Like we said, we only got to play an early version of Resurrection, but what we saw wasn't looking too hot. It has since disappeared from release lists and been the subject of many it's-on-again, it's-off-again rumors. Resurrection was originally supposed to hit the Dreamcast in November 1999 but was delayed until the first quarter of 2000. It featured Sonya Belmont-Simon's mom and the star of 1998's Castlevania Legends for the Game Boy-as its main character, but the game was so early when we played it that we never really got a feel for its gameplay. studio, Resurrection was set in a completely 3D world, just like Castlevania on the N64. Just look at these screenshots! Developed at Konami's U.S. And if nothing else, this once highly anticipated Dreamcast version was going to be the best-looking game in the series so far. It's a fact: Hardcore gamers love Konami's Castlevania series (well, at least the 2D installments, anyway).

Let's not forget about what Konami of America did to the once-awesome Contra franchise. We hope the game turns out to be great in the end, but surely you can understand why we have our doubts. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that the game is being developed in America, rather than Japan (only one guy from the old Japanese games is involved in this project-an art guy from Castlevania IV).

Right now the game is so early, it's hard to get a feel for what it's going to be like, but at this point, it's not looking too hot. The game stars Sonya Belmont, the very first known member of the Belmont clan and mother to Simon (she also starred in last year's Castlevania Legends for the Game Boy). Having played an early version at E3, we have to admit that this delay was definitely a smart move on Konami's part.Ĭastlevania: Resurrection takes place in a full 3D world, similar to the N64 Castlevania. Although it was originally supposed to come out this November, Konami's Castlevania: Resurrection has been pushed back to a first quarter 1999 release.
