Castlevania's Return To 2D On Home Consoles
Created by Ed Palumbo on 1 August 2005 @ 3:09:34 AM
Koji Igarashi has been working at Konami for over 10 years. He worked on Twin Bee and Gradius II for the PC Engine, or the TurboGrafx, as it's called in the US. But the first time he got involved with the Castlevania franchise was with Symphony of the Night. He was writing storyboards for the game, and then halfway through development he took over direction for the game as well.
In a recent article Igarashi said that he doesn't want to "put out the light" on a 2D Castlevania for home consoles. We are all very excited about the new 2D Nintendo DS version shown at E3 this year and the [2D] GBA versions have been simply incredible.
In a previous interview Igarashi said "I think the GBA hardware doesn't present a problem, but the limitation comes with the visual presentation. If you want to do something really great, then you'll have to choose a different piece of hardware." What better piece of hardware than a home console?
He has also stated "..with the GBA, you can focus on just the game instead of the technology.." which provides insight as to how the 2D formulas play so well while the 3D seem to have been missing something.
He has stated that there are a lot of financial considerations when making a 2D game, taking into account the fact that 2D games are generally not as successful these days.
He states Eurpoe does not like 2D gaming.
And finally, the main reason this petition exists: If Igarashi were to ever make another 2D Castlevania for home consoles, the fans' voices would need to be strongly heard.
Koji Igarashi, please hear your fans.

| 2720 | Josh Justice | I will buy any 2D Castlevania for a system I own, and 2D Castlevania games are one of the main reasons I buy new systems (GBA, PSP). I hope lots of others feel the same way! |
| 2719 | PB Haines | |
| 2718 | Keith Harrelson | Give us what we want please. Look at what next-gen is doing with Bionic Commando Rearmed and that is just a remake. We want a next-gen Castlevania that isn't 3-D. The 3-D games are horrible. I would love to set down and spend 30 hours on a 2-D next gen SOTN sequel. WE WANT IT>>>GIVE IT TOO US....PLEASE!!!!!!! |

| 2714 | Marko | I am from Europe and I love 2D games. The new Castlevania game could be 3D, but with 2D gameplay like Dracula X Chronicles. I think IGA should just make more games for the PSP! |

| 2708 | Martin | Stop being scared of the result ....a 2D Castlevania with the new console could probably being one of the best decision you could take.Returning Castlevania where it TRULY belong with the most astounding graphics ever made for a 2D game,this will be a game worth remembering and who know maybe you could bring back the interest for that genre.Think of yourself as an ambasador with an important mission lol :p But seriously i beileve in such a project and i think MANY of us will support you ;) Still praying...... |
| 2707 | Anthany | another 2D castlevania for a home system will be amazing. Listen to all the fans of Symphony of the Night! By far one of the GREATEST games in video game history. If created, you would go down in video game history as being the Mosiah of the 2D world. |

| 2700 | cdry3947ikdhu | |
| 2699 | Three-P | The 3-D versions aren't bad, but Castlevania was born a 2-D, and plays better in 2-D. Also, I'd like to see a few PSP Castlevanias. |

| 2696 | Beatpeitsi | I read Sony wants to have 3D games on PS2, but there's always the Capcom approach: they made Megaman X8 using a 3D rendering engine, but the game itself plays 2D. I would settle for that, if using 3D is a must |
| 2695 | cherie baker | the sole reason why my major is game art & design; i graduate this year and if this petition does not persuade Iga, i leave for japan in november of 2007. to personally seek him out. he can't crush this girl's dream. |
| 2694 | Mario | Make SOTN and Rondo X both for the Nintendo DS. That way I can have fun playing these games while I am traveling. |
| 2693 | Betto | Make Castlevania Symphony of the Night (sega saturn version) and Rondo of Blood X (japanese version never released to the U.S.) available for the Nintendo DS. The Nintendo DS can support it. |
