Yeah and this is a sidescroller...it's not exactly the most hardcore hardware pushing type of gameplay style...lol
It is? I'm not assuming nothing yet, I'm just hoping it is.

If it is, It depends of what they want to achieve and how well their framework will be on the hardware.

Wow.  We're an excitable bunch! lol  :-D
Took me forever just to get caught up on all of this talk...

I remember when the "Complete Chronicles" was rumored last fall, and everyone was getting ahead of themselves like this.  But this time, there is some dubious evidence to support the rumor --the most important of which being Konami's quick response and the timing of the "leak".

If any of these rumors about the alleged game are even half true, there may be some cause for all of us to celebrate.
Here's my personal opinion on some of what's been said here.

VERY good news...
-- 2.5-D Castlevania
-- Dracula's Curse storyline.

Caution...
-- David Cox is involved --a man of his position should never mislead or condescend to the fans.  Maybe it was all a misunderstanding.  Maybe it wasn't his fault.  Maybe he just needs a little PR coaching.  Either way, the man should apologize and start building some bridges.

Not so good...
-- Continuation of the LoS mythos, instead of rebooting Akumajo Dracula.
-- 2-D Castlevania still condemned to technically inferior portable machines.

There's really not much more to say until there's some hard news on this matter...

well the rumors before this reveal were that a 3ds sidescrolling castlevania by mercurysteam was being made...then bam we get this info. So I'd say it's a safe bet.

If they find a way to put QTEs and wall shimmying in a 2D format game... I will be very disappointed.

He left it in pieces in the realm where the Forgotten One was. Maybe we'll go back there as Alucard to retrieve it or something.

Theorizing is fun.
I'd prefer the Combat Cross to be left where it was. Rinaldo could always create a new, more powerful whip, which could be this new canon's version of the Vampire Killer(kinda another nod to LoI where Rinaldo was vital to the creation of the VK).

You and me both.

That would be such a kick in the ballz.

If Rinaldo does show up and does make a new whip, will it be Gabriel's bane or a whip that's not exclusive to Belmonts? There's just so much to ponder going by the old canon and what ideas they're going to rework in this new canon.

Rinoldo could have made one last weapon before he died, the greatest weapon he had ever made that trumps even the combat cross but died before giving it a offical name. The protagonis(well call him Trevor for now) finds the weapon and remember's the day where he was told that the savior Gabriel wielded a whip the people once called "Vampire Killer" and calls the new whip the Vampire killer.

This is like one of those NeoGAF threads during the E3 live feeds, you just never catch up to the last page . . . *gasps* I'VE MADE IT.  I HAVE CRAWLED UP OVER DEBORAH CLIFF.

I did not think for a second that Mercurysteam would be given two games to manage and/or develop, even despite the murmurings and, was it a hint by Cox?  I did think Konami were holding off handheld development due to the rise in popularity of phone and tablet devices (and uncertainty with 3DS/Vita), to watch the waters as it were.  But they don't want to be left behind, and Castlevania has I think increased in popularity since the release of Lords of Shadow.  Best to capitalise on the success of the game; why not release two unto the unsuspecting world?

I think with it possibly being Cox and Mercurysteam, I kind of believe/hope it's a grim offering as far distanced from the likes of Portrait of Ruin as possible, with decrepit landscapes, rolling fogs, full moons, rain effects, coupled with whip-swinging and savage monsters.  Traps for the player.  I'll even concede a new musical score.  This really could scratch an itch for a decent atmospheric side-scolling 2D romp.

Phew, nostalgia . . .

How many people here are going to buy a 3DS now?

Thankfully I already have one (been playing Chrono Trigger).. and what about The Adventure for the e-shop lol
I don't have many 3DS games. Barely a handful.

If this game actually turns out good than I will highly consider buying one.

I am already eager to play KH3D and Resident Evil revelations on the 3DS and if this game is something actually worth while than it will be the final push I need to get one.
