I'll be ok with Trevor being Alucard, I'll even take Alucard being Dracula's doppleganger born from the mirror.

What I can't take is Alucard being Trevor's dead body with Satan playing pilot with Trevor having no clue at all. If it does turn out to be true, then it will also mean that Alucard dies in Mirror of Fate if Zobek is correct about him returning.

*sigh* I don't know what Mercurysteam has done to Alucard but if he's just Satan wearing Trevor as a undead skin coat, im gonna riot and I know I won't be alone.

Also, im gonna laugh if it turns out Satan ends up being the TRUE final boss in Mirror of Fate after completing all the campaigns. I can totally see him popping out of Trevor's body saying "IT'S ME GABRIEL! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!"

I doubt Satan will be involved in MoF. Satan will be the big bad most likely of LoS2, since that was where the epilogue of 1 left off, with Satan's acolytes preparing for his return, and will possibly end up a 3 way battle between Dracula, the Belmonts, and Satan.

As for MoF, it will probably be just Dracula as the big bad.

Best idea ever. M. Night Shamillionaire would be proud.

Satan possessing Trevor's corpse and parading around as Alucard sounds like the absolute dumbest thing ever.

MoF has been nominated as one of the three "best portable game" of GC, along with Assassin's Creed and Little Big Planet.

Nice! If it wins, that will be how many awards so far? (Counting E3) Whether I'm a huge fan of the first LoS, I'm just happy to see a Castlevania game winning awards and being pushed in the limelight again.

As for Satan = Alucard...ugh.  I agree with Kingshango: I can take the doppleganger and Trevor being Alucard idea...but Satan? No thank you. Heck, I'll even take the whole "Trevor being brought back to life by Satan as some kinda of vengeful demon/spirit thing that goes by the name Alucard so he's not a dhampire anymore" thing--and I hate that idea--before I'll except the Satan = Trevor thing.

Are people actually taking the Satan = Trevor theory seriously? I thought it was a joke.

[CastleV]

Alucard = Trevor ? What a joke !

So Nintendo of America revealed the official holiday lineup for 2012 and amongst other games, Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate is not listed.

Did it get delayed or was it purposely left out so that Konami could announce the release date on their own terms?

I hope it's still set for 2012, i'd be a bummed out if it got delayed to next year, especially since the press release said a 2012 release date.

Maybe it doesn't have a solid date yet. I recall placeholder dates pinning it at October 23rd.

[Dremn]

Well that is very disappointing. 2013 is very likely now, what an underwhelming lineup for 3DS this holiday.

[Kingshango]

 From a Gamescom press release

Konami’s resurrection of the Castlevania series continues, as the breath-taking Castlevania: Lords of Shadows series heads to Nintendo 3DS in 2013 with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Developed by Mercury Steam and acting as a prequel to the forthcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, the Nintendo 3DS game follows Trevor and Simon Belmont as they enter the shadow-laden castle of series villain, Dracula.

Well shit.

[Foffy]

Yeah, probably 2013 for NA too then, as the PAL territories got Lords first..

[Dremn]

Well, on the bright side this will give them time to fix those framerate issues.
