When the scans got leaked online showing off a new Castlevania title, we don't have to tell you how exciting it was. Our staff was all kinds of happy, sipping on champagne and even a few were making copies of their butt on the Xerox machine. Now, you have to prepare yourself, because looking at scans is nothing like getting your eyes all up on some direct-feed screens, right? Right.Well, thanks to a post over at NeoGAF, that's what we're looking at right here. And, we'll do you one more solid. We'll save you the trouble of having to say it: those sprites look utterly fantastic.

If Hinkle says it looks good, it looks good.
I am so excited for this game. Finally! My DS and I are going to spending a LOT of time together.

May I be the first to say, thank you for not posting the butt-shots.

WUT.
lol, Seriously what?
And this is my first time hearing about a new Castlevania, is the main character a girl? That's pretty cool. Can't wait for it, looks amazing.

They look great. Good to see that they're not sticking with the two-person gameplay like in Portrait of Ruin.

I dunno I kinda liked that. If anything it was interesting and gave the game a new feel.

Personally, Dawn of Sorrow is my favourite DS game, so just emulating that would've pretty much made it golden in my eyes.

Looks like they got rid of the horrendous anime art style of Portrait of Ruin, thankfully. Nothing against anime, but it was an awful departure from their usual gothic art style.

Agreed. Though, some of the art was pretty interesting to see in the preorder bonus art book.
Also, does ANYONE else see the size of that motherfscking sword?!

Agreed. While I definitely liked Portrait of Ruin's art better than Dawn of Sorrow, I much preferred this style. It's nice to see it return.

It's interesting it's called the 'Order of Eclessia' because eclessia in Greek means 'the assembly' or more properly for Castlevania 'The Church.'
In this case, will we see a character who works for the church, unlike Soma (I suppose), or even Jonathan and Scarlet.
It looks great though. Castlevania keeps looking better and better. If only it was longer than 8-10 hours though.

Well, if Castlevania wouldn't be so repetitive. I may try it, though, just to gaze at the graphics.
