Cover is a guy in the snowy woods? That sounds like AC3.

Nope, it's Lord of shadows I think (just seen the scans of the cover)
There are also tiny scans of tiny screenshots of Mirror of fate. Mercury steam is developing it, and it's polygonal.

edit: haha, I forgot that it is banned

 

[Ahasverus]

What are you waiting to show us the images, please?

 

[faridmon]

You are already dead dissapoint

 

[RobotHaus]

Castlevania?

 

[Vanillalite]

Go nintendo has it up.

********** Link!

 

[Aostia]

LoS2 after all. Guess it's coming to WiiU then.

what about maximu troll level if it is Lord of Shadows...without the number 2 at the end?
Or even worst: Lord of shadows is just the name of the game, with Mirror of fate as "subtitle"?

 

[MatthewB92]

 

[Kyou]

Is that Simon?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Looks like Vagrant Story, but on 3DS. And when I mean VS, I mean top down, isometric 3d graphics.

 

[D_prOdigy]

It's just the 3DS game then. Nothing about LOS2 on Wii U.

 

[Vanillalite]

Go nintendo has it up.

********** Link!

 

[BY2K]

So wait...

It's Casltevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate?

LoS2 and Mirror of Fate are the same game?

 

[Father_Brain]

The game's full title is Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. No LOS2 in this issue, apparently.

And I guess that Simon/Alucard leak from a day or two ago was fake. Screenshots look nice, from what little I can make out, though they won't appease those who would prefer sprites.

It seems like it's 2.5D, but with something of a dynamic camera?

- deep combat mechanics
- involves Trevor Belmont
- Fight with Trevor's version of the Combat Cross
- strong attacks with X
- wider-reaching attacks with Y
- secondary weapons like the boomerang-like glaive and electric bomb
- use these with A
- grab enemies with R
- block and dodge with L
- involves light and shadow magic returns
- earn experience points to unlock new combos
- these include launching foes into the air, smashing enemies down to the ground and more
- includes skeletons, axe-wielding undead and more

Sounds like it's basically LoS, but in 2.5D.

 

[Nirolak]

Thanks, updating.

(Mwuhahaha those Nintendo fans will suffer when I tell them about their interesting Castlevania exclusive! *twirls mustache*)

 

[Smellycat]

It says Lords of shadow-Mirror of Fate.

So, I am guessing the cover is only about the 3DS game, not LOS2.

 

[schlew]

Going to a certain Nintendo site will get you what you want to see. I've been beaten to the punch.

 

[RPGCrazied]

So wait...

It's Casltevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate?

LoS2 and Mirror of Fate are the same game?

I hope not. While the 3DS is good, and should get a Castlevania game, but not Lords of Shadow sequel.

 

[Penguin]

So wait...

It's Casltevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate?

LoS2 and Mirror of Fate are the same game?

That's what I was wondering.. that's.. a long title. Haha

 

[Vanillalite]

So wait...

It's Casltevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate?

LoS2 and Mirror of Fate are the same game?

I'm confused as funk about this as well.

Is this one game? Two games? Does LoS2 = MoF?

Someone care to explain this to me?!?!

 

[Smellycat]

It looks great!!!

 

[Javier]

Castlevania?

 

[Aostia]

Well it could be. I just wanted to point out that it's not 2d sprite, let's say.
And, no LoS2 info at all.

Wii U is doomed and doomed all again.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Cover says Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate as one title, not two.

So it's a companion piece to the console game.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Go nintendo has it up.

Looks potentially very nice! Definitely a bit of a 3d sidescroller / isometric feel to it

 

[Vazra]

Scans are not allowed remove it quickly!

 

[schlew]

My bad. I was going off what my non gaming wife told me, and jumped to conclusions about LOS2.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Is it 2D gameplay viewed from funny angles?

Why is he using a Merman head as a belt buckle?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Scans are not allowed remove it quickly!

I've never seen cover scans be questionable.

 

[Ahasverus]

Is him Trevor or Simon?
Edit: That's Simon, trevor is the green coated guy in the screens

 

[Busaiku]

Darn it, 3D?

 

[Ridley327]

Is it 2D gameplay viewed from funny angles?

That's what the screens look like; it's probably some kind of dynamic camera to help make combat and platforming a bit easier, as well as THREEEEEEE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[StickSoldier]

Well, that's kinda disappointing, the scans are very bad but the graphics don't look so hot.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Super Castlevania 3D Land

what the hell was that red blob teaser thing about?

Thanks, updating.

LOVE IT!

 

[1-D_FTW]

So that's the cover story? Will wait for more pictures before forming an opinion. Surely there has to be more than two photos.

 

[Vazra]

I've never seen cover scans be questionable.

Oh okay!

 

[Jaded Alyx]

...I still think it's Santa.

 

[Earthstrike]

So what is that blacked out image supposed to be exactly?

Oh my God, when did this happen? :lol

<3 Nirolak, and GAF in general.

 

[fse]

Thank god its not another metroidvania, never really enjoyed playing them.

 

[kodt]

"A Cover story for the generations"?

C'mon, we all knew new Castlevania games would be coming to 3DS...

Very good teasing, if you ask me
