I wanna but my two sense in and say Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is the best, I still play it over and over to date.  Alucard is one sick vampire slayer and I think they should make another Castlevania where he's the star and bring back Trevor Belmont to play along side.  I just don't understand why they don't make more 2D Castlevanias, I think they're better.  Guess I'm just old school.Squall303

Symphony of the Night is the best Castlevania game in mybook and opinion, and I could play that game over and over again because it's such an awesome game with the immense stroy and all that! They should at least try and make 1 final 2D Castlevania game for the consoles, but I strongly doubt that's going to happen anytime soon.

What's the difference anyway? You're gonna still go dungeon crawling in a big, old, scary castle. The time period may change, but Castlevania is how it always was. Septagon7

Aria/Dawn of sorrow is close enough to the present to be considered a current time castlevania in my books.propyro

All of the past and current Castlevania games have taken place in the dark ages, during mideval times, like the case was with many Castlevania games of the past, and Aria and Dawn of Sorrow took place during the not so distant future!! So, I was wondering what everyone would think if Konami was to actually make a Castlevania game that took place in the present.

What would you're thoughts and opinions if this was actually going to be possible. Also, who would you like to be in the story, which weapons would be used, what enemies would you like to have in the game, etc.

I've just been owned ... i thought you were going to say something about that old (and bad) novel that was written about some kid that got sucked into the castlevania 2 game ...propyro

You people and your remakes, my god!

If everybody thought like that we would never have had a new game... ever! Whenever the technology either moves forward or developers get a better grasp of it, they can improve on what was done in the past. My question is, whats the points? The whole reason we can move forward is because we're not holding onto the past. If we get strapped down to remakes, we might aswell remake every good game there ever was. Is it worth it. You cannot relive an experience, you can experience a new one just as good. People dont seem to understand this.

Get over the remakes, it wont be like playing the game again, all stary eyed and in a dream. It will be waiting with unrealistic expectation looking at everything they changed very critically as it touches on your own personal memories of a game you may have loved.

One of the good things about the Castlevania series are none other than the boss battles!! Some of them were, and still are easy for some of of the fans, and harder than hell for the rest of the fans of the series. So, I'm wondering which boss battles are the hardest??

I would have to say that the boss battle with the Forgotten One in Lament of Innocence was the hardest boss battle for me, because of the falling maggots that kept falling and jumping around, and the 3rd and final stage where you had to steer clear of the Forgotten One's fire attack that he uses on you after he inhales and brings the rocks down to try and crush you!!

Plus, the final battle between Christopher Belmont and Dracula in Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge was prettty hard and difficult for me as well, because of the orbs that he magically sent out to attack you, and the fact that he kept teleporting from one part of the battleground to the next.
