Well, we know Nintendo has a lotplanned for the 3DS for the rest ofthisyear, but there’s not much going on for the system next year. Konami appears to have made it easier for ol’ Nintendo by announcingCastlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fatewill be hitting the 3DS “early” 2013. That gives us plenty of time to stay busy until wheneverAnimal Crossing: Jump Outmakes its way to Western shores.
The other day, Konami released somescreenshots forMirror of Fateand I was again reminded of the exciting prospect to play a Metroidvania on my 3DS. Until it was made clear to me that even though it’ll be a side-scrolling game,Mirror of Fatewillnotbe a Metroidvania. That made me sad. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sureMirror of Fatewill be super awesome, but I really wanted some of that classicCastlevaniagameplay we’ve come to love, you know? Maybe some change is for the better? We’ll find out come early 2013.
