Actually, Castlevania is as good as dead as a franchise because of the publisher's stupid decision, "no market for the 2D one anymore" (which this Kickstarter proves is wrong).

As for Mighty No. 9... fixed your post for you ;)

You're saying the great Iga can't make great 3D Metroidvania games? Nintendo can. ;)

Looking at the sales of Castlevania games I can't blame the publisher for canning the franchise.

But yeah, Mighty no. 9 is the reason why I'm so sceptical. And no, I don't think it looks good.

Lords of Shadow was the most successful game in the franchise to date (which would say Metroidvania is dead and Metroid should also become a God of War clone right?). Lords of Shadow 2 was an error of judgement in the platforms they opted for. The 3DS spinoff was just a mistake full stop. However, prior to that, many the "IGAvania" games have been pure gold, in fact there wasn't a single bad 2D one! (These are Symphony of the Night, the GBA, DS ones) That is why so many people are excited for more.

The 2D ones are a different beast to the 3D games. Though what "Metroidvania" have Nintendo made? Retro are the only developer to pull that one off. Maybe that's why Nintendo relegated them to 2D games afterwards? :P
