Do you think Konami and Nintendo will make this happen? GBA should be coming eventually to the eshop. Its seems crazy for them not to... Surely all three Castlevanias would sell extremely well. Who knows maybe we will get lucky hear some news during E3?
-
i'm still waiting for The Adventure to become available and announced for north america. did it come out in japan yet?
-
I hope so, knightmere-chan. Despite the fact i & all of us own the physical copies, i would prolly by them again for my 3DS. My Only hope would be they make it pseudo-3D... maybe not o.o;
Reinhartchan77, me too.. me too

I want 3d classics castlevania did they not have this at e3 at one point in time?
-
Yeah, GBA on the eshop needs to happen very soon. I'd buy all three games in a heartbeat even though I already own them. I wonder if Nintendo will announce downloadable GBA games at E3? It's well over due! Please please please. I really want the Kirby games too, and Metroid Zero Mission. And Golden Sun. And Fire Emblem. And and and..

Preferably, not before Nintendo fixes the way GBA games are played on the 3DS. As it is right now, all Ambassadors get is just the game- can't tap the screen or close the system to pause it, unlike the NES and GB/C games; the games also suffer from a piss poor, pixelated stretching and scaling of the screen (as opposed to the very smooth scaling of the GB/C games)... and no, I'm not gonna press SELECT on the Home Menu to play the games on a tiny-ass screen with an enormous ugly black border either. Basically, the GBA emulator for 3DS is incredibly half-assed at the moment, which needs to kinda not be a thing if the GBA is made available to the general public... but maybe things have changed already; I haven't touched the GBA games on my 3DS in ages.
But yeah, I'd totally be all over having all 3 GBA Castlevanias on my 3DS either way. I'd probably destroy my L/R buttons from Harmony of Dissonance, though. :P

Eh it would be cool I suppose to get them more exposure. And so they could all be judged fairly on their individual merits by a whole new audience who don't have to worry about an un-backlit screen. I wouldn't buy them even if I had a 3DS though, I'm not big on rebuying things I already own if there's not some sort of major upgrade involved. Which is especially not the case when I can play these games on my tv with the Gamecube.
-
I'll bet that you will see them arrive just after Mirror of Faith. I would assume they'd want to generate console specific interest first, then ride the hype and popularity off of that by releasing them a month or so after MoF's release. That's the best way I can think of to market them.

What do you guys think if one special retro CV were bundled in as an unlockable game in Mirror of Fate?
That might be a possibility.
With 3D, even, like the Kid Icarus, Kirby, Xevious, and Excitebike titles.

Interesting idea. As the game will have both Trevor and Simon in it, it seems logical that the first three NES titles could be packaged like this.

CV1 with 3D graphics would certainly be something.

CV3 would be even better :D
-
wasn't CV1 already demo'd in 3D way back when 3DS was first revealed? I recall several articles at the time saying how neat it looked
wtf konami?

I was wondering the same. It was never mentioned beyond that E3.
-
They did it with Twinbee, why not with Castlevania?
I'd pay for it.

Also Xevious which is also by Konami.

I see that they are releasing original Game Boy games like some of the Mario Land and Zelda titles. My guess is that up next they will do Game Boy Color, so who knows if and when we will see GBA on the 3DS. I know they can do it because they gave away those Ambassador GBA games last year, including Mario Kart Super Circuit which a bunch of fans were complaining that they wanted to purchase but could not.
I wonder if they are waiting a few years before they put GBA titles on 3DS. But by the time they get around to it, they may be ready for the next handheld system, so they might make us wait for that one.
I probably would not purchase any of the Castlevania GBA games on 3DS because I still have the Gamecube with Game Boy Player, and would rather play those games on the TV. But it still would be great for these games to be released on 3DS so others could enjoy.

How do they look running on the Game Boy Player? Are they heavily pixelated due to the increased screen size?

I think they look good, especially AoS and CotM. GBA was a 32bit system so they were able to put in a good amount of detail as compared with say SCV4, but it shows that they were designed for a lower-res screen. Look up some youtube videos of the games running on the player to see what you think. The GB player also has the option to blur/smooth the pixels somewhat. It should be noted that the dpad on the gamecube is terrible though, at least with the way it is placed. You can use the joystick though.

I don't think it ruins the games, because the Player was made for GBA games. I don't even think it messes up the Game Boy Color games either.
I wouldn't want you to run out and buy a Gamecube just for this in case you don't like the resolution, but I have no problem with playing the GBA and Game Boy Color games on the Gamecube. Maybe you can try it out at a used game store to see if you like it.
Actually now that I think about it, there are quite a few GBA games that I have only played on Gamecube, and never on the actual GBA. I found it easier to play the Castlevania and Mario games on Gamecube due to the controller. I know when I bought the Gamecube Player I wound up getting a bunch of Game Boy Color games that I would have never thought of before. I actually play more GBA and GBC games on the Gamecube than actual Gamecube titles.

Thanks for the input I don't think i'm going to go buy a Gamecube for this purpose... I was just curious is all. And your website rocks btw :D

As far as I know, there were some games that were 'optimized' for the Gameboy Player, meaning that if you played these games on the Gameboy Player, you would experience brighter graphics, etc. There was a palette usually assigned just for the Gameboy Player.
If I recall, the games would have a calling card at start-up that said "Gameboy Player". I remember also that some of the games added RUMBLE when you would play them on the Gameboy Player with your Gamecube Controller. It would rumble, which was a kinda neat feature. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was one of these.
-
I can see this happening. Castlevania The Adventure is available, right? Now we just have to wait for the eshop to start selling GBA titles.
That could possibly take awhile, though I would love to be proven wrong.

Thanks, I think you were on it at one point, or someone was with your username.

I'd like GBA CV's on the 3DS, with a graphical and sound upgrade.
