Shantae Developer Wayforward Supporting Bloodstained Development

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the Castlevania-inspired platformer from Koji Igarashi, the mind behind Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, announced a new development partner today. Wayforward, the studio behind the Shantae series of games as well as 2013's DuckTales: Remastered among other quality 2D platformers, is assisting with development.

In consideration of their past achievements, WayForward will be helping the development team realize my vision for this game. Maybe I am even more excited than everyone else - with their help Bloodstained will become an even better game.

Along with the comment above from the announcement, Igarashi also pointed out that one of Wayforward's staff members actually worked on one of his previous projects which he says is encouraging.

It's unclear exactly what Wayforward's role will be as Igarashi only says the studio will act as support and will be helping without offering more details.

Our Take
Bloodstained shares some parallels with Mighty No. 9 in terms of the history of its talent and what it is trying to achieve which makes me wary to get too excited about Bloodstained. That being said, I love Igarashi's Castlevania games, and Wayforward seems like the perfect fit to help bring this kind of game to life. It could be the perfect fit.

Everybody's Golf VR Announced For May 21

The Everybody's Golf/Hot Shots Golf series is synonymous with the three-click swing, but developer Clap Handz is taking things in a new direction with Everybody's Golf VR – out on May 21. The PlayStation VR title can be played with a single Move controller or a DualShock 4, but the downside is that the game currently only lists three courses plus a new practice mode (from the tee or on the green). That said, Everybody's Golf VR is selling for $29.99. Being an Everybody's Golf game, naturally, your caddie is part of the experience, and in this VR title they'll give you the normal advice as well as appear between holes in events. Judging by one of the screens in the gallery below, it looks like things might even get dangerous. Click image thumbnails to view larger version                                  ...
