I was thinking about this earlier. If there were gonna be a new handheld castlevania game, which system would you rather see it come out for. I'm thinking the ps vita only because I would love to see the crisp hd graphics on the handheld system. Who am I kidding, at this point I'd be excited if they announced a new vania title for the Atari lynx.
-
Well if it's a metroidvania, I'd prefer it to have the same visual style of the previous DS games, so for that I choose 3DS.
PSVita, only if they remake the "Alucardvania" for it 8)
-
i'm biased towards the 3DS, since i have one. but i would be interested in a full 3D game on the 3DS. i'd be fine if it was made by Mercury Steam. i also wouldn't mind a downloadable Castlevania ReBirth-like game with simple 3D layers.
if it were a full-metroidvania, i guess i'd still hold out hopes for one of those coming to a console. but i'd take it on a handheld if i had to. i don't feel a lot of need for a Metroidvania to be in 3D, so i'd just as soon have it be on the Vita.
-
3DS if they want to make money.
Gimme a classic styled Castlevania too like ReBirth on the 3DS eShop.
-
MetroidVania: 3DS
LoSVania: Vita
-
I'd probably say Vita just because of its hardware alone, but I haven't seen any games for either of the handhelds to convince me to buy one or the other. Man, I hope that changes.

If you want a castlevania game on a handheld your best option is always going to be a nintendo handheld. Think about this for a moment. How many castlevania games were released on every nintendo handheld? And how many castlevania games were released for other handhelds combined? And how much better were the castlevania games on the nintendo handhelds than the other handhelds?
That should pretty much sum things up for you right there.
Personally I am looking forward to 3D castlevania over HD graphics on a screen so small they don't matter. The 3DS 3D graphics are amazing for a handheld on games that use N64 textures because of the resolution tightening things up and making those old textures much much more crisp. Something with newer textures should be outstanding.
I would love to have something good to say about the sony handhelds but after owning a PSP that collects dust I just can't. It is a shame considering the hardware isn't bad and the games aren't really all that bad either. Hell the lineup for the PSP really is awesome and the prices are great but for some reason that system does not appeal to me at all. I feel the vita would be no better. My PS2 collects dust but that was because the lineup sucked balls and the hardware was subpar as well. That caused me to not buy a PS3. I wouldn't buy an xbox 360 after my initial xbox experience either though. But I own a Wii and 3DS and both of my kids have a DSi because nintendo hasn't ever let me down to date. Sure I don't care for the Wii lineup so much but it is a great family system that everyone can jump in on and play. But that 3DS rocks my socks. Eagerly awaiting the Wii-U as well.

Maybe you should just stop playing video games altogether.

I think you need a new hobby. Clearly you have absolutely no sense of quality when it comes to games or consoles.

Previously, I was unsure. Not I am un-unsure. Also read sure. We are being trolled, my brethren. Successfully too. TIME TO CUT THIS TROLL'S FOOD SUPPLY.
-
I hope they develop a CV on the 3DS. I am biased because I own one, but Nintendo handhelds do have a much better track record than Sony's. I owned a PSP and DS last gen, and outside of a few PSP titles my DS got way more play time. I don't see my self owning two current gen handhelds again this time and I've already invested in the 3DS.
-
I have no 3DS nor Vita.
I want Pachislot IV.

Actually, I have no 3DS or plans to buy one. Or a Vita, at least for a while.

Yes I am a troll because my opinion is different than your. Truly that is the definition of trolling right? So any time you disagree with another person are they trolling you?
I gave my opinion but I backed it up with facts. 6 games vs 1 I think the nintendo hardware is a better choice for future castlevania games. My opinion of sony vs nintendo aside. Happy?
-
I'd say 3DS because I'm getting one for RE Revelations at some point.
And if it's a 3D game, just put it on a console.

I've been playing Revelations and it is really good. It has a nice blend old school RE elements mixed with the new. Definitely a system seller IMO.

That's exactly the case with me as well. To be honest, I don't care what it is, as long as it's Castlevania.
-
3DS and why? Simply put Tales of the abyss that is one of the main reasons if not main THE reason why I got a 3ds and to be blunt I will not be satisfied with just a 2d vania when konami has a big chance to make the an incredible action series on the 3ds with 3d action I love 2d make no mistake, but at the sametime I am tired of 2d castlevania I do not want another 2d adventure.
-
If it's 2D, I want it on Vita, since the OLED will benefit the graphics (just look at Rayman Origins, shit is soooo cash).
If it's 3D, Vita too. =P
But if they announce it on 3DS I would get one just for it, I don't care.

Sorry, but such statement is quite...invalid, since to my knowledge there were only two handheld Castlevanias not on the Nintendo console - Tiger port of SOTN (whichs was unreleased) and Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, which many people liked and presumed that is should be the new possible direction for the series (as in 2,5D style of graphics, not classicvania gameplay).
So without solid numbers to back you off, your statement is futile.
Personally I'd like to see new "metroidvania" or "classicvania" game on 3DS and Vita should get something more ambitious. Maybe like another 2,5D game or even a full Third Person Action Castlevania.
-
Man, the Tiger handheld SotN is probably the most mysterious of Castlevania games. I'd like to play it, despite it being a severely downgraded, black-and-white port.

No.
Trolling is when you say something intentionally that you know is going to get a rise out of members such as a bold (and untrue) statement that the PS2 did not have a good line up.
One of the things PS2 was known for by millions of fans was its huge lineup that was bigger than even the Gamecube and Xbox.
Don't believe me go and look it up.
The only big series that Nintendo actually had that Sony did not was the mario,zelda,smash brothers,and metroid series.
If you where looking for those types of games than the PS2 weren't for you.
But if you where looking for
Tekken series
Grand Theft Auto series
Castlevania series
Devil May Cry series
Metal gear solid series
God of War series
Than the ps2 was the only place at the time to find them.
But whatever,
I won't be replying to you anymore so please feel free to ramble on about how your not a troll.

3DS, simply because I don't want to have to buy another system.
-
Truth to be told, MGS, GTA and DMC were also sporadically released on PC and X-Box. MGS became solely Sony exclisive only after MGS2. However PS2 had many other appreciated series and titles, like ICO, Shadow of the Colossus.
-
Screw both systems.
-
MGS on the 3DS looks sweet, although I have issues seeing the enemies on it. The 3D aspect of it though is very nice, I thought.
Castlevania doesn't have to be in 3D to be on the 3DS and still make use of the hardware. Now, I agree the Vita would do a 2D or 2.5D Castlevania great justice because of the better colors. But at the same time, the 2.5D aspect, or even 3D aspect if they went that route, wouldn't be as impressive. Sure, the colors are nicer, but you lose the true sense of depth. Shinobi and the cutscenes from Ghost Recon on the 3DS (I wish Shinobi used 3D on their cutscenes and not just in-game) are 2D but look good in 3D, because in 2D mode it looks like it's all drawn on one plane, but when you switch to 3D mode you find out it's drawn across multiple planes. It's very well done on Ghost Recon.
And another thing I noticed yesterday in Ghost Recon - if you play in 2D mode, you can't see the clouds passing over the field. When you switch on 3D mode, moving clouds appear.
-
Screw both systems.
I'll go with this.
-
i've got expectations for the 3ds, no matter what, considering how much crap i've heard of the vita.
-

By that shitty logic, SotN should never have been made. Just about all the CVs before that time were on Nintendo platforms. Thank God you weren't a Konami advisor.

After the Ps Vita Vita release i gotta say hands down vita
