It looks like theCastlevaniaarcade gamewe showed you awhile backhas finally hit Japanese arcades this week.
Castlevania: The Arcadeuses a “whip/sword controller,” that (as you can see above) looks like a stumpy light saber. By waving this flash-light in front of the screen, you can snap at and slice up enemies. Each controller has a tiny red button on it, and when pressed activates different in-game items that you’ll pick up throughout the game.
Like most arcade-style “light gun” games,Castlevania: The Arcadefeatures cooperative play. The Japanese arcade machine also supports the ability to save your characters info onto a card data onto a card, as well as nationwide networking support for things like rankings.
There’s a video of the game over at its officialWeb site, which gives you a good idea of what to expect. And what we’d like to expect is thatCastlevania: The Arcadegets ported to the Wii at some point, because it’s obviously a perfect fit. Also, none of our friends want to playCastlevania Judgmentwith us.
