Originally, Mirror of Fate was for Wii U! See above link.

Anyway, I'm intrigued. Not confident, but intrigued. I think Mirror of Fate tickles my curiosity more than LoS 2 right now (though, that's mostly because of how LoS 1 turned out). More generally speaking to what was posted on this site's front page, I think the rumored graphical camera style, more Kirby 64 and Klonoa than Dracula X Chronicles is a very good idea that I have been interested to see in a Castlevania game.

The same questions remain as always, though: the quality of the game structure and the art direction.

They do. Have you actually played LoS?

Yes?

All i se is this:Mirror of Fate is confirmed as a 2D Castlevania adventure starring two different characters ala Portrait of Ruin, with options for co-op play.

This doesn't mean that the game is a CO-OP. Let's just all stay calm and cool, till an official statement comes out.

What the heck is up with Johnathan's hair on that cover?

"a Nintendo DS masterpiece in the making!"

Back then everyone, like now, was super-duper excited for it to come out with all the rumors & leaks.


deja-vu perhaps?

The same goes for OoE.

Did you noticed I never said the castle was the problem? Also, destrutible objects are really different from the what candles did in CV. ALL of them needed to drop something (hearts or not), that way they would be part of the design. Outside the castle, they could use rock piles, impaled bodies or even rustic candles hanging in trees (of course, if the game had darker places outside the castle, like more darker forests).

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

That would be quite awful. Right now MoF sounds 100x more interesting than all of the DS Castlevanias combined.

[CastleDan]

The difference being is now they probably have a decent budget and a competent/hardworking team leading this project.

Well said my friend. For now, we only have rumors. Let's hope that this friday we might be lucky and learn something official.

Portrait of Ruin was maybe the worst let-down of the DS era. I thought IGA was seriously making a globe-trotting follow-up to Bloodlines in a style close to Bloodlines via the portraits. Instead, it was mini-castleroids inside a larger castleroid shell. There was no Bloodlines classicvania with death pits, etc to be found. 

I posted the MTV article earlier. Wasn't that confirmed info?
