I really like the two DS vanias, and it's great to see some news about the sequel.
However. It reminds me even more that hell - we need a 2D Metroid for the DS.

How ya doing, buddy?

I mean, Fusion and Zero Mission (my personal favorite Metroid) did wonderful on GBA. Metroid is like Nintendo's coolest series, and it should be natural for it to get a couple of games on the DS - preferrably 2D if you ask me. Although being fairly quiet, there has to be some freaking demand among the fans?

EDIT: Oh and I have to give DoS kudos for it's alternative extended ending. That was awesome.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And here's an interview with Koji Igarashi (Also including some new material).

The trailer really pumped up my hype. I've been longing for the new 'vania.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Check out the animation on that trailer

But hey, according to Game-Releases.net it's out today?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

First impression speaks of a very promising Castlevania, but it sure feels way harder than DoS an PoR. I had some serious trouble with the second boss before figuring out some unfair kind of "exploit". After that, I died from a normal enemy. Two times

Still, awesome. Shanoa is totally hot, so are the improved sprites and backgrounds (animations too). Haven't got that many Glyphs so far, standard swords and axes, but I hope to see some awesome magic later on.

I enjoy the new level system too. It feels refreshing, and I'm sure we get to see the castle by the later part of the game anyway.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Really? I get the impression that the enemies takes a lot more hits and dish out a lot more damage. I had quite a hard time with that big red head flying around.

I still love it so far though. I like the layout of going between places, stopping by the village for healing up and maybe visiting a new villager you saved earlier.

FELIPE NO
