Oh yeah. It would be perfect for some online co-op over PSN, WiiWare or Xbox Live.

I'm all for these--especially Rocket Knight--but anything printed in the rumor section of any game mag/site is instantly fed into the credulator and summarily shredded until actual proof emerges.




This is a worrisome sign. Retro Gaming is great. But this seems symptomatic of Konami's atrophying franchise library.

Metal Gear Solid is bringing back less and less returns.

Silent Hill has been a downhill trend since the second game in both sales and quality.

Castlevania has remained strong, but seems incapable of evolving into the third dimention of gaming with any real success.

With Metal Gear Solid having not even made its money back yet and the future HD Silent Hill games showing further signs of worry, they're exploration of retro gaming is most likely thier bid to keep their head above water.



If they make another Zombies Ate My Neighbors, I will cry. Please make a remake or sequel for DS.

Well if they're looking towards Capcom's business model, this is them looking into remakes for the downloadable service the three consoles offer. I know Contra sold pretty damn well over Live, as did Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 Arcade Game. This would be a good source of small continual revenue for them to bring older games onto these services. What you are speaking of are retail releases. Also why would you want Castlevania to "evolve" into the third dimension? Some things are better left in 2D forever. Look at Contra.

Konami's bread and butter remains Dance Dance Revolution in arcades and at home. As long as that game remains popular, they are fine.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

 

Sounds awesome. Hope it's true.
