Topic: New Castlevania!!!???!!! (DS)

The DS's visual capabilities are comparable to the PlayStation's.  It's certainly well beyond the SNES's limitations.  The problem is that its abilities aren't being properly utilized.

That seems to be the case with a lot of Nintendo's products..  :

the genres they used for the paintings were good enough that I didn't mind seeing them twice, and 13th Street is one of my most favorite video game stages of all time.

One of my favorite parts of PoR is that the bosses you fight before Dracula are the Mummy, Frankenstein, and The Wolfman.  FINALLY getting a little back to it's Uni. Monster roots.

Yeah I agree and I personally think that Medusa in that is probably the coolest version, in looks and in the fight itself, in any game

Wolf man wasn't a part of classic castlevania bosses. It wasn't until Rondo that he really became a returning boss, up to the point of sprite reuse (not even a boss actually, he was downgraded to a normal enemy in aos).

Now giant bat, that's a different story. Sotn had all 4 classic monsters + Death in inverted castle, and all of them held Drac's relics needed to confront the man himself.

[Munchy]

To be honest, though... I'd just like another DXC.  That game was just Win-Win for me.

So agreed. Dracula Densetsu Chronicles plz.

I said Universal Monsters...  Castlevania was made with them in mind.  Konami has always cashed in on movies...
Cv 1 cover = Conan The Barbarian
Metal Gear cover = Mad max, then terminator
Contra = Alien

I always wondered why there was that sorta filmstrip look in the Start Screen. I always thought it was because of the whole "movie monster" thing.

[Thaddeus]

I always thought the Contra box art took some inspiration from Predator and Rambo, as well as Aliens.

I'm sure it did.  All there early big konami games had cover art made to look like popular characters from action movies.

Yep:
