Yea I'm all for a Gamecube Castlevania but I hardly see it happening.
For one the last Konami big name title that came to the system, Metal Gear Solid, apparently underperformed. Why would Konami try again with a smaller franchise and a very shaky developer like Kuju?
Seems unlikely.
MGS came out last month... how has it had time to underpreform? I'm betting a Castlevania takes less money to make than a Metal Gear anyway. Also, I don't think Twin Snakes cost Konami very much, if anything.
Nintendo probably took the hit. Silicon developed it, so it's on Nintendo's coin. Nintendo paid Konami for the licence and I think Nintendo also distributed it... and distribution is not that expensive compared to other costs of a game. You just have to have the network and suppliers lined up.
No Konami published it
which IMHO is why it underperformed (if it did) because Konami didnt push it there were some magazine ads but thats it
no tv ads
no pre-order push
i think Nintendo would have done a better job of pushing and selling the game
Nintendo needs to cut you guys out and just start making Nintendo Excuse Machines.
Like printing money.
