[Poll] You want 8 or 16 or 32 bit style prequel mini-game?

16 Bit.

I was a SNES kid back in the day. It'd be all sorts of nostalgic to do it in 16 bit.

16 bits sure, SNES is the way to go.

well, this is unexpected.

Although I voted 32 bit, when I start the poll I thought 8 bit would win. The result is not even close.

If I start a company I'll go bankrupt for sure lol.

32, because sound quality also because SoTN

8-bit graphics, go for 8-bit music and sound

16-bit graphics, 32-bit music and sound yeah!

man, I love this music!

I picked 32 because why wouldn't I want it to look the best it can? I want to see the game in the way IGA normally produces. Either way, I hope no one gets their hopes up.

It'll be 8 bit just like Mighty Gunvolt....No way will INTI do all this work on the main game and then throw out a 32 bit game on top of it.

just think, if its 8 or 16 bit audio, maybe Virt will mix the tracks with Yamane ^3^

Besides, it doesnt necessarily have to be 8/16/32 across the board, those came about because the hardware dictated it, it could be like axiom verge where the music is hq but chiptuny, the art is a mix of 8 and 16 and not fixed (like in a couple areas where it zooms out), but it undeniably feels retro

FYI here's how Alucard look in his first appearance in the series. (Castlevania III : Dracula's curse NES)


And here's him in sotn :

I was surprised early on in this poll that 8-bit was doing so well. I figured everybody would want 32-bit, and I see that did win out after all hahaha...

Like I said in the Kickstarter comments a while back and as others have pointed out, it will probably be something quite like Mighty Gunvolt, yes. Granted, that game was done in a very Mega Man style, and this one would likely be done in a 8-bit 'Vania style. Even the icon for the stretch goal is a Famicom controller, so that's another thing that indicates that era. My guess for the genre in general? Johannes doing Belmont whipping as the main protagonist with some other playable thrown in, Miriam showing up only in the end. Maybe a guest character.

I'd want a 32-bit game myself, too, of course, but that's hardly even retro. That's more...a whole lot of work 2D lol. If they were to create assets for something of that level, may as well just make a whole game of it. Would take a lot more money.
