We totally want this, and we are all about pixel art, but we must say that this figure, with its rounded edges and inexact paint job, looks a little more like a cookie to us than an action figure. Which actually gives us an idea!




This might be a bit out of the norm for us, but we know plenty of you read the site here from your boring cubicle job or what have you, so we figured since Castlevania is available on the GBA and DS in many forms, and we're such huge fans of the series, why not post this fan-made Flash installment in the series. Called Castlevania: The Blood Way, it's actually a pretty darn fun time.



We aren't experts in the fine art that is speaking Japanese, if you hadn't already noticed. On top of that, translated pages aren't exactly the best place to get info either. If you've ever doubted that a sentence in English could not make sense, spend five minutes trying to read one of Google's translated pages. They could make Winnie The Pooh look like a perverted old bear.
From what we gathered, this is the intro to Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. There's lots of ass kicking and no monster gets spared. We were surprised to not hear any voice acting but we are hoping to see that get worked on in the extra months Konami has taken to improve the game.
As always, the video is after the break unless you want to wait and see the intro for yourself when the game is released like a sissy. Enjoy!

With all the buzz about the newest Castlevania for DS, it was a huge disappointment to hear that it was delayed until February of next year.
The good news is that Konami plans on fully utilizing these extra months to make the game better. They are adding a few online features to beef it up. Players will be able to trade spells online, sell their spells in an online shop and engage in battles against bosses in a two-player co-op Wi-Fi mode. We smell friend codes coming!
To hold your attention until February, check out the bad ass stuff you get for pre-ordering the game. Not even a moderate Castlevania fan could say no to that beautiful bundle of Belmont joy.

[update: Reader Daroga pointed out that this delay is in Europe only. We called our local GameStop and they still have the US release date as December 13. Thanks Daroga!]
There are few people allowed to crack whips other than Devo (they just do it so well). Fortunately for the gaming world we are more than happy to see a member of the Belmont family authoritatively crack one in the name of beating down one of time's most ferocious night stalkers -- vampires.
Even though being able to live forever would be pretty cool, we aren't huge fans of sucking blood or having our blood sucked, so they must ultimately be destroyed. The poor Belmont family has been trying to do this for years and they do it so well, it almost looks like an art. Then again, if they were to ever fully succeed in killing off these blood suckers, what or who would they fight next? We see where you are going with this and no, cowboy-space-vampires riding pink mechanical horses across the galaxy is not a good idea. Sorry.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is really catching our eye and we recently found out that the Japanese site for the game is up. As usual, knowing Japanese would help while exploring it.
