One that you'll never see unless you go to a Japanese Pachinko Machine spot.

Where good franchises go to die.
Like King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, Silent Hill, and this.

Here is what sums Konami best: "We hate our fans. We hate gaming. We decided to screw our fans by converting their favorite franchises into worthless panchinko machines to milk us money. We suck!!!" #fuckonami

Sadly though, end of the day it's the fans' fault. If they weren't making money from it, they wouldn't do it. Thinking from a business mentality: Why make a great game that might make you money, when you can make a pachinko game that will definitely make you money?

So it's the fans fault that Konami made some mediocre Castlevania games?
Certainly wasn't the fans fault that Team Silent left Konami and made some not-so-good Silent Hill games.

Konami is to blame due to their harsh treatment towards their employees that resulted in major developers to leave the company.

The other thing to consider is that Japan is in a recession of their own.
Some companies are afraid to take risks, so they go for what they know will make money. That means more mobile and more pachinko and slot machines. Stuff that's cheap and has low risk of losing them money.

Doesn't Castlevania usually do pretty poorly in the East, anyway? I mean, if it doesn't do well no matter what they do, they may as well go with a way to get them money.
