Topic: Circle of the Moon: Chronicles?

[CVfan13]

Does anyone else think that CotM was a great game, and it should not have been taken out of the official timeline? I think the storyline around it had a lot of potential and it deserves some sort of "Chronicles" treatment, like that of DXC and Castlevania Chronicles. Maybe a 2.5D remake of it would be nice (for PSP maybe?), also including a brand new prequel (which would also be a sequel to SotN) and/or a sequel? Maybe it could have the original 2D game too? What do you think. Does Castlevania: Circle of the Moon deserve this kind of treatment?

CotM was a great game, but its backstory directly conflicted with SotN, but who cares.

Maybe later on something like that would be alright, but that game isn't that old at all. And it's not really rare or Japanese exclusive. Interesting idea, though.

Does Castlevania: Circle of the Moon deserve this kind of treatment?

Not in my opinion. Or, at least not compared to a good number of other games in the series, such as Simon's Quest, Dracula's Curse, or the Gameboy games.

Circle of the Moon's not a bad game, but it's definitely not Chronicles worthy. If anything is (and it is most likely to be the next Chronicles game) it's Dracula's Curse.

Besides, it'd be great if they'd Chronicle it cause then they could throw in Curse of Darkness along with it. It'd be a sweet package

Circle won't get the Chronicles treatment. It's not even canon anymore. IGA would probably laugh at the idea.

It won't, but once I got used to it, it was one of my favorite Castleroid style games. I think if they DID remake it for some reason, it'd beat out a lot of the existing games.

I'd much rather see Castlevania Adventure & Belmont's Revenge as the next Chronicles title. And then after that the n64 games.

After all that's accomplished, then I'd welcome CotM Chronicles.

My first thought on this is that it's far too new, but then...it took six years to get the second Chronicles game, so perhaps in 2013 CotM won't be so new anymore.  Still, we need a Chronicles version of Vampire Killer and Haunted Castle first.

O_O "Chronicles 64!" Man, that would be AWESOME! If I knew IGA didn't hate those games so much, I'd start a writing campaign to Konami about it!

The thing to remember is Circle of the Moon and both N64 titles (which are great by the way, don't care what anyone says..) were developed by Konami's Kobe division. Iga really had nothing to do with them. All great titles, but don't fit in with his timeline. A good "chronicles" idea would be the 16 bit titles.

AahHaa! Now I see why Iga took them out of the official timeline...he didn't make them...yeah. But yeah, I see now...THAT'S why Circle is...what it is...

[Long John Silver]

He didn't make any of the games before he joined either. He only removed the stuff that was slapped in without regards to any other game while he already estabilished his timeline.

[soulreaver]

That would be good since that was one of my favorites.

Unless IGA remakes them HIS way, which would mean a revamped story and a different placing in the timeline(so they wouldn't conflict with other games), none of the retconned games will EVER be remade on IGA's watch. And, even if he DID(and it's the way I described above), original fans would be pissed. I can be sure IGA would remove some characters, maybe get rid of Nathan altogether(and put someone like Richter into the game).
