The point of Spider was so he could use X and Zero to gain what he wanted. In the end, they were only his tools.

here's a post i made on another forum which itself is from another forum regarding this new castlevania of which part of it was from yet another forum. i'm on a lot of forums...

-----

Some brief details from Nintendo Power, more info can be gotten from the mag itself:
 
Quote
- deep combat mechanics
- involves Trevor Belmont
- Fight with Trevor's version of the Combat Cross
- strong attacks with X
- wider-reaching attacks with Y
- secondary weapons like the boomerang-like glaive and electric bomb
- use these with A
- grab enemies with R
- block and dodge with L
- involves light and shadow magic returns
- earn experience points to unlock new combos
- these include launching foes into the air, smashing enemies down to the ground and more
- includes skeletons, axe-wielding undead and more

All these complaints; personally I'm a little excited for it. The screenshots clearly indicate 2.5D.


Notice how he's on an XY plane, with the two skeletons perfectly aligned with his path. Note how he's obviously swinging to the left to that chandelier which is also conveniently right in his direct path. The camera may be tilted to the side a bit but it still looks 2.5D to me.

That said, this doesn't look too bad, and I'm sure that considering there IS experience there'll be some sort of exploration component involved as well. Let's not cry foul just yet; IGA may not be involved as far as we can tell, but that doesn't necessitate that this will be absolute garbage.

crossposting from another forum because it's relevant

EDIT: MOAR DETAILS
Quote from: GoNintendo

- direct sequel to Lords of Shadow
- gameplay is reminiscent of Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia
- polygon-based graphics
- primarily plays in 2D and 2.5D
- occasional shift into a fully 3D environment
- Mirror of Fate encourages nonlinear exploration and discovery
- developed by Mecurysteam

“We felt that traditionally Castlevania games had done well on handheld, and indeed found a home there to a certain extent. The whole team really felt we could do something special and memorable on the format that would immerse players totally. The N3DS has allowed us to create something totally unique and exclusive to the format that we think players are going to absolutely love.” - Dave Cox, producer

- picks up 25 years after the end of the events that played out in Lords of Shadow
- Trevor Belmont steps up to stop Dracula

- this is not the same Trevor we know
- gameplay stretches across time
- players will eventually be able to control Trevor’s descendent, Simon Belmont
- there are two other unnamed characters are in the game as well
- switch between the four characters at predetermined points
- work through Dracula’s castle during different time periods
- each warrior boasts different abilities
- explore the same castle with marked differences between each character
- some paths may be blocked off due to characters not sharing the same abilities (like double jumping)

- Simon wields the Vampire Killer whip
- Trevor utilizes the Combat Cross that made its debut in Lords of Shadow
- Simon can use throwing axes and burning oil
- Simon can also summon mystical guardians to fight for him or protect him
- use the touch screen to leave notes for yourself
- mark places that you might like to re-visit later
- SpotPass and StreetPass will come into play

You should do all of it in Critical Mode.
I would, but honestly I don't think I'm nearly good enough for that. Just getting through Critical, probably, but as for doing it all 100%? Yeah that... would probably be beyond my skill level. D:

Oh, I'm not sayin' they don't look like watermelons; I'm just sayin' the coloration would be weird FOR watermelons. XD

He fires watermelons. I think salt is very fitting for this situation.
Those are some funky lookin' watermelons. Like, palette swap watermelons.

I've been waiting for someone to suggest that, MagVanisher.

I'll totally play through this in INVERTED COLORS (>+B)

It is allowed, but those hijacks are generally rude and annoying. Everyone around here has probably seen that thread already, so there's no point in asking for recruitment on the same site, you'll get better results by asking somewhere else :\

Yeah, this pretty much sums it up.

To be on-topic, that filter is nice, and I'm loving how the engine is developing. Keep it up, N-Mario!! :D

Boomer Kuwanger also had some pretty strong analytical skills; besides Sigma and Zero he was pretty much the only other Reploid who, prior to Xtreme2, made any effort to look deeper than the surface in gauging X's abilities.
Is it any wonder he's my favorite X-series boss? :3

I am more concerned with how the final product will look like now that there was a crash in the system and JKBGames is redoing almost everything from scratch.
Crashing just means the compilation failed. If you can't compile you can't test your stuff, so progress is halted, but nothing is actually lost.
I didn't lose anything, I just need to do some clean up on the code and change a few things to use less objects.

I don't think it's as bad as you think it is, Retro.

No, the update is free.

5491
Well, this is surprising.

I never took Nintendo for the type of company to delve so deeply into the 'digital' market. But I'm more interested in them allowing for old super-rare games to be available on the eShop like Shantae. I've been waiting for that ever since I heard about the 3DS' VC service.
yeah the original Shantae would be a great VC game (provided they have the GBA-enabled area active).

for that matter they should bring the oracle games to VC as well (with the advance shop open). you could easily use the Game Notes feature to write down the passcodes and stuff for a linked game.

Mighty Switch Force update coming on Thursday!



also in relation to my last post, when checking the wayforward blog there was an old entry regarding shantae on 3ds vc, and it said they were actively trying. it was several months old, but it's still a hope i guess.

never gonna happen, and im glad. because it will never live up to the hype. Yknow, like Duke Nukem forever.

also, apparently, the title's been registered since february.

http://whois.domaintools.com/castlevania-mirroroffate.net

yeah. Mirror of FATE, not faith.

I hope that it is a Metroidvania 3DS one. And if there's no leveling up, mayhaps it'll be collecting items to grow in strength more like Metroid.

run down a bridge collecting rings.
I suddenly imagined that special stage on 3DS and it was somewhat glorious. XD

You are making all the RMs as plump girls. While I don't really have anything to argue about that (to each their own), it wouldn't be such a bad to add some variations on the character's build.

This is something I've noticed myself; variation would be great, especially if it reflected the RM's personality in some way.

Can't wait for Centaur Woman. :D
