Igarashi follows Inafune, kickstarts not-Castlevania

Postby R-90-2 » Mon May 11, '15, 7:06 pm

Okay, so, given that Igarashi was let go from Konami, and that Konami seems to be wanting to do nothing at all with Castlevania (or really all that much with anything else), Koga Igarashi has decided to follow Keiji Inafune's career path and kickstart his own copyright-friendly Castlevania-ish game. It's gonna be a metroidvania, which should surprise no one, as this was the guy behind Symphony of the Night.

I would speculate over whether this would get off the ground, but he's gonna get the money, that's for sure.

Didn't he make all the money he was asking for in four hours? =p
