A Castlevania game for the 3DS is pretty much confirmed IMO. CV games have always been with Nintendo handhelds since the beginning

Yeah, but that was pre-reboot. The question is, is Konami going to continue with the Japo-Saga? I hope so, but it's uncertain at this point.

Well, Cox has repeatedly said that his game isn't canon and isn't connected to the official timeline, which leads me to believe Konami isn't planning on erasing all the other games just yet. LoS is Castlevania reborn on consoles, not rebooted. We'll see.

"Erasing" the older games would be downright absurd. I think Konami is mighty proud of the series, and I definitely think LoS is - like you say - Castlevania reborn, not rebooted. The old games are classics and will live on forever. If LoS is a success I bet Konami will milk the franchise for all its worth - not retcon stuff - and a Dracula's Curse remake is more than likely if that happens.

A 2D game for the 3DS would be gnarly if they used the 3D effects to enhance the backgrounds. 3D stuff beyond simple aesthetics doesn't have much of a place in Castlevania, though. I'd prefer it for the 3DS mainly because it will likely be a cheaper system and will not break due to complications with many fragile and perpetually moving parts, something I loathed about my PSP and still loathe about newer consoles.

I agree completely. Never thought about that possibility with the 3DS. And I agree also with your comment about the durability of the system. Thank god I don't need the analog stick to play DXC (to my knowledge, anyway), because mine's busted. T_T

It would be killer to have it for the DS. It would be cooler if they ported the first three games into a single DS game, letting you choose which one you wanna play.

I fully support any remake of any old school CV title (CV I II III IV or Bloodlines are basically it). I must admit that the atmosphere for CV III was the most distant from what I love about the series as far as the aforementioned titles go. One thing I want them to do is to get the art style to be an update of the texture, color and ambiance of the NES/Famicom production and the music should be done with an emphasis on making it more creep up on you spooky. Please see my incarnations of the music on Youtube under the name Homie0static to get an understanding of what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/user/Homie0static

Revisiting "Dracula's Curse" ah that would be fun.
I never could find a copy when I was a younger lad. I played it at a friend's house.
Memories ^_^

Whatever format it could be released on, bring it on! =D

[Bad Wolf]

Would be nice. Could be nice. But I won't hedge bets.

[Felix]

Hell yeah. On DSiWare.

I've got a shitload of DSi Points. I wanna use 'em.

I'm definitly all for it! A CV3 remake in the same type of atmospheric quality as SCV4. And let us all pray the IGA doesn't get it into his head to degrade Sypha like he did with Maria in DXC. That was shameful and dishonorable. Death before dishonor IGA, death before dishonor.
