Castlevania I and III are pretty much perfect as they stand. I have two gripes with III but nothing that could really tarnish it. It's a fucking masterpiece. I mean a put your nuts in a garbage disposal fucking masterpiece. The only gripes that I had with DC was the lack of fade out on music approaching bosses (ala CVI, IV and Chronicles). Sorry but atmosphere is what makes the series unique. Two, the control on Trevor was a little bit stiffer than Simon's Quest and well the first games controls have a quirk in them that I just like more that these two. But suffice it to say I don't believe that those two games need a remake. Would I be opposed to III being remade though?????? HELLL FUCK NOOOOOOO!!!!! By all means remake it......... after you remake, remodel, renovate and reinvent Castlevania II Simon's Quest. That game has butt loads of potential ideas and places to improve. No Castlevania game is perfect IMO but no Castlevania game is ever, ever lacking on genius. Not even Judgement, it's just miles short on execution. You can remake that too. But.

SIMON'S QUEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember my name and know this. I have Suffolk Down Syndrome.


Stop me if you've heard this one.
A Belmont falls through a trap door into a square prison with no exits. After hitting three sides he smashes through the last one. Relieved and low on health he looks at the camera, smiles and says......"Pork chop?"
ULTIMATE FOURTH WALL BREAK!!! That just happened!!!

The fact I am even posting this is lol, because this won't get remade before other Castlevania games I wouldn't think but I would say Rondo of Blood. That and SoTN are my favorites, SoTN really is what got me into Castlevania.

Dude, RoB already had a remake (DXC).
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Edit: Ok I did some research, PSP only, the game looks like shit and would never play it. It is nothing against PSP, I played AoS and loved it on the PSP long time ago. Maybe DXC is good though and am just judging it by the visuals of the game (which I don't like lol).

Not playing it just because of the graphics? Dude, you're missing out on quite a bit here.

Dracula's Curse.


The Chronicles games were done pretty well and didn't run too much of the risk of pissing off those who like the originals since they were pretty faithful. I can see Dracula's Curse being the next prime candidate, and indeed it's been clamored for for quite some time.

If not that, then Belmont's Revenge....but dear god PLEASE don't "remake" it the same way Adventure was "remade" with Rebirth. (aka: next to nothing like the original version of the game)

Pretty much what Sindra said. Only I liked the ReBirth concept, So if they did do Belmont's Revenge I'd prefer not to have to "dig" to see the connection to the original. I don't wanna have to squint, ya dig? And for the love f the cosmos, use the right freakin' music. Gonna add more stages? OK. THEN you can remix more classic tunes.

Well if the Facebookers have their way, it would be SotN.   :rollseyes:

Seriously, the Castlevania page will have something about a boss from Castlevania 4 or something, and there will be a bunch of people commenting on it, with a stupid "You should remake SotN!!1!1". Those comments don't even have a thing to do with the picture! I should stop reading those. It's like Youtube comments: I just need to teach myself to stop reading them, and life will be far less annoying.

Anyway, yeah 3 would be one kickass remake if done well. It'd be neat to see a bunch of cool stuff added to 2 as well. Maybe more weapons, more bosses, more songs for larger open areas, different themes for each mansion... Yeah.

AoS is not on the PSP. AoS is on the GBA.

I think he's using a GBA emulator on the PSP.

I think Simon's Quest would benefit the most from a remake. I can't see Dracula's Curse being improved upon.

...I'd still play the shit out of a CVIII remake, but I suppose that's a moot point.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

No it had to have been a GBA then, I must have owned one, I remember playing & beating the game though for sure. Far as DXC goes, I am judging the game from what I have seen, they literatly updated the graphics and not in a good way my opinion. It looks like the first two Ultima Online 3D graphic clients they released back in the day, the original 2D graphics looked better. RoB looks way better then DXC, thats just my opinion.

Dracula's Curse, please.

A majority of fans would agree.

Dracula's Curse. After Lords of Shadow 2, I'd love to see a remake of Dracula's Curse. Maybe by Wayforward.

Maybe they can remake Lords of Shadow into a Castlevania game.  :P
