remake simon's quest
the game didn't fit up much with the over cv's.

HOD? Yeah I can see that, that game was stupid easy and the plot was too bland.

Perhaps a Castlevania 1+2 type thing. One half of the game depicts Simon's first foray and the second half depicting Simon's Curse, finding the body parts, and killing Dracula once again.

That'd also work fine for the Adventure Belmonts too.

I find this one to be a cool idea. I personally would want a Castlevania 3 remake but this one actually seems pretty cool.

The only game that actually needs a remake is Simon's Quest. A lot can be done to that game. Aside from new graphics(No older-than-the-internet RoB/SotN graphics like everyone seems to want. They've been used enough! Some actual new graphics, please!) and remixed music, the mansions can be longer, better designed, and each mansion can have different music and a boss. The townspeople can also talk like normal, sane, and educated people.

Some things can stay like level 5 being the limit, classic controls(same old CV1/CV2/CV3/etc style), and lack of abilities like the double jump. Having the mobility of a character like Alucard and a double jump would just ruin the game.

Also, a Haunted Castle remake would probably be good.

I think Simon's Quest is pretty much perfect, the only thing that needs to be changed is a tougher dracula fight and it would be cool if his castle had a sort of aura around it preventing anything from getting near and entering and thus forcing you to get the magic cross to pass it. This would also help explain why it's so empty.

I'd like to see some new people (yes...I'm talking about a Western developer) do some work on it to see a fresh take that still respects all of the cliche's of CVII & CVIII. You probably got the idea by now mimic the tactics CAPCOM and GRIN did when they made BCR. (kinda off topic, but probably one of the best semi-original downloadable console title, to date, until IGA gets the right idea.)

Dracula's Curse.
Dracula's Curse.

Did I mention Dracula's Curse?  Seriously, Dracula's Curse, thank you.

[Baigan]

After seeing CoD, I fear the hand of IGA at the helm of CVIII. Though he did an alright job staying true to RoB.

CVII, I think every mansion should not have a boss. The empty mansions add to the sense of a decrepit Dracula. Empty mansions, cryptic clues, some creepy townsfolk all contribute to the general atmosphere -- an unnerving sense Dracula's Riddle is impossible. But they can make the bosses just a bit tougher.

I just want a game with Simon, it should be a total remake with diolog and new enemys also it should be a metroidvania i know alot of people dont like them but i do, i think it ads somuch fun wen u have to sit ther looking at the ledge thats a foot to high until you get the freakin double jump, thats one of the reasons i think SoTN was so fun, i think this game should really let us get to know Simon more, hes never had dialog except for a little in Simon's quest. for Simon him self I think they need to ditch the short shorts if Leon was around a 100 years befor Simon and he had pants than Simon should have pants, he kinda needs to look like a mix of chronicles (arranged) and judgement, the black leather and fire engine hair which i know is not very realistic but Juste having snow white hair long befor the envention of hair dye isnt either.

[paletteswapmonster]

also it should be a metroidvania

No, no, no, and


Making it a hemorrhoidvania would destroy the game, and it's not only because we've had so many. Simon should not have the mobility of a character like Alucard, Simon should not be able to double jump, and Simon should not be able to level up past 5. Just NO.

Isn't Chronicles already fairly close to a Metroidvania?

You haven't at least seen a video of it, let alone played it, have you?

[Battler Ushiromiya]

Nah, just screens. I don't own a Playstation.

Chronicles is just good old fashioned level based goodness!

[Battler Ushiromiya]

Ah. Oh well, a nice MetroidVania would still be nice. or whatever kind of Vania OoE would count as...
