Topic: RUMOR: Castlevania 3DS made by MERCURYSTEAM

Hey guys how's your weekend? haha ok then, the news...

According to internal sources, the recent lords of Shadow will get DLC (presumably following the ending). Also the rumor of the sequel spread by Oscar Araujo gets louder yet. But that's not all, a 3DS version of CV is to be expected

If it was told by "internal sources" of MercurySteam, do you think we'll see Gabriel's next adventure in 3D!! (also ditching the hopes of an IGAvania)

No thanks. A classicvania done by IGA with artwork done by Kojima & music by Yamane would be excellent, though.

EDIT: I would also settle for MASAKI (OoE's artist), and just about any composer that isn't Araujo.

It's a rumor, but it'd be pretty nice.
3DS seems to be powerful enough to have some rather nice visuals.  But please, I hope Araujo starts pumping out some classic tunes.

Where does it say Mercury Steam is going to make this rumored 3DS game? You misread it.

this^^^
MS has had its shot on the next gen consoles so i think Konami should let IGA do what he does best and make a 2.D gameplay castlevania for 3ds.

I don't like 3D action gaming on handhelds. It doesn't work for me. I want my handheld Castlevanias to be sidescrollers. I doubt Mercurysteam is making a sidescroller for 3DS though

Internal sources where? In Konami or in Mercury Steam? Could be IGA or MS.... I guess we'll have to wait and see.....if the rumor is true, that is.

YES! I'd be all over that!

I wouldn't mind seeing Sotaro Tojima having another go at Castlevania music. Even though many of the tracks in Circle of the Moon were taken from other games, there's no denying that the original tracks - "Fate to Despair" (Chapel Tower) and "Awakening" (Catacombs) were bloody excellent! I desperately want more Castlevania music from him.

EDIT: Oh, and PROOF OF BLOOD! Best final boss battle music evah!

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon - Proof of Blood

I'm only ok with this as long as Iga is still making a game.

I want IGA, Ayami Kojima and Michiru Yamane to work on the next 3DS game. And make it with 2D gameplay with 3D elements.

[Heuss]

Yes, the new Castlevania 3DS by MercurySteam

Ptto:

Bye, Bye IGA 

[thernz]

I want Hideki Kamiya to work on the next 3DS game.

[DragonSlayr81]

Yeah, it doesn't say the 3DS CV will be made by MS, but just that there's a rumor that there will be a 3DS CV title. The MS bit seems to be tied to Araujo commenting on the DLC to LoS(and how it follows up the events of the first game like a sequel).

IGA and Kojima might be on board, but Yamane has long since quit game music.

It would be amazing if they hired another famous Japanese composer, like Hitoshi Sakimoto.

And honestly, from MercurySteam I'd just prefer another 360 game, rather than what would almost definitely be a smaller, less impressive version of the same thing on a 3DS.

Also agree with Thernz. Hideki Kamiya just needs to work on every game ever.

Yamane did quit Konami, but I remember her saying she would compose for another CV game if she was asked to. I think it is great when she collaborates with someone else, so there is not so much pressure on one composer to do many songs in a short period of time. Then they can make a better soundtrack.
