This thread is all over the place. Iga vs. Cox, MoF speculation, Ecclesia discussion, and now console wars. I wonder what's next.

On topic. I hope there's a chance that somebody who worked on previous Castlevania games, other than Cox, will have some involvement in this.

If Castlevania is really coming to WiiU, wow. Man, I wonder what new approach they'll take with it. They have to be doing something with that screen in the middle of the controller.

If it's a port of LoS2, I imagine it'll be an alternate way to display content that's in the PS3/360 versions.

Maybe it'll be used for the 3DS connectivity stuff.

just like how we were talking about OoE's story, we're just passing time till the rumors come true, no harm in that.

the 3DS may have outsold previous Nintendo handhelds it's first year, but apparently they still think it underperformed or else they wouldn't have dropped the price so drastically & so fast. perhaps Sony should consider a similar tactic with the Vita, I dunno

I wonder if Shanoa will make a cameo in some form or another.

We can dream.  :P

Or Devil Forgemaster Issac. D:

Shanoa would be awesome.

What has me more excited is that the sequel supposedly stars Simon friggin' Belmont!

Simon, in his full CV1 regalia, hammering the crap out of ET SUNT DRACUL could possibly be too glorious to contain on a PS3/360 disk.

I'd wager it was a misunderstanding of the mobile market. Until now, they've been able to sell all of their consoles at a profit, which proved to be extremely profitable with the Wii. However, now that smartphones have such a large portion of the mobile gaming market, handhelds have to distance themselves by being higher performance (read: more expensive).

So with arguably cheaper technology available in order to get one's mobile gaming jollies off, handhelds have joined home consoles in the "lose money on hardware, earn it back on software" strategy.

Thus, with the Vita, which is already losing plenty of money with each system, a pricecut can be extremely risky, as opposed to the 3DS which was getting cut from already being profitable.

It would be awesome if they go for a look close to his CV1 design instead of the LoS prototype.

I'm starting to get in over my head now with excitement, damn.

Agreed, seeing as his LoS prototype was used for Gabriel

Everything comes full circle

Trevor is supposedly in Mirror of Fate.

I wonder if they'll make a special edition model of the 3DS for Castlevania.

OH NOES

I want Trevor in HD damnit!  :'(

Simon still rocks though

In other topics: Do you think Mercury could get more experimental with storytelling? I hope they abandon their Level/Cutscene/level/cutscene style and make it more dynamic a la Arkham games or The Witcher (Multiple playable characters from different perspectives could be neat )
