Title (the site's in french but it's the only one to show both the trailer, which is in german, and some screens) I'm not kidding it looks like OoE to me!!!

http://www.gamekyo.com/videofr17046_soul-of-darkness-le-castlevania-like-par-gameloft.html

Due for release...tommorow(!?!) in america, tell me what you think and if I can find any other websites on the game. This game is developed by gameloft.  ;D ;D ;D

Hey that looks pretty good!
I hope the framerate is better than what was shown in the video.  The hero looks pretty badass and yes, it's pretty Castlevania-like! :o

Ha!  The name of the character seems to be "Kale".
Now our own resident Kale has to play this game (if possible). :P

Oh, so they ported that mobile game to the DS? I'm actually kinda interested in playing it now. I mean, now it'll have decent controls.

This was a mobile game, to be fair this is the first I've heard of it! :P

The music in the trailer is from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.  Looks so CV-ish, it can only be described as a ripoff...or heavily heavily inspired.

holy shit...... damn it... to play or not to play...

On the one hand, I don't have a DSi...... wait if it's playable on DS, I'm playing. If so this doesn't count as a negative.

On the other, It's Kale! >.>

Then on the two hand, it had QTE.

Then on Goro's last hand... its a 2d QTE....

Finally... it's so Castlevania like and awesome... that I don't think I can not not play it.

I knew that game looked familier too. I think some on this forum started a topic on it just before it hit the mobile market.

It's sad that this looks more interesting than IGA's recent games.

But I dont have a DSi to play it though. :(
