New Castlevania DS game to be revealed next month!

If a suggestively worded blurb at the back of this month's Nintendo Power magazine is to be believed, the next issue is set to unveil a brand new Castlevania game for everyone's favorite touchy-feely portable. Under the "World Exclusive" banner, the text reads:

As mysterious as a new moon, the follow-up to one of 2005's best DS titles is a whip-smart adventure that you won't want to miss.

Perhaps we just haven't been spending enough time outside, but those words instantly conjure up the loving image of an androgynous hero traipsing through a musty, upside-down castle and whipping evil bats to shreds. They also match up with Konami's previous promises that there would be another entry into the series following the spectacular Dawn of Sorrow, this time incorporating Nintendo's Wi-Fi service. Oh yes.

Though the mag's mention of a moon might imply a sequel to the GBA's Circle of the Moon, would a port of Symphony of the Night be too much to ask for? If so, how about we suggest some other appropriate titles:

* Castlevania: Dirge of Despair
* Castlevania: Polka of Purgatory
* Castlevania: Elegy of Regret
* Castlevania: Waltz of Discontentedness
* Castlevania: Whine of Irritability
* Castlevania: Ditty of Unhappiness

[Thanks Deep.Grave!]

How a Castlevania game could incorporate innanetz play is beyond me... All I can imagine is a form of co-op play or the same 2p mode that was in DoS being online, or the ability to trade items or something...

At any rate, I doubt we'll be seeing anything like "LF1M Clock Tower, Whip-Master PST".

Dear god, I hope it's a Belmont this time.

Awesome news. I don't care what it's called if it's anywhere near as good as DoS.

Don't forget the evil DS Mojo. I have almost as many DS games as Cube titles... look at the timescales!

god bless the DS :buttrock:

still, what i wouldnt give for a new 2d ps2 or xbox castlevania.

starman · Mar 29, 2006

I dont think the newest castlevania will be too good--DoS was just released, plus the metroidvania formula is wearing thin.

I need a real 2d console castlevania. Enough of this handheld business.

TonK · Mar 29, 2006

Honestly, I'd love a GAMECUBE 2D Castlevania...

barf · Mar 29, 2006

I fear some kind of N64-port and not a 2D game... dunno why...

If it s a new 2D game i ll get it though

that s what i bought the DS for.

If I had to guess, I'd say it'll most likely be a prequel with the young Julius, in 1999.

Maybe the rest of you are sick of him, but after Julius mode in DoS, I'm kind of hoping this one will be set in 1999.

Tung Fu ru · Mar 30, 2006

FUCK YEAH!!! :buttrock:

I can't wait to play it.....

IMTheWalrus · Mar 30, 2006

Great news. Every 2d castlevania game has been fun for the last few years.

Seijuro Hiko · Mar 30, 2006

I read that it will be called Castlevania: Dual Moons and it will be sequel to Circle of the Moon. That means the Morris are back. :cool:

i am excited about the game. the title would probably be something quarky with the DS in it like Dead Symphony or something to that effect. (just a guess though)

Julius mode was the bomb, I could only hope this comes true.

Been there done that, you're behind the times!

Of course...knowing how much 360 you play...you shall be forgiven.

One of many April Fool's Jokes? There's gonna be a shitload of them this weekend.

But if not, then please by all means Konami... keep churning out the 2D goodness!
