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

[Chernabogue]

yes, it could work, but who would we control (trevor, alucard, grant, or sypha)?  or, they could go the same route as Secret of Mana in that while all the characters are present you only control one at a time while the others are controlled by AI, but you can cycle through the characters and control who you want.

That was the idea. You push one button, and you switch Trevor > Sypha > Grant > Alucard. Or you could change the order as you want in a menu.

Now, this may sound like a side note but it's important. I know because recently I showed the original Rondo to someone who knows only the newest CV, plus the very first.

You need the unity of the metroidvania formula nowadays, or it will look like a little gimmick game: think megaman and its separate stages. They can be the funniest, greatest stages full of secrets and interactivity... but will never compete with the awesome wholeness of being playing in the one big world of CV.

CV3 was incredible, I still remember buying it at the shop: having seen OOE (long plain stages like CV2), even the level design would be ok but the world must be one. And more than OOE's: imho we need a different engine which can handle everything without you ever crossing a screen border.

Theres a CV3 remake fan game out there floating around the net called 'Super Castlevania 3'. I've never played it, (I don't think its finished), but from the demo videos and playtests I've seen it appears to be a well made game.

I don't know the people who are making it and know nothing about it beyond that it exists and that videos of its mechanics in action are viewable on youtube.

With the 3DS you could use the D-Pad or Circle Pad as a 'quick change' button.
That would be cool.

It's probably Obreck's version. There is demo somewhere, i checked it, and it plays and looks very good, really.

Thats the one I'm meaning to say, Viper.

Where's the demo? I want to give it a try!

I wouldn't be upset if that happened, but I think the resources would be better spent on new and original projects.

Agreed entirely.

Though I do think that the 3DS would be a good platform to bring back CV3 if that's what they wanted to do.

Like a hooker?

Her cleavage was an eye-drawer, but I was mainly talking about how her face looked. Very, very sensual. Almost as if she could see what you're thinking. I do find such qualities quite attractive in a woman.

Oh man, I am entirely with you there. Laura was hands-down one of the hottest women in recent Castlevania games. Those eyes just draw you in. I also think it was really sexy that, yeah she showed cleavage, but otherwise she was modestly -- even ornately -- dressed.  When you have characters like the Succubus and Angela, it seems that they're trying too hard. I think the pinnacle of being attractive is knowing how much is too much, and how little is too little and being able to find the balance.

I think Shanoa could fit into this category too, but Laura struck me way more.

I'm wondering when we'll finally hear anything on Castlevania 3DS in general, I hope something happens at E3 this year. Still crossing my fingers for a traditional Castlevania instead of a Metroidvania.
