Didn't Order of Ecclesia use somewhat "traditional" Castlevania levels during the first half of the game? I seem to remember reading something to that effect.

Redirect that at your friend Knuster Buster. ;)Quote:

It was really Symphony of the Night, but recently a number of people have gotten "clever" and started fingering Castlevania II.
In truth, this is decidedly NOT the case, as 2 followed more of a Zelda-like design.
Has anyone ever played Fester's Quest? :DQuote:

That being said, I have faith in Kojima Studios, for reasons previously stated.
That statement doesn't make sense. How can you say those things if you haven't even played them?Quote:

A classic style Castlevania would be nice and Iga did say something about Mega Man 9 and Wiiware. A remake of Dracula's Curse would be nice, I would prefer it have upgraded 2D graphics instead of the 3D(er 2.5D) they did for Dracula X Chronicles but I'd take anything at this point.
Hey! I was just thinking. Do you think a Castlevania side scrolling Beat-em-up would have been successful back in the day?
Kind of like X-Men, Vendetta, or TMNT but with Castlevania characters?
I think it would have rocked.
I don't know, are there that many recognizable Castlevania characters from the old games? The only one I can think of by name is Simon.
I guess it could be fun though, Konami was good at those brawlers.
Sounds good to me, That also reminds me of the OBoR engine.Quote:

This is the closest thing to an combat-action based Castlevania that looks remotely decent.
Mega props go out to Christuserloeser for being a part of the effort in that scene.
Alucard, Richter Belmont, and Simon are probably the most recognized.Quote:

I guess they could have used the characters from CV 3. The dude that walks on walls, the guy with the white cloak and magic, and a Belmont with a whip.
