| Topic | Is Super Castlevania IV a remake of Castlevania 1? |
| Lopen 11/01/19 3:27:57 PM #80: | LeonhartFour posted... what other games out there would it be debatable as to whether it's actually a remake or not Probably none And I'm pretty sure the only reason the debate exists is because of people just blindly accepting word on SCIV and the timeline of Castlevania only gaining relevance well after both games were made. (yes CV3 was confirmed prequel but you still didn't have a well established reverence for timeline yet) If we wanna get technical on the canon front, I'd sooner say Castlevania and SCIV are a games that simultaneously existed in the canon at some point, then Castlevania was retroactively made non-canon by people tied to the development saying SCIV is how Castlevania really went because series story conventions are cleaner if you don't have Dracula rise so many times in the lifetime of Simon Belmont, but it's kinda pointless to make that argument anyway-- and I'm not seriously making that argument since you basically have to take statements on canon from the official sources and it would just be a technicality even if someone conceded that point (but why would they). I mostly just don't think canon is very important for determining remake status with this game to begin with, as already said. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ...
