Can't wait. All these ninty games coming out in march, I better start saving.

Probably my most anticipated 3DS game for next year.

already got mine pre-ordered

Not much love for this game! Not sure how this will play but looks really good. Hoping for a good review but will still probably get it.

This is definitely the 3ds game I'm most looking forward to!

The boxart has been revealed and it's a M rated game.

I'm quite surprised with that tbh,I was expecting a T.
I should think the PEGI rating will be a 16+

boxart looks cool
if the reviews are okay i will check this out

the PEGI rating is 16. here's the link to the article with the box art

They should call this thread Dracula because I'm reviving it >: D

What's everyone's thoughts on the demo? I found it surprisingly hard - I was unable to just plough through enemies like the GBA/DS games. The graphics were pretty stellar too - I'm looking forward to the release of this game

I didnt see the demo yet everyone is talking about it. All I see is Sonic and MH3. Did I miss something?

@Tasuki It seems it's PAL only for now :/

Ah ok that would explain it lol.

Wish NA got the demo too. Anyone in Europe who has it how is it? Is the 3D cool?

I think we get it next week.

I was also disapointed by the M rating, I dislike M ratings. Not knocking anyone that does like it, its just not for me.

^Do you dislike the M rating for being too high or too low? haha

The 3D in this game is quite excellent - it seems by 2.5D Konami means that the game is rendered in 3D but is functionally a two dimensional game. The whip is also a very robust weapon now, having a much larger area of effect and the ability to whip up, down, diagonally, squagonally, etc. There are a lot of unlockable special moves which makes the game play a little bit like a Beat-em-up, and there's somewhat less platforming than there used to be. What's great though is that most enemies follow complex attack patterns and you will die quickly if you try to button mash. All in all, feels like a really solid title.

I'm being told by a colleague to download and play this demo... but if I do I fear I may end up buying it. I have too many games to buy as it is!!!

best use of 3D i have seen so far on the 3DS.
i said it in multiple threads now and i will say it again.

the game looks awesome !

That's really good to hear. I'm now really looking forward to this! Wish I could play it now though.

Fps is kinda low but other than that the demo is really, really good!
