Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin features local & online co-op + online chat feature
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, coming late 2006, is the second game in Konami’s long-running Castlevania series to be developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS. Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi was at the San Diego Comic-Con last week and answered some questions.
When asked about Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin’s wireless features, Iga explained that the game will offer a two-player cooperative mode that can be played either locally or online. Cooperative games will be played on special stages which, although the translation wasn’t entirely clear, we’re assuming refers to levels different to those found in the single-player game, and the monsters contained therein will vary according to whether the game is online or local because of technical limitations. Also supported locally and online will be a shop mode, where you can buy, sell, and trade items with other players.
Iga mentioned to Gamespot that although the bulk of the in-game music is being composed by Castlevania veteran Michiru Yamane, at least five pieces of music will come courtesy of Yuzo Koshiro, whose soundtrack credits include such classic games as Streets of Rage, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Shenmue.
