Despite a start of enthusiasm, the title will finally disappear in limbo in the most total indifference - or almost. And it suffices to take Joypad n ° 92 of December 1999, in other words the month of release envisaged by the producer, to learn that this brave Ressurection is finished at… 25%. Worse, seven months before its release in October 2000 in Japan, the world (during the flight phases with the ship) was totally empty! What we want to show by this comparison is that in the summer of 1999… Castlevania Ressurection is probably only the core of what it is destined to become. To draw a parallel, we have to imagine that the exceptional Skies of Arcadia, when it was announced, was totally embryonic. for Christmas 1999, that is to say only a few months after this interview with Ken Ogasawara. The other element that we note, and it is to say how much we should be wary of such statements, is that we are being told an exit. Clearly, many feared that the license would be distorted. And inevitably, the side 'nag' of such announcements, especially for fans of the series, passed moderately. No, it's more that Castlevania has long been a franchise focused on action, adventure and exploration.

Make no mistake, just because the title is being developed by a US team doesn't mean that players and the press are starting to have reservations. The Dreamcast version will be essentially action-oriented, because our wish is to create a real gamer game. We want to market the game for Christmas 1999 in the United States. All the development part of the game is done in the United States with an American team. “Seeing as the Castlevania N64 sold admirably well in the United States, it was clear that the title remained a safe bet in that country.

Indeed, Castlevania Ressurection is the work of an inexperienced American team and the words of producer Ken Ogasawara, reported in Joypad n ° 88, are not very reassuring: some media do not hesitate to make a reservation.
