New Castlevania: Second Symphony?

[Icarus Moonsight]

The article only hints at a new Castlevania game and they have the exclusive scoop on it. As far as I can see it's all up in the air still. I'll wager that IF it's on the PSP it'll be either a port of SotN (which, admittedly, don't make much sence) or part of a Castlevania classics collection ala Gradius Collection.

if they made a castlevania collection on PSP, I would buy it imediately.

I dumped my PSP---and really really hope they keep the series to 2D on the DS and 3D on consoles. I would be ecstatic if they will bring a 2D game to home consoles, but keep the PSP at bay! I don't want to buy one again, dammit!

If it is on PSP and is a comp collection of past games it'll be the first Castlevania game I won't want to buy... ever. Only way I would pick it up is if Rondo makes it in. And that happening is doubtful at best.

EDIT:
All I can say is Iga is the man! I'm buying the game cause Konami deserves the love but I'm not going after a PSP until I can get a new one for less than $100 or a used one for even less. She'll keep my Gradius Collection and Wipeout Pure warm at night until I find a PSP at my desired price.

RONDO!

If they're not going to bring the 2D games to the big screen (with new, unique titles, not Symphony of the Night ports), then what exactly is the point in only having them on the DS? The screen is tiny compared to the PSP, and because of that, you're not going to get the same gross amount of detail that's possible... which is the reason these last GBA and DS CastleVania titles haven't lived up to Symphony, something Iga is trying to do.

I mean, shit, I don't remember even touching the screen once or using the mic once when playing through Portrait of Ruin. Besides using the second screen for a map/status screen, I never used unique DS-only features once (are they even in the game? Sisters Mode, I guess...). This is the reason the 2D games should go to the PSP. It clearly has a bigger and better screen which would amount to finer, crisper detail, and I don't mind pressing Select to check the map or Start to check my items and status, that's no big deal. Isn't the storage space for data on the PSP greater than that of the DS? If so, that could take care of all the little idiocincracies that Symphony had over all of the GBA and DS CastleVanias (special moves for many different weapons and so on...)

I just don't see the reason in having the series on the DS.

Making original games exclusive to the Portables == more portables sold.

SOTN on the PSP looks so much better than the DS games because the screen is to small the PSP screen SOTN kicks ass on the PSP

[Icarus Moonsight]

Castlevania not on a Nintendo Portable? Yeah, and God of War 2 will be moved to Wii for launch. I'm not saying all Castlevanias will be on Ninty portables. That would be just assanine.

It's nearly a given that a Nintendo Portable will get a Castlevania game or more. 3 titles for the GB/C, 3 plus a double-pack and an NES port for the GBA and 2 for the DS thusfar. I'm willing to wager this "Second Symphony" whatever it may be will also be on DS. I'd honestly be suprised otherwise.

If it's a direct 2d SOTN sequel, I too would prefer this on a console or at least the PSP. Please, not on the DS. It has enough CV's already and I want some really upgraded 2D SOTN graphics the DS just can't provide. I mean I love the DS to death but lets just be honest here

I agree, Castlevania on the psp could be a beautiful thing. Look at Ultimate Ghosts n goblins. It combines the best of both worlds with rock hard gameplay, and beautiful visuals (Check out stage 2-2 for a castlevania vibe).
