Konami has already confirmed a number of titles for the Nintendo 3DS, including games in theMetal Gear,Frogger, andContrafranchises. Although not confirmed,Castlevaniamay be among those titles, as well.
According to new rumors from industry writerPaul Gale, sources are indicating that Konami’s “arrests and 3D modelers have already begun work on then nextCastlevaniagame and that it’s for 3DS.” Additionally, Gale mentions that the game may make use of the handheld’s 3D camera.
Earlier this year whenI spoke with Igarashi at E3, he admitted to not only having a 3DS development kit, but finding the technology extremely interesting. At that time, he said that he certainly wanted to create games for the 3DS, but his ideas were still in the early stages.
Considering the critical success of theCastlevaniatitles for Nintendo’s handhelds — including the Game Boy Advance and DS — a new entry for the series on the 3DS seems like a given. The idea certainly already has piqued my interest, and I’m certain I’m not alone, right?
