Factor 5 almost worked on a Super Castlevania IV port for the Genesis

Coming from a Nintendo Life interview with Factor 5's co-founder Julian Eggebrecht...

We did recreate one of the SNES Castlevania 4 levels, or at least part of one, that used Mode 7 in one part. I vaguely remember it might have been the huge swinging chandelier bit. They were quite impressed but Konami Osaka at the time decided to get into Genesis game creation in a bigger way and pulled all Genesis work internal.

Super Castlevania IV is no-doubt one of the shining gems of the Super Nintendo library. That title almost jumping ship to the Genesis at some point blows my mind! It simply wasn't meant to be, I guess. That's okay, we still have awesome musicians out there who show us what the game could have sounded like on Genesis!
