    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.

          I counted the announcement for Prime 4 slated for release next year as part of “recently”. I haven’t eaten this good as a Metroid fan in years, let me live 😭

            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
