A few days old, but this was largely overlooked around here.

On Friday, 1UP's Matt Leone posted this on his Twitter feed:

There's speculation from certain fansites that this might be Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth. On the other hand, Parish referred in a related blog post to seeing two unannounced titles last week; in the comments section, Konami's Tomm Hulett seemingly confirms that they're both Konami titles.

So, is this Castlevania, the rumored Sparkster revival, or something else entirely? I wonder.

Would be nice to see Sparkster again, but ONLY if his new game is done right.

Castlevania is still around, it never really died off thanks to the handheld versions. So for a "revival" it'd have to be something we haven't seen in a long time, in any form. Or it'll be a disappointment.

AXELAY

I need a good rail shooter

Gunloc · (10-05-2009, 01:53 AM)

Almost certainly Castlevania ReBirth. Though some Suikoden news would be amazing.

Jonnyram · (10-05-2009, 01:54 AM)

New Parodius please!

Zoc · (10-05-2009, 01:54 AM)

What are Konami's retro properties? The only ones I really know are Castlevania and Metal Gear.

Lost Fragment · (10-05-2009, 01:54 AM)

Lethal Enforcers Wii.

Mega Man 10 doesn't really mean that much now that they've already made Mega Man 9.

If there's any truth to it, I hope Konami knows what they're doing in their choice of developer - Climax's only 2D action games to date have been licensed GBA shovelware titles.

And ZAMN is LucasArts' IP - Konami only published it.

Sparkster's been popping up a little bit lately - Track and Field and the iPhone Racing game. It's nice to see that they remember the game, and I'd love to see it again.

I'm more of a fan of Sparkster on Genesis though, rather than RKA and Sparkster SNES, so I'm in the minority of a minority :lol

Drkirby · (10-05-2009, 02:06 AM)

Metal Gear Rearmed?

keyrat · (10-05-2009, 02:07 AM)

Track and Field yes!

Rush'n Attack.

that is all.

DIrtyWeasel · (10-05-2009, 02:17 AM)

Is there any chance that Zone of the Enders is considered to be retro?

Catalix · (10-05-2009, 02:18 AM)

Pleeease be Sparkster. He deserves a revival.

Besides, quality mascot platformers are a dying breed. All we have these days is Mario. Maybe R&C.

Holy shit, Sparkster is such a lovely IP, I couldn't stand seeing it screwed. And yeah Climax...they are one step near failure, nothing against them, but it should be done by Konami in-house team

Barakov · (10-05-2009, 02:22 AM)

Castlevania 5. BELIEVE.

And after Silten Hill : Shattered Memories, I'm especting more awesome retro revivals from Capcom.

WARP10CK · (10-05-2009, 02:33 AM)

Hmm I am hoping for a Snatcher revival but for some reason cool stuff like that does not happen in the gaming world anymore allthough a few exceptions like Mega Man 9 and... and ... well Mega Man 9.

Blu_LED · 02:41 AM

MG and MG2 remakes for PSN or PSP
Snatcher and Poilcenauts remakes for PSN or PSP

Anything else is unacceptable.
