To me that wasn't even worth the time to stand there and play it.
