I didn't mind the demo, but I agree that it was Castlevania in name and location only. It's got 3D action controls in a 2-ishD environment, and felt like a 2D God of War.

The game itself looks beautiful, and it's not bad by any means. But it would've been way better to have a "normal" Castlevania with the 3DS 3D effect. That really would've popped.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

pce drac x is still the greatest of all of 'em, especially when considering its age and on what hardware it's running on :)

I agree. I did like Symphony of the Night/Nocturne in the Moonlight and a few of the other games in that style, but I think they definitely took the ball and ran too far with it on the whole Metroidvania style. PCE Dracula X had a great atmosphere and music. I can't even remember the music from this latest 3DS demo. The game has no personality. PCE Dracula X has tons.

Personality is a great term to describe it. Something that 99.9% of all todays game do not have anymore.

I've never played the original Lords of Shadow (I'd like to someday) and barely played any 3D Castlevania game as a matter of fact. Mirror of Fate isn't appealing to me at all. From what I have seen, it looked like a 2D God of War to me too.

I have to agree that the PCE Dracula X was an incredible game but SotN is possibly my favorite video game of all times. It just perfectly fits my tastes in every of it's aspects.

They did. But it's a lightweight game called Castlevania AfterBirth for the Wii and it's digital download only, not a real game. I'd like to see one like that with a full budget.

I f*cking loled, so hard.
