Castlevania goes down in history (for me) as the greatest series ever................ Everyone has been a hit (minus the N64 attempt), and I don't believe anyother series has constantly brought out a hit after hit (except for Metal Gear, another one from Konami).

It is past due for Konami to bring out a true 2D Castlevania for the 360 or PS3. The handheld ones are all great, but its time to see a HD home system version.................Konami is currently working on another 3D version. I'm not a fan of their 3D games, and this one won't be a bid deal for me either unless it plays like Ninja Gaiden in 3D.

With Capcom bringing out a 3D w/ 2D gameplay in Street Fighter 4, Konami may try something along the same lines.

BTW, if you have a PSP get the Dracula X Chronicles...............It's freak'in awesome, and Konami has stated if it sells well on the PSP they would do another one for it.

it was considered the best and most critical acclaimed of the series, before it started becoming 3D.

Its strange that Konami hasn't released a new 2D Castlevania after SotN on the PS1 & Saturn (on a home system that is)................

Castlevania SotN is included in the Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP.................3 Castlevania's for one price.
