I would take either the 1999 game or the classicvania compilation. I don't think we need to see the IGA 3D games as they weren't all that great and putting them in HD isn't going to "fix" them of their short-comings. But I do also like the idea of a 2.5D CV1 remake just as longs as the graphics are well above the quality of the DXC designs.

Music compilation may be the most probable one. At least, it'll be better than the two strange Tribute Albums.

I thought Konami already released a music box set compilation?

Either the 1999 game or a 3ds 2.5d Castlevania remake.

I'd like to see a new game for 3DS, an announcement about the IGA PS3 Castlevania, and another pre-order bonus à la Portrait of Ruin. And throw in Belmont's Revenge Rebirth while you're at it.

This!

Though I was thinking full 3D. Really? When was the last time a classic Belmont traveled through 6-8 Levels to beat Dracula in 3D? (Judgment's castle mode doesn't count) This of course is likely the least probable... but properly fitting for CV's 25th IMO.
I now Prossess a what?

This fanbase's obsessions over meaningless things like "Castlevania V" and "1999" are pretty hilarious. I mean, I can't even believe it.

I suppose a 3DS game is the most likely and appealing prospect as of now. Rereleases aren't exciting, remakes and virtual releases have made the rounds enough as is, the 3D console installment turned out to be a bust as before... yeah. If they get their shit together on new handheld hardware, I'll be interested.

If Simon could take the mantle one more time, but in a 3d fashion.
I wonder what the outcome would be. (retouched by the new CV dev team?)

Maybe its the reason why DC has been quiet =D

I just want to see a compilation of classic games including the rarities like haunted castle and vampire killer with some bonuses like interviews or making of or production sketches. Something like that would be fantstic. Put it on all platforms and it would be even better.

also a new game would be great, but for an anniversary i feel like celebrating it's history is more fun than just a new game
What a horrible night to have a curse!

Make Brams Stoker's Castlevania.
Edit: A.k.a: the CV adaptation of the novel.

Another remake of CV? Dude, don't you think five is enough..?

What they really, really, REALLY should remake is Simo..or maybe I don't need to say it again. People must be getting sick of it  ;D
