Koji Igarashi talks about Castlevania's present and future

Indiana Igarashi and the DX Crusade - Image 1  


Koji "Iga" Igarashi, the man behind the successful Castlevania franchise, revealed more juicy tidbits about his experiences with Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles and the future of the Castlevania series in another interview held during the recent E for All 2007 event. While Igarashi didn't quite reveal everything players were dying to know, he did offer some insights into both himself and the Castlevania franchise.

For example, Koji Igarashi said that he was thinking of producing titles for next-gen consoles, only that he hadn't actually decided on one yet. Nintendo fans, at least, have something to look forward to: Mr. Igarashi mentioned that he was working on a version of Castlevania for the Nintendo DS.

Oddly enough, Koji Igarashi admitted to having an Xbox 360,  but not a PS3 at home, saying that he liked the lineup of games that the Xbox 360 had to offer. Mr. Igarashi said he would rather wait for Metal Gear Solid 4 come out (and for the PS3's price to drop) before purchasing a PS3. As one observant reader noted: could this be any indication of the specific console that the next Castlevania game will come out for?

I said this already, but I'll repeat it... this guy seriously reminds me of the dracula that is in Symphony of the Night.

Seriously, the facial hair and expression are SO similar!!!

hmmm... that's very interesting. I wonder why Microsoft is the only company never to have seen a castlevania product on it. Is it possible that there's no "Microsoft of Japan Corporation", like there is a Sony of America Corp?

If so, Microsoft is not as smart as I had been duped into believing...

but Symphony of the Night came out for the the XBOX Arcade and topped the arcade charts for sometime so M$ has seen a Castlevania product and M$ does have a contingent in Japan (not a very profitable portion) but they do. Don't understand any of your post there "iamback"

With all due respect to Mr. Igarashi, perhaps the DX graphics artists used him as the model or inspiration for SotN rendering of Dracula?
