I'm fine with Castlevania moving away from Metroidvania -- this just doesn't look that good, at least from the super limited information we have. I don't get why you would do this when LOS2 is going to exist on console. we'll check back on Thursday and see if this looks good, but it seems like it'd be just a shrunken down version of LOS/LOS2. just make that game on console and leave the handheld games to be their own thing.
