    Yeah, there’s obviously a market for it, but a good mainline 2D title hasn’t been released in a quarter of a century. Sad.

      The “Metroid” part of the metroidvania genre got two new releases recently, I have hope that the “vania” part will too. -huffs copium-

        It was nice to see the “Dominus Collection” get released on PC at least, but I’m not sure Konami is capable of making a new and actually good -vania game without Iga.

          Konami needs to get the Dead Cells team (Evil Empire, not Motion Twin) to do a Castlevania game, that DLC (especially the remixed music) was so gas

          I’m also sick of Konami just porting the games over and over again. I love Castlevania, but I have bought the games so many times in so many different collections that it feels like it’s own pachinko hell. And we all know how Konami feels about pachinko.

            If re-releases count, they’re in luck. Feels like you can sneeze and find a new Castlevania re-release, the last one being the Dominus Collection
