Is it this

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I'm excited about ARMS. There hasn't been much released about just how the punching works but I think there's a lot of potential and could be what Punch Out couldn't. I also can't stop thinking about a Cook, Serve, Delicious type game with the ARMS, uh, arms. Punching your spice rack, curving a hook around a guy at the counter to serve a table in the back.

I like Drawn to Death's art style, but it's servers suck and its sense of humor is terribly grating.

There were 6 (CV1-4, Bloodlines and Rondo) unless you also count the portables

Also the X68000 game, and Dracula X/ Dracula XX, and ReBirth, and Haunted Castle, and a weird MSX version with keys.

On the 3D front there's the two (one-and-a-half?) N64 games, the two PS2 games, the two Lords of Shadows, and a cancelled Dreamcast game.

I don't know what the DS Lords of Shadow game counts as.

Then there's the Tiger handhelds, EROTIC VIOLENCE pachinko, arcade light-whip shooter, and Harmony of Despair.

I am undoubtedly missing something because I am always missing some weird unique computer port/game in the Castlevania series.

Sometimes I just want to play an awful game, a real piece of poo poo, ya know? So I played Arcania (formerly known as Gothic 4) and man that must have been a tax scam or something, I refuse to believe anyone involved with it had played the earlier games, or any games ever.

Find a copy of Red Ninja.

David Jaffe's brand of edginess worked with Twisted Metal Black and the first God of War, but by the last GoW plus that rancid Twisted Metal game for PS3, someone should have loving stopped him. This new game is basically him with zero filters which is why it sucks so much

There are 4 writers credited for God of War 3:

Stig Asmussen, who also directed GoW3. GoW3 is the only thing he's ever written. He worked in the art department for GoW2

Ariel Lawrence, who worked as a writer on GoW2, 3, and ascention, but hasn't written anything else

William Weissbaum, who worked on GoW2, 3, and is now a writer for Star Citizen (lol)

And, of course, Marianne Krawczyk, who wrote basically every GoW game, but is the only of these writers who worked on GoW1.

It's gonna be like the wii where like everyone has one, but they're also gonna sell a whole bunch of amiibos and digital games on top of that. Nintendo has gotten very good at maximizing how much they get out of each individual customer and now they're gonna have a lot more customers.

At the very least no one should be worried about Nintendo's future anymore lol
