Looks great so far!

Hopefully it's more like Dawn of Sorrow than Portrait of Ruin.

What the hell are you doing? I've seen you touting that R4 thing around here before. Get over it.

No problems for me to play it since I can afford 40 bucks!

Man, you're JUST begging for the righteous banhammer of justice to be brought down upon your head.

This is a Big Deal. Color me eager.

Here's a third vote for "ban the idiot".

Every single one of his comments has been "i hav R4 lololol n u gaiz r dum 4 buyin gamez"

...Why do you feel the need to mention your R4 incessantly? Do you HONESTLY believe you're the only one here with a flash cart? That you're somehow "special" or "smart" for pirating DS games when any idiot with a few minutes and the right equipment could do the same?

Shut up and get bent, you redundant little turd.

hell yes.

So is this a remake of that mobile phone castlevania or do we still not know?

I don't think the fact you have an R4 is the troubling, difficult part. Rather, I think the issue is that's all you've been saying. "I've got an R4! I've got an R4! I've got an R4, and you idiots are paying for games!"

Hey mods? If you're reading this, instead of banning the guy, is there any way of changing his name? Perhaps to something like "I HAV R4 U R STPUD 4 PAYIN GAMZ"? I figure having that as a name would save everyone time.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I like Castlevania a lot, but I'm a bit tired of remakes as a whole and the moble phone game (at least the demo I tried) didn't wow me for what should be obvious reasons. And sure, a remake would fix some of the problems, presumably, but...I dunno.

Has anyone else noticed the return of a hearts counter as well as the magic meter? Are they returning to SotNishness? Perhaps we'll have more than 4 slots of equipment and an actual shield button as well! Perhaps I'm getting overly excited too early :(

"there will be support for two players, though the exact nature of the multiplayer (local play? WFC?) remains a miserable little pile of secrets."

Thank you. It has been at least a year since I've laughed out loud at a game reference in anyone's posts. This totally caught me off guard and brightened up my miserable little pile of a day!

i like the fact that the character art has returned to the older style, instead of the "american anime" look of portrait.

Awesome!
I'm getting it and I'd love more details!
At least 1 series is keeping things real by not becomeing something its not and staying very close to its roots!

From the scan,

1) Name is roughly translated "Castelvania: The stolen seal"
2) It's probably not a remake (Japanese says "Newest entry in the popular Castlevania series)
3) The heroINE is this girl Shanoa / Shanoah

Enjoy!!!
