Castlevania: The Arcade, released in Japan as Akumajō Dracula: The Arcade (悪魔城ドラキュラ THE ARCADE, Demon Castle Dracula: The Arcade),[3] is an arcade game, part of the Castlevania franchise by Konami. The game was announced on July 23, 2008.[4] The game was released in Japan on October 2, 2009.[2] A European release was announced for 2009 but only appeared at test locations in 2008.[5]

The games whip control and button layout resembled a heavier version of a Wii remote.[6]

Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to light gun shooters such as The House of the Dead.[7] Players utilize a special LED whip remote. The remote has two buttons. A top thumb button used to activate the whip, prompting players to swing the remote at the screen to damage enemies. A bottom button for the index finger is used to activate subweapons, such as knives or crosses.[7][8] Subweapons are refilled by collecting hearts (up to 25) strewn about each stage in the form of destructible candles and wooden crates.[8]

Up to two players can play the game at once. Characters in the game include the Vampire Hunter, the Lady Gunner, and the Little Witch.[8]

Audio

Castlevania: The Arcade's soundtrack was released on Akumajou Dracula Best Music Collections Box, an 18-CD box set containing music from many Castlevania titles. The Arcade's music was featured on Disc 17.[9]
