Well, if Cox says it false it's probably not just the title of the game being spelled wrong. So I'd say we should not yet consider this confirmed.

Well he's not gonna say it's true since it's not supposed to be revealed yet. It might just mean that not all the info is exactly accurate, maybe it changed platforms to vita, maybe it's not trevor and it's alucard as the main chracter...etc...

Bits of info out there might be wrong.

Not at all in defense of that anonymous's rumors, but Cox isn't exactly known for telling the truth.

and again why would he say it's true? It's not supposed to be revealed yet!

[Sindra]

So, Cox is working on Lords of Shadow 2 and a handheld title? At the same time?

Christ, Konami really does think he's going to be their ace in the hole now concerning the franchise, huh?

Not at all in defense of that anonymous's rumors, but Cox isn't exactly known for telling the truth.

He believes he was telling the truth. The rest of us knew he was full of bullshit.

[Nagumo]

Eh, Cox only lied in order to make his game sound better than it really was. He has no reason to lie now. Besides, I think it would have been smarter if he would have said "no comment" or just ignored it.

Perhaps he's saying what Konami was saying: the name of the title is wrong. The rest is true, otherwise Konami would not have taken it down.

They took down Harmony of Despair leaks, if you remember.

[Nagumo]

Yeah, but I'd still say one would not use the terms "wrong end of the stick" and "misinformed" just because of a misspelling. But we'll see.

False. They don't restricts games from being 2D or 3D. There's a lot of 2D games on 3DS already, retail even.

Then you should have no problem listing them. Keep in mind 3DSware title don't count, they are under different regulations from Nintendo entirely. First party titles from Nintendo also are immune to restrictions. Please do list the remaining. There are at times very specific allowances for 'games' that don't quite qualify in the traditional sense, but perhaps make use of the current console gimmick in a way traditional games cannot or do not typically.

Sorry CastleDan, poor use of words. I think "more ideal than it really was" is better. 

[Foffy]

better than it was? It was a length adventure, it was pretty robust, had great graphics, nice voice acting, and was critically accepted compared to the other 3d castlevanias that came out.

I don't think he lied too much, I think it's just iGA fans being butthurt that we aren't getting over the top anime plots anymore lol

I'd prefer those plots over the childish plot twist the game imposes at the end of the game. That was absolutely atrocious.

I didn't see much of Super Castlevania IV in Lords of Shadow besides the whip swinging and gloomy/dreary environments. He boasted that IV was his bible for LoS's development.

Again, it gets a bad rep for silly reasons imo.. It's the first Castlevania in 3d that actually has damn good level design. No copy and paste cop outs, and it went back to the more gritty mythical beefy nature of the originals and less of the romantic pretty boy vibe of the newer ones.  IMO of course...

Foffy-Eh, it was far more interestin' than a crimson stone plotline.......imo.....

From the top of my head, I remember Crayon Shin-chan (Japan Only), Cave Story 3D(has a 2D pixel mode in, but whatever). Adventure Time 3DS will be pixel art by Wayforward too. I'm sure there's more, I can't remember everyone.
