It was at the time.

Anywho, I still think a Metroidvania of 1 and 3 would be cool. Hell, a ZeldaVania would be cool, too.

I'm all for a metroidvania, IF they make some major changes. The metroidvania is an alright concept - and perhaps they could work on it a little and bring it to the next level. I'm not sure exactly how though at this point. First of all, they should make some new graphics from scratch. I mean.. there are skeleton sprites in the newer games that they've used in Dracula X for SNES. It'd be nice to see some updates.

Or perhaps they could make a game with a similair concept to Dracula's Curse, where you can choose a path, find new characters, etc.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllll no. that would be completely gay. They'd have to completely redesign the games from the ground up. Way to short as they are for that to work. I think the Drac x chronicles treatment is all that needs to be done to 1 and 3 at the most.

I cant remember if I replied to this thread or not already and if I did I more than likely said CV2 since thats my fav CV and also the one Ive actually started remakin a few times over the years but thinkin about it more Id prolly have to say Belmonts Revenge is the one Id like to see remade the most

Dracula's Curse.
Dracula's Curse.

Did I mention Dracula's Curse?

Bloodlines, easily. So much plot couldst be crammed into that with modern stylings, and 'tis so close to our own time as to be nigh on contemporary...

PLus, the fight with Death wouldst be outstanding, and we mightst finally be told which colour Eric's hair truly is!

I'd like to see something akin to Super Mario All-Stars.. using the first three games and maybe the gameboy titles as well (using the original designs for the sprite updates, including Simon's CV1 and CV2 costumes from the NES box covers), but there should be a lot of added content:

Give Simon's Quest additional dungeons to unlock, and put a level editor into CV1.  Unlock various artwork and design notes from the games.  Unlock various CV characters (Richter, Alucard, Simon's CV1 and CV2 costumes etc) for play in any of the games (simply as a bonus).. and then even have a character editor, so you can set your own traits (like backflip jump, dash, doublejump) to any character.

It's a pipe dream, but I've been thinking of that for a long time.

The best title in my opinion to remake would be one of my favorite Castlevania game of all time... Regardless of what people thought of it because of it being adventurous and hard to finish since it had many puzzles but not much helpful clues etc...

Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest should be remade in Full 3D with additional RPG features and interactivity with people etc.

If done right it can finally appeal to those who hated this game and it would be a great 3D Action Adventure CV Game with Simon. I would love to see Simon in that artwork from CV2 in 3D, that's Simon's best design I've ever seen.

I have already said this many times: I want Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse remade for PSP the same way as Rondo was remade into DXC. It would have new art by Ayami Kojima, amazing new arrangements of old tunes and awesome graphics.

[gravekeeper]

I've actually never been a big fan of side-scrolling games in 3D (like Dracula X Chronicles). I'm not sure why. I just get the impression that the whole gameplay kinda loses its original atmosphere. I can't really say for sure though, since I've never played DXC. All I know is that I really didn't like Megaman X7 and X8 (same concept), compared to the others to the series.

But it's all okay if the characters and enemies are 2D sprites and backgrounds or something are 3D.

I really wanna try DXC but I don't own a PSP 

[Simon_Belmont_Fan]

I've got a PSP and DXC.  It's good, but I find that I don't like the controls nearly as much as the DS.  The 3D style doesn't change the control too much, but it takes some getting used to.  Even then, I still find myself playing the original games more, especially CV1, 2, 3, and 4.

That's why I'd prefer to see them made ala Super Mario All Stars, or Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix... same sprite numbers and gameplay, just updated graphics.

[Belmont-confidant]

Remaking has a great potential to put a focus the games few remember, but are still canon. The Adventure, Belmont's Revenge, Simon's Quest, and Bloodlines fall into that criteria.
