Seriously Konami, Now’s the Perfect Time for a New Castlevania Game on Switch

With all of this Castlevania mixing it up with Smash Bros., Twinfinite thinks it’s time, time for the series to come back strong on a Nintendo console.

Konami and Castlevania need to make a full impact in the industry, I personally don't think exclusive is the way to go with Castlevania. It would do the best launching on all 4 platforms as Konami is going to have a hard time convincing everyone to buy the game to begin with given their recent history.

I think i read that the rebirth games will be coming to switch with all new HD graphics so at least some CV game is coming to switch.

So switch is not your platform of choice eh? Haha

NovusTerminus2124d ago

No it's not, it's PC, then PS4, but I will be getting one when Smash Bros comes out, and if Castlevania is exclusive, then I will play it for the Switch. But I'd rather get a nice 4k experience out of it, but I'm happy just playing a new Castlevania.

Mega Man in SSB4 didn’t prompt Capcom to suddenly make a new title in the series. They just decided to do so later on of their own volition.

Conversely Simon & Richter in SSBU isn’t going to get Konami to suddenly make a new title in the series. Let’s not forget Simon and Dracula appeared in Super Bomberman R and we didn’t see any new game in the Castlevania series later on. If a new title would come out they’ll do so when they feel like it, not because a guest appearance prompted them to.

Also Konami in general doesn’t seem to be doing a lot of their franchises justice these days so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Mega Man was announced for SSB4 in 2013. Capcom didn’t start work on Mega Man 11 until after they saw the success of the Legacy Collection. His inclusion in SSB4 is wasn’t the catalyst for Mega Man 11’s creation.

Just play the Pachinko game.

Funny, but thats all konami seems interested in. Thats where the money is at and theyd rather focus on a different kind of gamer now.

porkChop2127d ago

It could be coming. I believe Konami said they were looking to bring back other classic franchises after Super Bomberman R. I'd be up for a proper 2D Castlevania again.

FallenAngel19842127d ago

Anytime would be the perfect time for Konami to stop screwing around Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Contra, Suikoden & Castlevania.

I doubt one guest appearance is going to change how they operate as a company. Just look how they handled Metal Gear Survive, a game from one of their most beloved IPs. Super Bomberman R is the only notable recent game from them.

VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.

seanpitt231d 2h ago

I just cannot believe we haven't had a game from them this generation nearly 4 years in.. crazy!

Knightofelemia1d 7h ago

If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast1d 22h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows1d 21h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

I_am_Batman1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast1d 19h ago (Edited 1d 19h ago )

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Abear211d 20h ago

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Lightning771d 17h ago

Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.

Chocoburger1d 16h ago

Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
