Koji Igarashi considers Castlevania Judgment criticism "unjustified"

Many fans were understandable surprised by the announcement of a new one-on-one fighting game based around the Castlevania series, but according to MTV, series veteran Koji Igarashi believe that the fan's criticism of the game is unfair and unwarranted.

"When you have a franchise like this, that's become popular in a certain type of game style and you change that so drastically, I understand the responses is going to be negative," Igarashi said. "I also felt a lot of the response was, I guess, unjustified in the sense that they based their [response] on just hearing about it or maybe seeing a couple of screenshots and making a whole assumption."

At the end of the day, we'll just have to let the quality of the game speak for itself when its finally released.
