What do you mean? Do you actually think IGA would do that?

Well, I intended it to be humorous, but considering they just pulled out a Contra 4, I think the idea is open for serious discussion. Maybe. A little bit.

Hopefully next console game will be labelled castlevania V

[Profbeanburrito]

Well, IGA keeps saying that if DXC does well enough he wants to do another level based game like the classics. I really wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a CV5 out

[Profbeanburrito]

of course, in Japan Super Castlevania IV wasn't really CV IV it was just Akumajou Dracula. I don't think any of them were really ever numbered in Japan?

[le052383]

Pbb is right.  The numbering system was only used in the US, Europe, and the GB games.

As someone have already said, CV4 is really a remake.  So it is really up to Konami of America and maybe not IGA in making the next "Castlevania 5"

[Azmodan]

Well, technically Castlevania II was Dracula II: The Accursed Seal in Japan...so one was numbered.

[James Belmont]

I think that in order for it to really be a Castlevania 5, it would have to feature Simon. The only numbered CV that didn't was Castlevania 3, I know, but still. It's never been explained what happened to him later on.

It's usually never explained what happens to the Belmonts after they defeat Dracula.. I wanna know the details between Richter & the passing of the whip to the Morris'.

A castlevania 5 would be cool. Yes the metroidvania's are nice, but with the technology that they have now, imagine what they could make for the Castlevania 5!

[Slayer]

Rondo of Blood wasn't a Metroidvania.  If anything, that could be considered CastleVania 5.

Maybe, if it was ever make it out of Japan! But since it didn't make it out of Japan (the remake of Dracula X  doesn't count) you can't name it Castlevania 5.

Why wouldn't it count? It's the same thing, only much much better!

EDIT:
Oh, and regarding another level based classic styled game, no. I say either improve on the 3-D ones and actually give us a good game to play, or give us a mindblowingly huge SotN-styled one. (sorry, Metroidvania is starting to sound too strange...And Casteroid STILL strikes me as something you get if you're overly promiscuous with the wrong people...)
