Actually that's not the best thing we can hope for. Iga has bloodstained with already a huge fan base. It would be a waste of money and a backwards move for him to buy Castlevania after creating such a buzz for his own IP. Besides, there have been plenty enough Iga Castlevania games.

The best thing for Castlevania would be a new dev who gets the game and knows how to make an awesome 2d platformer. I vote vanillaware.

I agree with your first statement. IGA now has his own franchise, with complete creative control. He can work with that from now on. It's his baby. CV will always hold a place in his heart, but I don't think it'll ever be as big as Bloodstained could possibly be, since Bloodstained is HIS.

As for CV, I don't really agree with VanillaWare. Granted, I've only played two of their games (Muramasa Rebirth and Dragon's Crown). I just don't feel they'll do it justice. None of their games have ever screamed Castlevania to me.

WayForward is definitely a good group to look toward, as they haven't yet disappointed me with a game (though I heard their 3D games are atrocious). Or even the group who made the old Metroid games. We can all guess why they'd be good (and why it'd never happen, lol).

If I could choose a company who can make a Castlevania, it's FromSoft. Souls series is what 3D Castlevania could have been. Eerie atmosphere, great level and boss designs. My dream team is Iga cooperating with Miyazaki to make a 3d Castlevania.

I wonder, do you think Nintendo would ever be interested in buying the Castlevania IP to broaden its base of franchises/genres?

I would extend that curiosity toward other in-limbo IPs that succeeded on Nintendo consoles, like Megaman and Bomberman, too.

This thread has derailed once more into the Castlevania topic and what everyone has been saying was already said before.
Please keep this one all about Bloodstained.

konami will never sell Castlevania to anyone. if konami goes under then castlevania goes with it #facts

[uzo]

Crisis is right. It is extraordinarily rare for a game company to sell it's IP. They hold on to it with a death clutch just in case one day they can leverage it for a quick buck. They certainly have not burned through every ounce of Castlevania's good will yet. They're FAR from even the remote possibility of selling it. The entire company would have to collapse and they initiate a sell off of their assets. Fun fact though, Konami isn't doing bad as a whole. Just bad at not-casino games. You may as well give up any notion of it happening.

Sega effin GAVE the Shenmue license to Yu Suzuki. Or at least they allowed him to make Shenmue 3.  That is unheard of. Konami would probably never do anything like this. They'd rather let all their franchises die than let someone with passion have a go.

That's what I mean about when a company collapses, like Sega did.

Hi, did anyone get survey emails? I haven't got anything of the sort, I'm wondering if I should of by now. I never backed a kickstarter before, so I have no idea how it works.

[beingthehero]

I've gotten nothing either...

I was wondering the same thing. Nothing yet.

[Maedhros]

Sometimes they just ask when the game is almost ready. So just wait, guys.

MN9 still haven't asked about the platforms we will want the keys, and it's coming soon.
