Basically they leaked info about some 3DS Castlevania game and Konami asked them to take it down, so can,t post the original article obviously.

Would be nice, I love handheld Castlevanias.

the lack of responses here better be from it being an ayuyu topic, because this is SO GOOD

though not sure if it's 2D Metroidvania or not.... it better be or I'll be PISSED. Anything else and I will not buy.

A 2D Castlevania might be a system seller for me.

A 3D Castlevania would be a pass even if I had the system.

The game will be a Metroidvania, 2.5D. 3D graphics but side scrolling, so think Dracula X Chronicles on PSP. Lords of Shadow canon/art direction, the combat will be similar to LoS.

I'm out

There will be no leveling up, and the design of the game meshes stages with Metroidvania maps

**** this trash

There is no Metroid better than Castlevania 3 or Lords of Shadow, which are the best non-metroidvania Castlevanias.

Sounds like a revival of Castlevania 1-3, which had no leveling either. Do you people understand that Castlevania existed before SOTN? Come on.

"Were supposed to get a CG trailer of Dracula, and two announcements for two new games. 3DSVania which will be a prequel to LoS2 but a sequel to LoS1, and the console sequel."

Good stuff. I was expecting the LoS2 sequel this year.

Could 3DSVania then be set in what was shown during LoS' epilogue? That would be cool.

I'd rather see a new old-school Castlevania. Something that brings together the best elements of Castlevania III, Dracula X, Super Castlevania IV, and Bloodlines, and ratchets up the difficulty beyond even what the NES games were known for.

That's alright with me. I'll always love Rondo of Blood.

Leveling up was actually always a stupid mechanic in Metroidvanias anyway, it makes game balance a basically impossible task. I like finding and collecting stuff in Castlevanias, but leave leveling up out of it. Metroid doesn't have leveling up, it just has finding upgrades, and it's great.

All that said I have absolutely no idea what Lords of Shadow is so I have no idea what this is going to be like but I'm not really thrilled.

LoS was more of a level-based action game. It had platforming kinda like Uncharted and combat kinda like God of War. It was a decent game and I think unfairly maligned by those who won't accept non-Metroidvanias.

The combat had an interesting hook with the magic system. You didn't really have magic spells, you just activated either light or dark magic which enhanced your normal attacks; light magic healed you when you attacked enemies, while dark magic increased your damage. The interesting part came in because enemies only dropped the orbs that fueled your magic when you hit them with no magic activated. You could then absorb it to refill either your light magic meter or your dark magic meter (or I think you could do it half and half). So you were constantly switching between light magic, dark magic, and no magic to keep things going, and I believe you needed to try to keep your combo going and do things like parries which cause more of the magic orbs to drop.

Wouldn't mind seeing that magic system return at all.

So I read elsewhere that this is apparently a good ol' 2D Metroidvania with some gimmicky camera stuff. Can anyone confirm? Because if this is indeed a pure 2D Castlevania, it'll be a day-one import.
