I'm confused about all these conferences. Didn't Nintendo already had one just now?

Also, I wonder if Simon's age is a reference to his character bio from New International Track and Field. He was the same age in that game.

Being a Belmont's wife is the worst job you could get in Transylvania

Well, they're having a Nintendo Direct just for the 3DS tomorrow 6PT, 8CT (my time) and they said that they'd dedicate an hour to just the 3DS games. So I'm sure Mirror of Fate will be shown there. Also, for those that watch Gamespot, it's one of the games that will be part of the game show: it's the fourth game on the list, after Skylanders Giants.

Hopefully, they'll put the trailer (with more gameplay) on the 3DS so we can see the game in action with 3D.

So, two more Belmonts confirmed?

So, two more Belmonts confirmed?

That's what is sounds like, but they've been super wishy washy about this whole "four character" thing.

Better be longer than Nintendo Power's "20 hours" if that's the case.

Although I'm not very proud of LoS's Titans, you must admit that this can be truly badass translated to 2d platforming.

Now that I think about four Belmonts is a bit too much, and with this I say that perhaps the other Belmonts may or may not use a whip if that Alucard thing is true is it possible that one may use a spear. I am all for Belmonts and whips, but four? How will each one play different from one another? Will Trevor be lightning fast while Simon slow but strong, and the others in the middle.

The other Belmonts could be either be Christopher, Juste, or Richter. Maybe even Julius, if the game ends at the present day.

If he's in it, I hope they keep Julius faithful to his AoS design. That was by far Kojima's best Belmont design.

It may go in a good direction seeing how they said

"Use your secondary weapons and magical abilities to take down these awesome foes"
and not
"Use your wall-shimmying and combat cross stake to take down these awesome foes"

[Kingshango]

So, two more Belmonts confirmed?

Richter and Julius or bust.
