Retro Remakes

I think you're getting "remakes," "sequels" and "spin-offs" confused.

Nope, IV and X68K are both considered remakes of CV1.

Only Tetris can market itself as the exact same game you already have and still sell well.

That's pretty stupid, considering 2D Castlevanias stick to the formula pretty hard (generally speaking).

Not as insufferable as Sonic fans at least, but yeah, Castlevania's continuity is all over the damn place. Especially when you start factoring in the 3D titles.

cherrypicking is fun

A "remake" doesn't always have to necessarily be a 1:1 carbon copy of the original. Take Resident Evil Remake for the Gamecube, it is 80% new according to Mikami, yet people still call that game a remake.

>autoscrolling is inherently bad

So you hate CVIII as well? The one that everyone believes to be the magnum opus of the Castlevania series?

I didn't make that pic, if I had to include a X68K level that feels out of place and nothing like the original CV1, I'd put the doll house. But I'm not wasting time doing shitty bait pics myself, I just saved that one from an old thread with australia-kun

NEITHER ARE REMAKES.

"Castlevania" has 3 sequels that take the original story and make a new game out of it. They're new games with new levels.

How about some good demakes of retro games?

>>3421881
Rockman 8 FC was tits.

IV says right in the intro it's been a century since the last time Dracula appeared right? I don't think Simon is 100+ years old. I'd use retelling over remake, but it's definitely not a sequel or anything of the like.

>100 years since Drac appeared
That's alluding to Akumajou Denetsu, which was actually a prequel to Simon's story.

It's a re-imagining of the first game, just like X68K is, but neither of them are actual remakes of the original. In fact, X68K has a swamp level that kinda looks like one of the levels from IV.
The confusion comes from the english version of IV, because in the intro says "Once again, Simon Belmont...", as if it was a new adventure for Simon, because of that, some people considered IV to be a sequel to Simon's Quest, but I think the "once again" refers to the Belmont clan. Probably in the original japanese this is clearer.
