I actually agree with this. Castlevania does feel like a Nintendo property more than anything else. MGS and Silent Hill definitely feels more Sony.

I gotta ask - how did Nintendo get into this? Is Nintendo supposely in a bidding war with Sony?

Konami isn't giving these to the best home. The rumor is Sony is buying them (or more likely renting them over a long time).

I mean yeah I agree. I think Castlevania I think NES absolutely.

But I'm fine with Sony getting Castlevania since as they haven't put out a game in 5+ years. If Nintendo wants to step up, cool.

I just saw a lot of comments here and other places (NintendoLife, Kotaku, etc) say things like this. I'm not sure Nintendo is involved in any acquiring licensing or IP of this series.

Essentially I agree with you whole heartedly about Sony picking it up if no one else is utilizing them in the way it should.
