E3 2012 | New Castlevania Confirmed for Nintendo 3DS on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Nintendo Power magazine have confirmed that a new Castlevania game is heading to 3DS.

The official US magazine shared details of the upcoming 3DS-exclusive entry, dubbed Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, highlighting that the title is indeed a follow-up to the Xbox 360/PS3 title Lords of Shadow, and will pave the way to a sequel - one that's rumoured to emerge on Wii U at somepoint.

The title is said to boast 2.5D visuals in a sort of isometric perspective, with Trevor Belmont taking the helm. As well as the conventional Castlevania moves, Belmont will also have electric bombs and glaives at his disposal.

More details are expected during Konami's Pre-E3 conference and during the expo itself.

Sweet, I've been thrilled with all 3 DS Castlevania games; let's hope this one lives up to those expectations set by it's predisesors.

I just hope they can make a 3D Castlevania work here...given it's history. Yes I know it's more of a 2.5 D world...but if you look at certain games that did that (cough Megaman X7/8, Megaman Mavrick Hunter X, Sonic Rivals ect.) they've felt acquard to play. I wonder if they'll keep the art style used in Order of Eccleisia, everyone really liked that style.

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

Hype! Show me you got this right Konami. My 3DS craves Castlevania.

I've read rumblings that this will jump through different time eras of Drac's castle. Characters would include Trevor and Simon Belmont along with a third, though I can't remember whom. Again, this is all rumor and I can't even recall where I saw it at.

Regardless, this is a must buy for me already. I've yet to be let down by a Castlevania game (yes, I even liked the N64 outings).

Well the 64 titles had good stories & decent voice acting besides the stiff gameplay. They were atill very memorable...esspecially creepy kid Dracula!
