Zvinoshamisa, saka, kuti yakanakisa Castlevania ndiyo ine handina kumbove paNintendo console. Symphony yeHusiku inowanzoonekwa seyakanyanya kurongeka munhevedzano - zvirokwazvo ndiyo yandinoda pachangu - uye yakaratidza kutanga kweiyo yambotaurwa 'Metroidvania' sub-series. Mutengesi akasimba muJapan neNorth America (yakanyungudika zvinoshamisa munharaunda yangu yeUK nokuda kwechimwe chikonzero), Symphony of the Night yakateverwa nemhete yekuedza kwepakati pekuyananisa Castlevania nenyika ye3D zviratidzo; iyo miviri N64 mitambo - Castlevania uye Nhaka yeRima - zvaingove zvakanaka, nepo PlayStation 2 mazita Kuchema Kusina Mhosva uye Kutuka kwerima zvainakidza uye zvisina kunaka zvakaenzana. Yakawira kune GBA uye DS trilogies kuti zvinhu zvirambe zvichienderera mberi - kunyangwe, nemaakaundi ese, aya mazita akaona. kudzikisira kudzoka yeKonami maererano nekurumbidzwa uye mari, ndosaka mubatanidzwa wayo neSpanish studio MercurySteam (iyo timu imwechete yakagadzira Metroid: Samus Anodzoka uye Metroid Kutya naNintendo) yaive yakakosha. Kunyangwe Hideo Kojima akabatanidzwa - chiratidzo chechokwadi chekuti Konami aitsvaga kuendesa Castlevania kune inotevera nhanho.
Kune vamwe - pachangu ndakasanganisirwa, kusvika padanho - vasina zvachose yakasununguka neMercurySteam's Ishe wemumvuri mazita, asi yekutanga - yakabudiswa muna 2010 ye PS3 uye Xbox 360 - yakanga iri pfuti muruoko rweCastlevania, ichiwana ongororo yakanaka uye kutengesa briskly zvakakwana kukurudzira Konami kuti greenlight sequels maviri; Mirror of Fate ye3DS uye 2014's Lords of Shadow 2. Yekutanga inguva yakanaka yekuedza kuroora Lords of Shadow rebooted universe ne 'Metroidvania' nzira, nepo yekupedzisira ichionekwa sechinhu chinoodza mwoyo. Kubuda kwe Koji 'IGA' Igarashi mugore rekubudiswa kwemutambo 'akauraya' mucherechedzo weCastlevania mumaziso evateveri vakawanda; Igarashi nemukurumbira akaenderera mberi nekugadzira Neropa: Ritual of Night, mutsivi wezvemweya kune zvinyorwa zveCastlevania's Metroidvania iyo pachayo yabuda.
