E3 2005: Castlevania DS Gets More Touch
Konami reveals that Dawn of Sorrow will feature an additional touch screen feature.
by Craig Harris
May 17, 2005 - At Konami's E3 press event today, Koji Igarashi debuted a new touchscreen function that's now implemented in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Along with the ability to chisel away at ice blocks and create new blocks, as well as perform symbols to banish enemies, Igarashi's programmers have implemented a small function that, as Iga explains it, he's is warming up to.



Before explaining this feature, he showed video of the function. In this confusing footage, attendees saw an unseen gamer writing KONAMI, drawing a face, and sketching other items on a special item screen. After the deafening silence, Iga explained: players will be able to customize their game profile with a drawing. Iga feels that, even though this idea is a minor one, he feels that this implementation makes the game feel more personal to the player.

Other than this function, no new details or gameplay elements were revealed about Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow...other than its new subtitle and an anime-style animated introduction that Iga showed off in video form.

So... is this really a new Castelvania or a re-make to DS of an old Castelvania?

Completely new.

Cool, I'd like to play it, maybe when I can get an emulator for DS to play it on my computer.

[glow=purple,5,300]Does an emulator for DS even exists?[/glow]

I meant for when one comes out, Link told me there is one, but it's not working good, or something like that.

An emulator will come out someday, it always does.

I´ve heard about this one, and since I´m a Castlevania fan i know various details. It´s a new way of playing. The status and menu screen will be at the top screen while all the action takes place on the touch screen. I personally think it should be the other way, since i don´t really see how to kill mobs using a stylus.

But, I´ll have to try it to see it by myself, ´cause it´s a fact I´m buying it.

PS: Don´t worry Mephistopheles, I´ll let you play it on my DS =D
