I am hijacking a friends 3ds for a stroll in this castle...
MOST DEF!!!

Calling this a classic castlevania game is a hell of an assumption to make based on some screenshots. More than likely it'll be a sidescrolling Lords of Shadow and no one will be happy.

Hope this comes out good, though I'm still not sure about this new direction. Order of Ecclesia and Dawn of Sorrow were pretty good.

I want a new 2D Metroid so bad, I really hope one hits the 3DS.

Nitex

Yeah this looks more like a level select Castlevania than a giant Metroid type map one. I really just want a Metroid Other M type game on 3ds, minus the Team Ninja.

Art direction looks great to bad the game doesn't give off that feeling.

KeithTheGeek

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that this isn't a Metroidvania.

MaddogExplosive

Like what Keith said, everybody including the developer has said this game will not be a Metroidvania. So, uh, Brett's gonna be pretty disappointed.

MegaSeveN

From what I understood, it's basically going to be a lot like Lords of Shadow, but with a bit more emphasis on exploration. I don't think there will be much stuff to find outside the requisite upgrades similar to LoS though, so it'd be a stretch to call this a true Metroidvania.

It's more of a side-scrolling action platformer with some Metroidvania elements thrown in.

I'll get it, and I think I'll like it overall... but man do I hate that they've abandoned the old lore and gameplay.

Brett Zeidler

NOOOOOOOOOOO my world has been shattered by everyone telling me it's not gonna be what I thought it was. :(

Ulicies

That header is fucking awesome.

Also, a new 3DS 2D Metroid needs to happen. <<<Ironic notion, 2D on a 3D console. See wut I did ther? K.

THEvalrog

the gameplay looks like shit, nothing compared to SOTN :(

AlucardsQuest

... Despite producer David Cox's repeatedly saying that this was not a Metroidvania title. How many times does this have to be hammered into people's skulls?

ismegamanthere

No more fucking Metroidvania's. Jesus Christ, gamers for the most part are such stale individuals. Give me Metroidvania, give me old school Final Fantastic, blah blah blah. Just shut up already and accept the fact that not EVERY game company in this industry wants to do the same shit over and over again.

George Booth

Why does it seem like the 3DS has no AA?

Smo5000

I'll still get it, looks like a decent 3DS game.

I like the metroidvania style because it enhances exploration and lengthens gameplay, going back to an earlier level/area where there were things I couldnt get the first time is just fun. That isnt stale, that's wanting more out of your videogame than 5-hours of gameplay and running the same thing on a higher difficulty.

The Silent Protagonist

Mercury Stream is pretty much against giving traditional fans what they want, so this isn't going to a Metroidvania or even classic CV, just more of their story-driven God of War-inspired wank.

If that's what you're looking for, I'd suggest looking into Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion on 3DS or Guacamelee on PS3/Vita in the future.

The Silent Protagonist

"If a Metroidvania is what you want..." I mean.
