Nintendo should buy the Bomberman ip.
Ahh great minds think alike, sadly such a feat isn't so easy, it depends on price and if Konami actually has any secret desire to keep the IP. Nintendo can certainly buy it with their huge money hoard, but I don't know, we want them to, but will they?

I fucking pray he's not serious anyways.
Remember he said 3D CV. Lords is a better 3D game, but CV64/LoD was a better game at keeping that Castlevania vibe all over the place. It had a pretty awesome castle, too. It's the other things that tamper with the game, like a stupid item collection segment and a pretty mediocre camera.

I really loved Curse of Darkness. I have great memories of going through that game.
I was so excited coming into this topic, a new Castlevania is one of the games I've been waiting for to appear on the 3DS as an excuse to get it.
But damn, by the Lords of Shadow people, I mean, I enjoyed Lords of Shadow and all but it never really hit that Castlevania spot that most of the series always has since Castlevania IV on the Snes, I want a igavania game not something that will probably tie into LoS2.
Still, I can hold out hopes for a Vita Castlevania at some point as I already have one, a Castlevania on that screen and hardware would be wonderful.

why do you all want a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a good game so much? the constant metroidvania rehashes on DS were getting a bit stale, none of them were even close to as good as SOTN. personally I like trying new games more than playing rehashes of a good 15 year old game. Can't you just play SOTN when you want that style of game?
LoS was interesting and still felt like "real" castlevania game to me, but i guess not all of us are fortunate enough to remember fighting dracula on the NES more than 20 years ago.
Also LOI on ps2 was pretty good too.

Great news. It wasn't the best Castlevania, but Dawn of Sorrow made me really glad about my DS phat purchase wayyyyy back in the day. I'm one of the ones who loved OoE, but how long ago was that? 5 years or something? More? Be nice to have some more castlevania up in here.
You say that as if Lords of Shadow is a really unique action game.

Ok, Iga's gone. Where did he go and what happened?
bumping for this again that someone posted.. wth?? this is a reported LoS2 shot? or possibly 3DS?
It's Clive Barker's Jericho.

Excellent question. Because I want to eat it.
Damn! Sorry, no. Because I want to play it. Play, not eat.

The Sorrows were better than SotN IMO, and were not copies.
He went to develop 3rd rate games. After Harmony of Despair he made a new Dating Sim and a /thing/ called Leedmees or something like that. Oh and a Gradius clone (parody?) called Otomedius Excellent that included a female chibi belmont in diapers as playable character (ugh).
All of them flopped.
This is one of the announcements I had been waiting for but my hype deflated when I saw Mercury Steam, which seems common. I'll hold out hope that some thing good can come out of this.
Your aloof tone is amusing. SOTN is a great game. OoE, DoS, and AoS surpassed it. LOS is a decent, enjoyable action game. Nothing more, nothing less in my opinion.

Yeah, I got burned out by playing the three GBA games, which I thought weren't that good anyway. The Metroidvania term is an insult to Metroid actually.
As far as I'm concerned, Rebirth is the best CV this gen.
That's why everyone bashes you everywhere. Your batlant fanboyism is sick.

You don't count as "everyone", child.
Couldn't care less anyway.

Even if Iga is really "gone", they could still make the game in the vein of the ones he made.
Which would be better than "the new series" you seem so excited about, if by that you mean Lords of Shadow and any sequels to it. That game was good (even though the story sucked) but it's no SOTN.
Isn't this what this is rumored to be? A 2D MetroidVania sidescroller?
Spectacular

If true, 3DS+WiiU for me. Although I'm not sure how playing action games on the WiiU controller is going to be...

A 2D side scroller with some neat 3D effects could make this awesome.
I'm really debating between getting a DSiXL for my DS gaming needs, but if this is as good as it sounds AND they localize Phoenix Wright vs Layton... I'm buying a damn 3DS.

No additional functions
I miss the art direction and music from the Iga games. If Mercury Steam can get close to replicating that, then I'll be happy. The story from LoS wasn't really much different from past Iga games. The gameplay was by far the best the series has ever seen in 3D though. So, I think they're more than capable of pulling off something in 2D. I have a feeling it will be more action oriented than past games though. I'm actually really excited about it.

Wait, this is confirmed 2D sidescroller? I'm in.
Hi! Found me, I'm a double agent
So, Castlevania in ALL platfforms? And as a WiiU launch title? Sounds CRAZY
Alright this is what I want to happen, I'm all for a 3DS game but give me my LoS sequel on consoles please.

Get Inside Her!
The hell?
it's best to just stick him on your ignore list and move on, Dave cox and his team can do no wrong in his eyes. it's a shame you can't do that on other castlevania boards.
I at least hope he's getting money from konami for his efforts hahaha

I mean, it's kinda large. I even think the 360 controller is kind of bulky for some action games. I'm much better at games like this with a Dualshock controller.
I'd love to be proven wrong, I'm just going by what I can see.
The same as playing one on any other controller except with a persistent map in the middle.

Like I said, the bulkier the controller, the worse I am at playing fast paced action titles. If you guys don't have that problem, that's awesome, but I definitely do. I tried playing DMC4 on the 360 controller and it was not a pleasant experience.
Same with the DMC HD Collection. I just couldn't do it. Thankfully I managed Bayonetta a bit better, but I would have definitely went for the PS3 version if it weren't such a sad piece of shit port.
