seems so odd that this guy couldn't just have made it up. must be true. and it's got an explanation for what the plot device for the mirror does. i'm being a little sarcastic, but not completely.
can't say i like Alucard = Simon, but what the hell, why not in this universe? i'll get used to it. i have to wonder if Alucard becomes Simon, or if Simon becomes Alucard. Alucard becomes Simon once he learns how to use a whip? or vice versa once he becomes a vampire or dhampir? i'm very pleased to be able to switch between two characters again.
i'm all for 2.5D on the 3DS. i think there's a lot more neat things you could do to get 3D effects than if it was sprite based.
i'm liking the comparison to Adventure ReBirth. if this is a full cartridge game and not a downloadable content, an "enhanced" version of a ReBirth style game is really what i've wanted to see the most. give us the traditional Belmont gameplay, but also a little something "more", but without watering down the experience too much.
