    This game sounds better every time I hear about it. I love the Castlevania series, 2D and 3D (I even enjoyed Castlevania 64, although that was years ago so I'm just going off of nostalgia at this point) and this looks to be a fantastic addition to the 2D side of the series. It also means I need to finish LoS, if this is going to be a sequel, so I'll have to get on that ASAP.

    "As the first Castlevania that’s been built with the 3DS in mind, this could lay the foundation for a decidedly different style of handheld Dracula slaying." I just wanted to point out that trough Twitter. LoS's main producer David Cox has repeatedly stated firmly that MercurySteam's involvement with the Castlevania Series, and the Lords of Shadow storyline and games would end with LoS2, after that, they will no longer be the studio in charge of making the next CV game. So for better or worse, it's unlikely that we will see a sequel or a game similar to Mirror of Fate next. Anyway, I'm pretty excited for this game, and i liked the marrying of the fluid LoS combat with 2D platforming and exploring. I'm also intrigued by the fact that you will have FOUR playable characters in the game, and they will all play an important part of the story. So I'm very interesting to see how they handle the multiple characters and storyline. I'm still not sold on the 3D graphics though, no matter how pretty they look, I like my 2D Castlevania fully 2D and with pretty sprite or hand drawn graphics. Still, at least this is decent looking 3D, and not like that God awful style the 3DS Shinobi game had.

    But... how can Trevor have the Combat Cross when Gabriel destroyed it? And if Trevor is Gabriel's son, then there's no way Alucard can be in existence that soon. I'm sure the game will be good, but it looks like they're trying to make the obviously non-canon LoS story canon with more Belmonts. So far, it's not adding up...
