Topic: Which Castlevania has the most potential of getting a remake?

[BHunter1794]

Which Castlevania title do you think has the most chances of getting a remake (say after LoS2 is released)?

[Sindra]

Dracula's Curse.


The Chronicles games were done pretty well and didn't run too much of the risk of pissing off those who like the originals since they were pretty faithful. I can see Dracula's Curse being the next prime candidate, and indeed it's been clamored for for quite some time.

If not that, then Belmont's Revenge....but dear god PLEASE don't "remake" it the same way Adventure was "remade" with Rebirth. (aka: next to nothing like the original version of the game)

[GuyStarwind]

I got to agree with Draculas Curse.

[Kingshango]

Dracula's Curse is high on my remake scale.

[Nagumo]

Dracula's Curse and Bloodlines are the only ones I can see getting remade. They probably won't bother properly remaking the GB games because the first one got the "reimagining" treatment and Simon's Quest is probably considered to be too cryptic in nature.

As soon as I read the topic I knew everybody would say Dracula's Curse. However, I'd rather have a Simon's Quest remake. I love that game so much and I think it would make more sense, due to the poor translation of the original.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

As others have pointed out, Dracula's curse has the best chance.

It established a lot of series mainstay "Such as Alucard and the Belnades clan" and given how popular Alucard and Trevor are it would only make sense from a cash standpoint.

As for Simon's Quest, there has already been a completed hack for that and I must say it definitely feels like a true remake.

Still have yet to see a full Dracula's Curse remake hack which is why I would MUCH rather see that than have a "official remake" for Simon's Quest.

Harmony of Dissonance. In 2.5D. Oh god the glory.

A big 'no thank you' to that one. Dracula's Curse has the best chance and is the most deserving

[shelverton.]

Yeah, I'd say Dracula's Curse too. But I'd much rather see Simon's Quest being remade because it's the one that needs it the most.

Other than that I'd say that the original Castlevania has a pretty good chance of getting remade. Again. Especially after the LoS trilogy is done, Konami are gonna be confused as what to do next. Remaking the game that started it all is a pretty good start, I guess. Cause I think we can forget about revisiting anything IGA related. Dunno.

[Chernabogue]

Dracula's Curse or Bloodlines.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

Other than that I'd say that the original Castlevania has a pretty good chance of getting remade. Again

But seriously, this game has been made to many freaken times already.

Please give another game a go Konami.

Would Konami make another Chronicles title, though? Castlevania Chronicles was a remake of the Japan only Akumajou Dracula for the X68000, which caused the game to be finally released in America. Then Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles was a remake of the Japan only Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo for the PC Engine, which caused the game to be, again, finally released in America.

I always saw the Chronicles games as them remaking games that were not localized (mainly due to the fact that they were on inconvenient platforms). In any case, the only other Japan only games I can think of are Arcade and Pachislot, only the former of which would even come remotely close to getting a release in America.

I would love a localization for The Arcade for Wii-U, but I do agree Dracula's Curse is the most deserving of a remake right now for the classic titles, and for the Metroidvania titles, I personally think Aria of Sorrow.

CV2, 3, or Bloodlines.

CV3 is most-likely next to get 'the treatment'. Although I wouldn't mind CV2 getting it as it needs it when it comes to certain issues that we all know about. Bloodlines could use an update as I feel the Genesis hardware didn't do it the kind of justice that the SNES did with SCV4. I would also like to see CV: The Adventure get a "proper" remake rather then the ReBirth title we were presented with. Haunted Castle would be another one. Better graphics, controls, music, more lives, definitely way more continues and a difficulty setting. And just for kicks even CV64/LoD would really benefit from a remake point of view. I guess what it comes down to is that many of the CV titles out there could be given a face-lift by Konami. The question is which one?
