Topic: Next Castlevania?

Posts 1 to 20 of 27

Well now that we FINALLY have 1-4, what do you guys think the next Castlevania to arrive on VC will be? Certainly it will be another of the 16-bit entries in the series. I'm prediciting the lone Genesis game, Castlevania: Bloodlines, which is a pretty good one IMO. Although Castlevania: Dracula X for the SNES is possible as well.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that a small miracle will happen and we'll get Rondo of Blood. Come on Hudson, Konami and Nintendo; make it happen!

I think Bloodlines will be released eventually, but it wouldn't surprise me to see the GB games released at some point either as they sold fairly well from what we've seen in previous interviews.

Plain old gamer :)

Though it'll never happen, unless they remix it somehow so it's not a direct port, Symphony of the Night on WiiWare would be wonderful. Since the 360 has it on Live, it's not like it's a Sony exclusive anymore. Rondo of Blood seems as doubtful as SotN.

Realistically, I think Bloodlines will be next, and then Dracula X from the SNES.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. Because Hudson is re-supporting the Virtual Console (At a much slower pace), this is a good possibility. We'll see it eventually, maybe even around Haloween. Then again, maybe not (Refering to the North American Virtual Console release of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, which took us about four months to get after Europeans.).

I think we'll get Rondo of Blood, probably around Holloween time. I would bet that the SNES version of Dracula X isn't in the cards for a VC release what with the superior version likely coming instead.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid: Other M
Zelda Wii
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Sin and Punishment 2

I hate to be the bear of bad news, but we'll be seeing that inferior port instead, just because it's in "English". What makes you think that we'll see the TurboGrafx-16 port of Dracula X?

The SNES version isn't really a port, it's a completely different game that just uses the same name and some of the same assets; the levels are completely different (not more than a vague resemblance between them, if you ask me), you don't even have the second playable character (which is fundamental to the TG16 game), etc. It's like a spin-off of the TG16 game, at best, and one of the weaker links in the Castlevania series. The TG16 game, however, is easily in the top 3 Castlevania games of all time.

Twitter is a good place to throw your nonsense.

Call me crazy, but I like Dracula X. It's definitely the weaker of the 2 SNES games, but it's still a fine game, if a tad short. I would preferably like to see BOTH Dracula X and Rondo of Blood on VC, but that's a long shot.

I hope they bring Bloodlines (Genesis) and Rondo of Blood (TGX16)

Bloodlines and Dracula's Kiss is going to happen just to cash in the popularity of the Castlevania name more than anything else, also to have a complete collection of 8-bit and 16-bit CV games. I may download Bloodlines because I had it originally before I was a Castlevania fan but I don't know about Vampire's Kiss. Maybe if I one day have some spare points going unused.

Castlevania Bloodlines/A New Generation/Vampire Killer [NA/EU/JP] - I've been interested in playing this game for years.

One of the reasons I'm interested in the MegaDrive Castlevania title is because I looked up how challenging it was, and I love challenge in a video game.

To each their own

Bloodlines would be nice.

I guess I should thank Hudson, Konami and Nintendo for making it happen. Now bring on Bloodlines!

We already got Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. The next game is probably Castlevania: Bloodlines

Wish I could say the N64 Castlevania games were next, but Controller Pak isn't supported.
