Of course they forgot the story. It's not going to make the gameplay any more compelling if they bothered to make one.

I really enjoyed iDracula way back. It is still one of those games that I wish they would improve on. This looks interesting but I think these kind of games need something more about it than just walking in random directions, picking up powerups, etc. There needs to be more strategy.

On second thought, the artstyle of the font, lifebar, joysticks, radar and even enemies do look strikingly similar to iDracula. I wouldn't be surprised to learn this was started shortly after iDracula came out, went on a shelf for a few months, then was brought back out upon the success of Alive 4-ever.

I don't get why "Ghouls & Garters" didn't cross their mind. Swap the two words and it's suddenly a much more comfortable thing to say. Sounds a little more like the Capcom naming that I'm sure they're trying to sound like too. (Fortunately I don't think there's anything Capcom can do about it: the game isn't a 2d platformer, there's no knight/princess story, they didn't use "n" instead of "and", and there's no "Ghosts" in the name - which is a generic word, so they don't have any legal sway there. Nicely done naming.)
