The sequel in my opinion is one of the best games on the eShop and had one of the worst reviews I ever read on this site. But anyway, M2 as a developer probably means that it will be 3D effect, unlike the previous entries.

@tsukipon Most of the bosses of the first game appear again in some way or another, but it's a new story that happens some time after the first game and isn't directly connected.

@tsukipon It has a new story with returning characters from the first game and references to its events, it's just (apparently) not part of an overarching plot or anything like that.

@tsukipon It has new bosses, new stages, new gameplay mechanics and a "new" playable character. How is it not a full fledged sequel?

I'm having a hard time believing you actually played the game to completion or for any significant amount of time, it improved the formula of the first in pretty much every way.

@Inkling It's inherently wrong since it's calling SK a fighting game.

"It was, in a sense, the original 'SMT x Fire Emblem'. "
That would be Majin Tensei for the Super Famicom, actually.

@Kaze_Memaryu
You can clearly see them when they're on "mech" mode.

That's nice and all, I was interested in some features of the amiibos but not in the figures themselves, but what about the price?

@Spade_the_prinny They make money from getting views, what's in the videos doesn't matter.

@Hero-of-WiiU People here used to import slot machines and things like that as arcade machines.

@Savino That wasn't my point. Also, people are buying more PS4's than Wii U's pretty much everywhere besides Japan.

@Starwolf_UK The canadian eShop apparently accepts ANY credit card. Don't ask me why.

@Savino "Although our 1.600 US$ PS4 sells a lot more than the 400$ WiiU!"
Let's be honest here, nobody actually buys the consoles officially released here. Game stores in my city sell the PS4 for about 700 US$.

@LinkSword Atlus has no european branch. You'd think Sega would do something about that but apparently they didn't.

@Spoony_Tech Etrian Mystery Dungeon has the usual price tag of 40 bucks. Then again it's a spinoff...

@Maelstrom Dude...what the hell are talking about? The only games Atlus made for the Vita so far are Persona 4: The Golden and that still unreleased P4 dancing game.

@Chaos_Eevee The entire series has pathetic difficulty, I don't know why you're expecting this to be any different...

@ohako You could camp on the labyrinth in EO 3.

@shane1228
Something many people don't know is that AHL actually has nothing to do with Assault Horizon. At all. It's a remake of Ace Combat 2 and titled Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble in Japan.

They announced it like a week ago, it was even in japanese DIrect...

@Zexaal
SMT II is a direct sequel to SMT I, so it's better to play these in order. They're also MUCH easier than Nocturne, SJ and IV. Seriously some of the easiest JRPG's ever made.

@CanisWolfred You can change the direction Richter is facing but not change the trajectory of the jump. Still, Dracula X worked on the exact same way.

"In Dracula X, it’s almost as if there’s a slight delay to every movement, forcing you to react pro-actively as opposed to reactively."
Well, that's how Castlevania is. Everything moves slowly, your commands have a certain delay(like the swinging animation of the whip), and you have very limited means to attack the enemies. It's not really about reacting to things like Ninja Gaiden or Contra, you plan how you'll deal with enemies in the window of time the game gives you. Super Castlevania IV was an anomaly and not as well liked as the reviewer seems to believe.

@Discord_Inc I'm playing it right now on the Vita and you can steer a bit if you do a neutral jump, but if you jump left or righ you can't change it at all. Just like Dracula X.

@LDXD " but it has arguably the best music in a video game "
Like most Castlevania games. Even The Adventure had an excellent soundtrack.

@Ruffigan
Because it attracts other potential customers? Because some people like this kind of thing? Because the creators wanted it to be that way?

@Ruffigan
"what, here, is being lost by making these characters normal looking, relatable women?"
Titilation?

@PunchaYoBuns
"it's really not equal in their media"
That couldn't be more wrong.

@unrandomsam Maybe matters of import on "Duel Love"?

@CrazyOtto
I'm sure there is but...why? Doesn't make sense much from a commercial standpoint because you might make your consumers confused or uncomfortable with some of the game content.

@CrazyOtto
There is absolutely no shortage of both, just of localizations.

@ User1988
" If those were pictures of men in banana hammocks with oversized and over detailed genitalia you'd all be really f*cking uncomfortable right now. "
Yes. Would we be saying that it should be censored and people shouldn't make these games because it objectifies men? Most likely no.

@Ultra_Mario1001
It wouldn't be okay for you? Why?

"Parental controls are all very well, but many younger gamers could potentially be in a position to purchase and download the game without having to alert their parents to the fact."
That's a ridiculous argument. It applies to every game on every platform.
"The objective here is titillation, which makes it relatively easy to see why female players — just like the one who confronted me in the Nintendo Life office — are so uneasy with this situation."
So? It only means the main demographic for this game are not women. Do every game has to appeal to everyone? Games targeted towards females shouldn't exist because of male players?

Ehhh...do not want. Dual-screens should never go away, to be honest. I'm surprised Sony made the Vita with only one, clamshell design is the best for handheld consoles. It also seems kinda silly to aim for high specs in a handheld, the only reason they get so much support is because of how cheap to develop for they are.

I don't care. Except for the part about MS not working on Castlevania anymore. Maybe now we can get some decent 2D games.

Gameplay video.

@ HyperSonicEXE It's not censoring. It wasn't there in the first place. It would arguably be censoring if the 3DS games were released after Versus, but that's not the case.

@HyperSonicEXE That's not censoring. The original SK and SKB were simply made that way.

@HyperSonicEXE
"Please don't be grossly overcensored this time."
What?

@ShadowFox254 One of them is Murasame, Ikaruga's brother. Hoping the other one is Kirya.

@TheStubbsMan The difference being that they actually made a Resident Evil 4.

Capcom being Capcom. After giving us Xover on the 25th anniversary of Megaman nothing they do surprises me anymore.

@ecco6t9 It barely outsold SotN but outsold the DS games by quite a bit.

@Tasuki, people shot it down because it was a bad game. Enemies took too long to kill while not being even remotely challenging, it had a lot of QTE's( to open chests, for God's sake), generic music and bad framerate. I think MS never made a 2D game before, because it plays like a 3D beat'em up with one less dimension, and that simply doesn't work. When you can't use the D-pad on a 2D sidescroller you know something is wrong with the game.

"3DS was graced with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate "
That graced part was ironic, right?

@B3ND3R
" Same with Dungeons."
What do you mean? We already know the dungeons will be in 1st person.

@GuardianKing
Considering we haven't seen anything about fusions or Social Links, I guess it will be just an EO IV reskin with that Press-Turn lite system Persona uses. Which I'm totally fine with, because to be honest EO is miles above Persona as far as gameplay and dungeon design goes.

@theblackdragon
"Do we get to 'tickle' them?"
But of course. Just Google "Duel Love" for DS.
