Fucking YES


Abaddon was a cool boss, as was Gergoth, Adremelech & the Wolfman. Legion has had way too many appearances.. but I always enjoy fighting it/them.

I would like to see Abraxas portrayed, as well as several other demons from Christian, Sumerian, Japanese, etc. mythology.

What Crisis said. I've just been bored with the bosses for each new Castlevania. They are almost the same. We need some new. Damn you IGA! Why can't you think something more creative?

I'm almost- almost- certain that the producer has no involvement over who comes up with the bosses. I'm fairly certain that has to do with the programmers or enemy design team- glancing at the credits of Aria and Portrait of Ruin, I don't see IGA as part of any of these groups...

Damn, IGA must be a one-man team.

He's the one who should be giving the approval for things though. After all, he's the head of the entire cv section, and he does play the games they make, so he should be able to notice things that are wrong with them and point that out.

Ah hah! You guys just answered your own question.

The next CV should include the IGA-Legion. He is many, he is one. Just imagine a giant ball of nude Igas. THINK ABOUT IT.

No, they should use the old bosses. In fact, they should just use one of the old bosses and have you fight them 100 times. How does everyone feel about Brauner? A vampire wearing an 80's suit and painting.

(....Bob Ross should be in the next castlevania. Main Character ftw!)

Nowadays you are either a graphics whore or a fanboy. BR is Shank not CV. It is ridiculous to think that it is better than CV. If it was CV then it would be what RE4 is to Resi, a series killer. Dumb it down and make it look pretty. Enough idiots will buy it.

I would like some more creative bosses, especially considering PoR totally missed out on making Vampire Hitler.

But yeah, I like the mythology ideas other people mentioned. Having an Egyptian based area in PoR was pretty damned cool; I'd like other culture specific areas like that.

I think there were some really good bosses in PoR. Keremet comes to mind and the PoR version of Dullahan was awesome.

I'd like it where you have to fulfill certain conditions to beat the boss like (and I'm only using this as an example because I can't think of a better one) God Of War. Maybe in order to defeat a certain boss, a vampire for example, you have to beat him with the Cross or soemthing like that. It'd put a new twist on boss fights and make them a little more strategic.
