Konami would "absolutely" consider Castelvania: Mirror of Fate HD/console version

You will get a different Nintendo port though! Not a very surprising one, but still.
Enough of this.

Any time frame on that? Also, how do you know?
Anyway, good to see Konami following the Capcom Wii U strategy of porting 3DS games instead of games from more comparable systems, or, god forbid, making new games.

From Konami? Elebits? Dewy's?
Re: MoF HD: I have little reason to doubt that it'll happen, but I'd be pretty surprised to see a Wii U version given what seems to be Konami's general stance on core games for the platform ("no chance" of LoS2, KojiPro controller excuses).
MH? Rayman Legends?

Way to kneecap 3DS SKU sales right out of the gate.

Given the state of third-party support for Vita, I honestly can't think of a Nintendo platform port that would be particularly unsurprising. Rayman Legends, maybe?
...Yeah, I'd go with that. It's the one recent/upcoming third-party exclusive for a Nintendo platform I can think of that many (most) people are expecting to go multiplatform.
Nice, but tbh the only version I really want is the Vita one, they should totally PS3/Vita crossbuy it, would be there day 1 for it.

FWIW, still buying the 3DS version here, provided that I like the demo and it gets good reviews.

I can just picture the headlines: "Nintendo Rages as Cox's Boner Sinks 3DS"

Same here. I like my portable Castlevania's.
Konami should be more furious tho

Seriously, Cox is an idiot. I've had the game pre-ordered for months but I think I'm just going to cancel it. The game wasn't going to light the charts on fire but now its really going to tank.

Well, I don't know it would have sold so much better than Igavanias anyway.

Castlevania Lord of Bomba
Well, it's become kind of a tradition to play Castlevanias on handhelds, so I'm still more inclined to pick up the 3DS version if they've improved the game consoderably. The E3/gamescom demo was pretty terrible and a chore to play, so if they fail to deliver a good game on 3DS they've got at least another chance to improve themselves with the ports.

Bizarre choices if true. Wouldn't sell for crap on a home console unless it was budget priced.
But then there's supposedly not a big enough audience for LOS2 on Wii U despite the CV series having a long, long history with Nintendo.
I do appreciate the honesty though, regardless. It's better than the alternative bullshit "we might actually have to try and stuff" answer.

It's the only correct way to write and pronounce it :3

Heh, the pre-announcement thread called it "Mirror of Faith" (based on a fansite misreporting the name, to be fair). I don't think the mods ever corrected it, for some reason.
Well, he also says uses words like 'consider', so it's technically not a 100% confirmation.
Can they also get Nintendo to do the same for Bayonetta 2?

I would totally consider getting it on PC if it's good. And if LOS1 is finally ported.
The fact that Konami is giving no support at all to Wii U...aside from this, possibly, and RE:R Unveiled Edition SKUs makes me think that the Nintendo exclusivity contract allows for ports of 3DS titles after a little amount of time, BUT with two conditions
1)No Vita
2)There must be a Wii U SKU

Here's a question: When did Konami and Capcom last announce anything for Vita? Anything at all, including multiplatform DD titles?
I don't think they need Nintendo exclusivity contracts to convince them to not support the platform.

fuuck I really hope that LOS 1 port to PC is true.
Konami:
Pro Yakyū Spirits 2013 one or two months ago.
Outside of that game, when did Konami last announce anything for any platform?
Ground Zeroes in August?

TBF PES was on everything but the Vita.
They skipped 2013 and are allegedly going to release the new PES made with the Fox engine, same as for the PES WiiU.
We'll see if that's true.

Crap, I forgot about that one.
But given that (AFAIK) it was the sole Vita title announced in 2012, and that KojiPro's announced post-MGSHD Vita support appears to have been quietly cancelled, I don't think it disproves my point.

You mean THIS shitty Castlevania that nobody asked for, right?
I think Dawn of Sorrow sold more than Revelations in the US. Other Igavanias did well too, I'm not sure, someone help me out here. They usually bomb in Japan though, Lords of Shadow sold waaay more than 2D Castlevanias .

I'm shocked at this too. What on earth possessed such a laid back statement like that?

I'm going with Sammy on this one. Not unheard of for a developer to lie, and Cox has a reason to try to cover his tracks.

Would be funny if Wii U got Mirror of Fate but no LoS2.
