Topic: Wouldn't it be cool if Wayforward got to make a new Castlevania game?

seriously though, i've been eyeing these guys for a while. Other than vanillaware, i think they are one of the only companies who are still giving 2d action a good name. How do we make this happen

I don't see why not, Contra 4 kicked ass and Bloodrayne Betrayal is looking sweet. Im sure they would make a excellent Castlevania.

Wish upon a star

Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight

Do you wish for a WayForward 2D Castlevania to be in sight?

I fully endorse this idea. Shantae and Shantae DS are extraordinarily exceptional games.

I think you miss the recent DS game Thor, God of Thunder (a cool-looking game), from WayForward, too.

Also, if I remember, for the Contra 4 game, they made a 20th anniversary game, isn´t? I like it a lot, with a museum: screenshots of ALL Contra games and commentaries from them, an interview, extra characters, a Contra III comic and the thing that I like it the most: Contra and Super C!!!!!!!!! Emulated from the NES, of course, but a really nice addition to the 20th anniversary game. Now that´s a real anniversary game, not like the Portrait of Ruin one (although, that box doesn´t come with a 20th anniversary tag). Imagine a new Castlevania for DS (or 3DS), with a museum, emulated games (maybe CVI, CVII, CVIII, SCVIV, Bloodlines and CDX), a music box, an interview with IGA (and maybe with Dave Cox ), and maybe a 2 screen gameplay...

C´mon, if Konami´s president takes a few seconds to mention the 25th anniversary of Castlevania in the E3 pre-conference, there were a reason to do that. I really hope that Castlevania will have a worthy celebration this year . Maybe we will have to wait until TGS...

I'd love to see Wayforward take a stab at a Castlevania game. I already said in another thread that Contra 4 was one of the best games I've ever played, and that's not an exaggeration. Played that one for a while, until I could finally beat it on Hard...probably one of the most rewarding feelings I've had playing a game in recent memory. You could tell the game was a labor of love, and the difficulty, controls, weapons, etc. were absolutely perfect.

If Wayforward could do that with Contra, I think they could make an excellent Castlevania game, without question.

Yeah, I said they should be handed the CV series back when Contra 4 came out.  There were a lot of people saying that, IIRC.  It would be phenomenal.  I could be wrong on this, but I think the developers back then said that making a CV would be their dream job.
