Willing to bet this is related to castlevania.

And I hope to god they aren't making a wii game along with OoE.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but swinging the wiimote like a whip would be the lamest mechanic ever.

They could make a standard CV without involving a useless gameplay mechanic, y'know. Even if they did add motion-sensitive controls, it'll probably be very limited and unnecessary (like how they tried the "use character A to help character B proceed" aspect in PoR).

it may be lame, but you know you'd want to do it

True.  And if IGA keeps to his word (LMFAO) he said after DoS he didn't want to do a game with gimmick like controls.

As for the picture, it might have something to do with Castlevania, since we know for certain that at least the 1999 did have something to do with a moon. It's red, which with a game like Castlevania wouldn't surprise me at all.

As for the images, I have no clue what's on the left, but the right looks like a human. Or something. XD

No it wasn't.  It was SEALED in a SOLAR eclipse.

When I take a step back, squint my eyes, the whole red portion of the moon kinda looks like a helmed figure, like Samus or something. Other than that, including the little man who seems to be holding something long, I could possibly see him standing on a cliff, overlooking a crude-looking castle, though I think this is more of my imagination at play.

Whilst this discussion is interesting and all, solar eclipses happen only during a new moon, and lunar eclipses happen only during full moons. That might come as a surprise but think about it, consider the following setups:




These drawings (not to scale of any kind) show the setups for a new, crescent and full moon. It also shows the cone of shadow from both Earth (blue) and Moon (gray). An eclipse happens when the cone of shadow from either body reaches the other body. They are not as frequent because of alignment problems and sometimes because the cone of shadow is not long enough (we call this an annular eclipse). Equating this moon to 1999's solar eclipse is astronomically incorrect.

Now that I am talking about the moon, one thing that bugs me about Castlevania is the inconsistency with the lunar phases. In SoTN for example, Orlox quarters shows a full moon, so does the Tower of Fog, however the castle keep shows a crescent moon.

I'm still kinda of curious about the moon though, and its meaning. So far, I've put the picture in front of a mirror
ran scans thru it and got nothing out of it. Good imagination, Dark Nemesis.
