The poor guy must have been tuckered out from carrying that whip around all day. The last three press events we've been to that he was at, he was wearing the same white shirt, cowboy hat, boot and whip getup. Do you think he opens his closet in the morning and just has dozens of duplicates of that outfit all lined up and ready to go?

We just hope he's not tired from all the Castlevania Judgement Wii-mote shaking action. That can really take quite a toll on the body.

He's probably thinking, "Oh GOD...a Castlevania movie and Simon Belmont doesn't use a whip. Has this Paul Anderson guy ever PLAYED a Castlevania game?!"

I wonder if Igarashi ever played Portrait of Ruin.

"I wonder if Igarashi ever played Portrait of Ruin."

Uh, Simon only gets a single reference in Portrait of Ruin (as a summon, WHERE HE USES THE WHIP).

At first I thought I saw some blow on that table. Way to go, brain. Now get out of the gutter...

Can't you see, the man is deep in thought.

That pose reminds me of the king from the Zelda CD-I games.

"Hmmm, how can we help?"

John Z: Jul 18th 2008; 1:09PM

I can see this becoming the next facepalm.jpg .

That8: Jul 18th 2008; 1:09PM

I think its jet lag

cengo: Jul 18th 2008; 1:12PM

Right on, nice shot. Work hard...and get tired hard

Shaq-Fu: Jul 18th 2008; 1:12PM

He looks like he's cosplaying as Indiana Jones

d1srupt0r: Jul 18th 2008; 1:12PM

Maybe he got kicked out for making fun of Castlevania Judgement

Tiptup300: Jul 18th 2008; 1:20PM

I hope it's a 2.5D sidescroller.

Getter-3: Jul 18th 2008; 1:20PM

Aww, he's all tuckered out after playing with his whip to promote his upcoming 3D fighting ga-errr 3D action versus third-person free-roaming game...or whatever he keeps calling it.

...but don't call it a fighting game!

Tim The Enchanter: Jul 18th 2008; 3:59PM

You're mistaken. It's clearly an FPS.

Nmaster: Jul 19th 2008; 9:37AM

FPW

First-person Whipper

J.Goodwin: Jul 18th 2008; 1:24PM

We're not mocking Castlevania Judgement because it's a fighter, we're mocking it because it's on the Wii.

Well, maybe a little bit because it's a fighter too.

j.howlett: Jul 18th 2008; 1:50PM

at least he is still wearing pants.

profgamer: Jul 18th 2008; 2:24PM

It's looks like losing a game..

riggs: Jul 18th 2008; 2:31PM

his giving someone the loser sign from the side of his face....and it looks like its aimed at you guys!

riggs: Jul 18th 2008; 2:32PM

he's* fuck....its friday

Appdirect: Jul 18th 2008; 6:08PM

I just hope there's a whip instead of a sword.

Jim: Jul 18th 2008; 6:59PM

give him a break, will'ya!

IGA and Itagaki are the last rockstar developers in the business and they at least do something like dress-up in crazy clothes.

XDragon: Jul 19th 2008; 9:25AM

I hope the "NEXT" Castlevania is a true SOTN sequel in 2D on the home consoles.

SolidSnakeX: Jul 21st 2008; 6:18AM

I'm sorry but the game looks aimed to kids Judgement has crappy graphics as well where is a PS3 game or the sequel to CSOTN!? Lame!..where is the Hardcore Generation anymore?.Casual Market now? Omg give me a break!.Konami Never forget the ones who started this generation the early 80's players that is!
