I'd like a big encyclopedia of Castlevania to be made.  Give us official names for all those nameless enemies for one thing (which is always a fun thing to debate on the Castlevania Wiki).

Something akin to the Book of Lost Memories would be pretty sweet.

This would be cool. Something like the Mega Man Complete Works book; with all the official artwork they can gather, nicely scanned and with comments and whatnot. I'd buy it.

Didnt they lose a lot of old artwork during one of them old earthquakes?

Also, mind that sometimes there isnt artwork. Megaman games past 6 had FAR less actual artwork made of enemies, unlike older games, and 8 had NO enemy art, only boss artwork.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

I heard they lost some artwork from Simon's Quest during an earthquake but I don't know if it was something we have never seen before.

Konami could always release it for free for those who purchased LoS, kinda like what they did with the Metal Gear Solid 4 Database on PSN. Still, I guess I'd buy it.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

If I was Konami, I'd sit back and do absolutely nothing.  Really. : )

Then I am very thankful, that you're not them.
Should they choose to do nothing though, more money I get to keep.

To be honest, there had been released 3 encyclopedias untill now, even if no one of them was officially licensed by Konami.

Well, actually, I'm so strange that I'd probably do something incredibly huge on the 27th anniversary and do nothing on the 25th.  For the 25th, I'd probably just troll all the fans by making a big announcement that a huge surprise is coming and then not deliver on the surprise or ever mention anything about it ever again.

I'm not a troll.  I've been called an ogre, but I'm definitely not a troll. :x
