Unless it turned out like Curse of Darkness. Curse of Darkness was pretty cool.

no, it would have sucked..

If Resurrection saw a release, it would have been only the second 3D 'vania romp after 64/Legacy. Not a very good precursor to be modeled after. Screenshots suggested that the setting was mainly inside the castle itself, but other than that, it looked stupidly similar to Legacy.

Please, don't get me wrong - I enjoyed CV64 for what it was.. You just have to go into this game with two things in mind:
1) - That Castlevania is meant to flourish in a confined, 2D environment with different paths, rather than in an open world where, ironically, the only choice of where to go is "in the direction of the castle." (Or once within said castle - "UP!")
2) KCEK did the best they could given the technology and resources at the time. Most N64/PS1 era games do NOT stand the test of time well, (FFVII - though a classic RPG - looks like poop, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time just got a makeover so Nintendo could bring it kicking and screaming back from the dead into today's modern 3D-crazy mix.) At the time of CV64's release, Tomb Raider was big, and Ocarina and it's Z-Targeting system were months away. That's right - Castlevania 64 made use of the same targeting system before Zelda did, but terrible controls, lackluster story, and a total disregard for catchy music (or any, for that matter) is all that most gamers from that era remember today.

However, Castlevania 64 will always have one thing that Zelda, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Mario will NEVER have: Skeletons on motorcycles...

agh, good call! This was going to be brilliant. Colorized versions of all five GB carts. HOW is it possible that Capcom couldn't locate source codes, though???
