._. I was so hopeing for a 2d Castlevania on the 3DS. Afterall the gameboy/DS were knowsn to get 2D Castlevanias and not 3D ones

[Kiarax]

Looks like it might be 2.5D at the very least? But it's on the 3DS, I doubt 2D games are something we'll be seeing much of given the entire systems gimmick...

[Kaisha]

The two screenshots give me the impression the game moves along a 2d plane. I'd probably be more interested if that's the case than it would be 3d roaming with a fixed camera.

Having a fixed camera would also allow them to milk each scene visually at least, which would let the 3DS shine a little.

[EDIT] Damnit Kiarax, beaten by a minute. I'd prefer a real 2d Castlevania on the Vita at any rate. Pixel perfect sprites at 960x544 rather than 400x200....

[Xno Kappa]

one mirrion pixels, wow.

Might be time to get a 3DS again.

Trevor also sounds a lot like Robb Stark.

Who's Alucard going to be? How are there other Belmonts. I'm so confused!

[arus2001]

Could see Alucard being some mirrored aspect of Gabriel manifested through whatever plot device they whip up. Or they could try to maintain the thought of him being Drac's kid, just how he's there will depend on timing or other magical macguffins.

THREE!

THREE BELMONTS!
