that sounds interesting

 

[Narin]

Portrait of Ruin allowed you to own a shop as well to sell items and earn money over WiFi.

I have Castlevania for SNES...but I've never played it really. I think I'll get to know all the old school games that I got last summer but never really had time to play....This looks good by the way.

this is looking beautiful. finally some great 2d again.

also that Glyph attack/magic system sounds interesting.. (edit: yeah, looks great as well)

Glyphs: Known:
Magnes – Allows Shanoa to slingshot to inaccessible areas or cling to metal rods using the magnetism.

the video didnt play the first time.. now i tried the direct url. that worked.

Man, Looks good nothing else expected from a Castlevania game

 

[Suspicion]

This looks good and all, and it's a direct sequal to Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, which is a plus, but where oh where is our 1999 Julius Belmont game? I'm going to go insane waiting for it.

Wasn't a big fan of Portrait of Ruin so hopefully this is a lot better.

I'm loving the character designs, the main character is hot. The game itself should be amazing as usual, definitely a day one purchase.

Giant enemy crab sighted, must attack its weak point for MASSIVE damage. XD

Anyone notice that in game the girl has Brown hair instead of Black? Not a big deal just me noticing minor details.
