I think Nintendo has Retro chained by the hip but it would be awesome if they did a Castlevania game.

Maybe it's that Contra reboot.

Contra reboot.... "Contra: Tides of War". Set in a realistic, gritty world, it abandons the whole alien aspect and spins a "Medal of Honor" type setting applied to a 3D take on the original's action gunner/platformer.  ;D

You know, Cox said he wanted to work on a Contra game, and Konami's E3 2011 teaser is supposedly unrelated to the 3DS Contra game they announced a year prior.

But at the same time, I do believe MercurySteam had a prototype Castlevania test running on 3DS, so this can go either way..

I guess LoS 2 is pretty much inevitable, though I'd prefer they stay away from Castlevania. The Contra reboot sounds plausible for game #2.

I'd love a Retro-made Castlevania. Maybe if Konami made one for the 3DS, Wii, or Wii U, Nintendo would let them "borrow" Retro.

No, not IGA




It's either them or no one else.

I'd love this, but sadly they'll likely be occupied with the Silent Hill game no one will buy. Great going Konami.

LoS2 needs improvements over LoS to look at all appealing to me. And Cox confirmed he isn't doing the Contra reboot, so it might be for some other publisher?

Retro Studios + Castlevania = EXTREME WIN!

Those guys did an EXCELLENT job with both Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country.  There were so many ways to FUBAR those games, but they RESPECTED the source material --and I daresay, outdid Ninetendo on their own turf...

I'd LOVE to see someone put Konami to shame like that...

Quality game? Sure. Quality Castlevania game? Dunno yet.
At this point even that would be good.

Besides, everyone have different opinions about what Castlevania is, so for some LOS is the Castlevania already.

Yea but the fact remains that LOS has obviously divided the Castlevania fanbase.

I agree that it may be a good idea to let some other developer handle the castlevania game.

Questionable. I never got into the series, for example.

I agree with everything else you said. Even if I don't like a lot of things of the Prime series, I see they keep the essence of the series intact. Same with Donkey Kong Country Returns.

How about and I feel like I am beating a dead horse with these two :rollseyes:

Yet Hard corps, Muramasa, and Odin Sphere are awesome games so maybe it is not that bad to mention these two:)

Come on now this was going to happen eventually  :P

Ah my two favorite studios. I'm not sure about Arc System though, unless they make a CV fighter(in 2D of course).
But I think VanillaWare can pull off a good castlevania game, just because they're badass at 2D.
I'm playing Muramasa right now. Excellent game.It's a little more action based than Odin Sphere, but the graphics are gorgeous and the story is epic. And the music is awesome too.
Yep they really should work on CV.

I'd wager it's LoS2 and something non-CV related. I'd assume they'll still be developing other games for other companies.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.
