Could Rockman 9 start a 'retro revolution?' The return to the more simplistic style of games? Creator of the Castlevania series, Koji Igarashi believes so.
Igarashi is watching the success of Rockman 9 closely to determin if the next iteration in the Castlevania series would return to its 2D roots.
"I’m watching that very closely to see how it does. Myself, I’m a big retro gaming fan, so if it is successful that definitely opens up doors for what I can do."
Like the Rockman series, releasing a new 2D Castlevania title is risky, financially. If a new 2D Castlvania were to be made, it would follow the path of RM9, a downloadable title possibly in 8- bit.

What would be crazy is to see an 8-bit castlevania in the more recent metroidvania style of gameplay. I classic castlevania game would be welcome as well though!
ReplyDeleteI think it just might happen. All back to retro would be nice. :D
ReplyDeleteWe have games like Halo for flashy and great graphics.
whoopdedoo. :P
ReplyDeleteUm, I thought all the DS CastleVania's are 2d and they are selling more then most series out there.
ReplyDeleteI don't see where another would make less money. However I would love to see more SoTN style infull 2d instead of the 8bit/16bit roots.
I think they're talking more like NES style, at least that's what I gathered.
ReplyDeleteIGA is so cool
