New 3DS Castlevania on the Way. Possible Lords of Shadow Spinoff?
By Jeffrey Matulef
Konami has revealed a new Castelvania game in the functions, according to Dutch web site, N1ntendo (translated by NeoGAF user Sadist). The upcoming Castlevania: Mirror of Faith will be a 3DS exclusive, set to be shown at this year’s E3 in two weeks.
The only detail given is that Castlevania: Lords of Shadow producer, David Cox, and director/writer Enric Alvarez are working on Mirror of Faith, suggesting this may be a sequel or spinoff of that game. Since Lords of Shadow ended with a peculiar cliffhanger, the presence of an additional title in the reboot’s canon bodes nicely for an upcoming console sequel.
I hope that the 3DS game is nevertheless 2D, though. I loved Lords of Shadow, but most 3D handheld games feel like watered down console ports, specially with the 3DS’s lack of a built in second analogue stick. Meanwhile, the 2D Castlevanias have flourished brilliantly on handhelds, and with the most recent entry in the transportable line getting 2008′s Order of Ecclesia we’re extended overdue for a new one particular.

Back at E3 2011, Nintendo created an announcment that made a great quantity of Nintendo fans pleased: The oft-overlooked Luigi’s Mansion would be obtaining a 3-dimensional sequel on Nintendo’s latest handheld! Even though the original didn’t precisely set the globe alight, it was a solid addition to the GameCube’s launch line up and gained a strong fan following.
Even though Luigi’s Mansion two will absolutely be happening, some confusion has popped up today with regards to what platform, or platforms, the game will be launching on popular web site Play.com have the game listed for the Wii U with no other data. Naturally this is no confirmation, but so a lot of games have been leaked thanks to retail listings that to blindly ignore the listing would be merely foolish.
So what could this mean? There are 3 possibilities: The game has been moved to the Wii U, the game will be releasing on both Nintendo consoles, or completely absolutely nothing.
