Not sure if this was posted yet. I guess it's rumor for now, but it seems pretty legit.

As part of a collection it seems. Would not be surprised to see this as a standalone on PSN/XBLA, and maybe eShop.

Konami did everything they could to cover this HD port up...oh boy...

But my TV is only a 2D screen.

Maybe it'll run at a serviceable framerate.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

will they translate over the horrendous framerate for that true 3DS experience

The demo for this game did not impress me at all, and judging from what Creamsugar or who else said in one of the NPD threads it sold extremely bad over here. Could be Konami trying to recoup any losses on it by putting it on other consoles to make more money, like Capcom and RE: Revelations.

The 5.1 firmware update improved the framerate for this game considerably.

This is most assuredly the case here.

More likely an HD version was always planned to begin with. A few months ago Cox accidently hinted at that in an interview:

He said: "We created everything in high definition - all the textures, all the levels, high-poly models, everything - and we kind of shrunk it all down into the 3DS.

"Then we lost bones from characters, you know, we dropped the resolution of the textures and everything to make it fit. At MercurySteam we have an HD version of the game sitting there in a computer somewhere."

Asked directly if the studio would consider an HD console version, Cox replied: "Absolutely, yeah. We would consider it."

"We want as many people to play it as possible. Obviously we have an exclusivity deal with Nintendo right now though and they've been very supportive of the product."

Fun game. As always, good production values and voice work from MS. First handheld Castlevania I was able (and happily) to complete since Dawn of Sorrow.

Though I don't know about an HD version, it's really lacking a key feature... the 3D usage on the 3DS version was phenomenal! I felt like I was playing in a diorama, with enemies and activities coming in from the back and foreground really well. Certainly made the castle feel more 'alive'.
