Alpha Omega Radio: "In celebration of Japanese video game music composer Kinuyo Yamashita’s birthday, it is an honor to present to you this tribute to her music from Konami’s original Castlevania for the NES. In 1986, Yamashita composed music for Castlevania when she was only a teenager and had the challenge of working under strict hardware constraints. In addition, this also happened to be her debut work as composer on a video game. Her now iconic Castlevania compositions “Vampire killer” and “Wicked Child” would end up influencing all the later music of the series well as inspire multiple remixes over the years."
10 years gone by without a new Castlevania title. Now that Konami is considering stuff other than Pachinko, this series deserves a new game.
It’s more than about time it’s way overdue. Please make a 2D Castlevania with item/armor/weapon collectibles and transmog as this is the one series my wife will play but it has to have item collecting or she will skip it.
"What is a name? A miserable little pile of letters."
Seriously, the games in the From Software's Soulsborne series are the best 3D Castlevania games we will ever get. From Bloodborne to Elden Ring, Konami will never approach that level of quality and give Castlevania its due respect. EVER! "Enough talk, call yourself a Belmont in the Character Creator, HAVE AT YOU!" Without question.
As for a new 2D entry? I mean, sure, why not? What the hell, right? It's about damn time indeed.
During the Dead By Daylight Year 8 Anniversary event, it was revealed that a new collaboration with Castlevania is coming to the game.
Konami's highly rare Castlevania: The Arcade has finally been preserved, and everyone can soon get to play it for free.
