Konami released a trailer Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night this afternoon, and man, is it ever just sort of Castlevania! That’s not a slight against the game – but when the trailer touts it as “The FIRST Castlevania game on the iPhone”, it’s hard not to respond with a “yeah, but not really.”
Misplaced licensing aside, the game actually seems pretty damn neat. The gameplay looks like Puyo Puyo with Puzzle Fighter‘s junk system on top of it, wrapped around a Puzzle Quest-style metagame. If you feel the same way we do about all the games in that last sentence, you’re probably looking forward to playing this one as much as we are. Konami hasn’t given a date yet, but look for Castlevania Puzzle in the app store sometime soon.

Ummmm….
not sure if want..
Maybe they realized that since you can’t actually play a game like Castlevania on the iSh8t that they’d just make something that actually worked on the platform.
I cried a bit when they mentioned the “Share with friends on Facebook”
I don’t know. It might even be a good game, but it has nothing to do with SotN.
They are just reusing assets from SotN for an overdone puzzle game. They do not even seem to be doing a good job, since the characters are just floating in the background.
I don’t think I want to play 20 hours of this.
Yeah…. without a dedicated button pad, any kind of sidescroller, especially one requiring such fine timing as the Castlevania series, would be ill-suited for the iphone/capacitive display market place.
