TGS08: Castlevania: Order of Awesome Trailer

by Chris Greenhough { Oct 13th 2008 at 5:00PM }

With Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia due out in Japan and the U.S. later this month, the Tokyo Game Show represents the last major event at which Konami can show the game off; and shown it off they have, with this spectacular trailer.

The first minute and thirteen seconds consists of Order of Ecclesia character/location art, so if it's gameplay you're after, you'll want to skip to around one-third of the way through. Though why you'd want to skip Castlevania art is utterly beyond us.

Like Castlevania? We do -- to an embarrassing degree. Check out our impressions of Order of Ecclesia from E3, settle in for a trailer, or go Behind the Boxart with a Konami graphic designer. But enough talk -- have at you!

That is indeed awesome. Just one more week!

I feel with this game i can finally start taking Castlevania serious again; now that they've dropped the ridiculous art style of the last two games.

Happy days, indeed.

Yes! Looks like this game's gonna be great, and the Japanese release date and US/North America release dates are really close together for once! Yay!

Pumped. This is pretty similar to an English-language trailer that was released a couple of months ago, but this one reveals a new boss or two. I just pre-ordered my copy at Amazon today. Although it means I'll be playing it a week later than everyone else, they're giving out the soundtrack as a preorder bonus.

I played Symphony of the Night for the first time ever just a month or two ago. The day after I picked that game up I pre-ordered this one. Oh yeah.

a pox upon you for tempting me foul fanboy, I have not watched or looked at anything regarding OofE sence i heard about it here months ago. I found that with portrait of ruin I remembered a lot of boss and plot info from previews and the like, and it took away from the experience. so until it's in front of me I will continue avoiding it's articles and media.
