Topic: Should Castlevania 3 be remade on the 3DS?

[darkwzrd4]

I'm all for a remake.  I also like the idea of character specific levels.  I once had an idea for games that tell the origin of characters like Sypha.  For example, you would play as Sypha through her own story which would end with her being petrified by the cyclops.  If a remake of CV3 comes out for the 3DS, such a game about Sypha could be DLC.  The same could go for Grant and possibly Alucard.

If I wanted to see a remake of CV3 then it should be in the epicness of SCV4. And If Konami decides to do CV5 it should have all the epicness that made SCV4 so...Epic!

One thing is a certain: They need to do something on Castlevania's 25th anniversary.

This should've been a poll, methinks.
Also, yes it should be made.  Lord knows I tried to do it. xD

What ever happened to that?  From the videos of gameplay called walkabouts posted on youtube, it seemed to be coming along quite nicely and then nothing.  It was looking like it would be a decent homebrew game too.

I can't find a programmer willing to continue with the current code.  EVEN WITH THE OLD PROGRAMMER AS AN ADVISOR!

People look at the code and immediately want to make the damn thing from scratch all over (which I don't want to do), and don't even bother sending the original programmer an E-mail or anything.

There's somebody else on the net who's making their own CV3 remake and it looks well done too.. I don't know how far it's come, but it does look promising.

HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!


no but seriously YES they should....or why not do it as a a whole NES trilogy remake......... the storage of the cards should have heaps of room to compensate.

Hehe. This brings back memories.

I never did get around to playing CV3. A remake would be certainly nice, but it's not like an absolutely needed thing.

Same with me.  I never had an NES and I refuse to play any games on computer emulators.  I also think most of us who never had an NES as well as newbies to the franchise need to experience CV3.  That is why I champion a remake of CV3.

[CastleToastM]

True that. I don't want to play on an emulator, since it wouldn't feel the same as on the NES, you know? There's also no way that I'll going to shell out for a USB controller.

Vets of the series talk about CV3 being great, but I really haven't experienced it.

Something like Dracula X Cronicals would be nice.

Play it on Virtual Console on the Wii.

Maybe I'm just weird but I did get the chance to play it on my NES (before it broke ), and maybe I'm just weird but I thought it was easier with a keyboard... Also, the convenience of just using save states to save your place rather than writing done those passwords is nice. So it doesn't really matter if you emulate. And while its a good game, I don't think its great, I still feel that CV1 is the best the NES games 

A remake would definitely be nice. It would be nice if it was actually just a new game focusing on using 4 different characters rather than just a graphically enhanced identical game like DXC. I think there are definitely some interesting things to be explored with this mechanic, and since most of us have all played CV3 anyway, it would be nice to have something new. Also newer fans who don't like Classicvanias will buy it. I fear that without something like SotN that DXC had, a lot of the newer "fans" wont bother buying it because of the difficulty. Its pathetic that there is still discussion at Gamefaqs about whether or not its worth buying the game for SotN (Its worth buying the damn game for Rondo!), and without something to bring casuals in it might bomb financially.

That's a good idea there Harrycombs. In the original game, once you met your ally you have a brief description, nothing more. If they made a remake then they could put more resources into the story and have special in-game cut-scenes for the characters in order to progress the story. Like the did in Rondo but maybe a little more so.
