First Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia trailer is awesome, whipless

We've yet to play a DS incarnation of Konami's vamp-slaying franchise that we didn't thoroughly enjoy -- if this debut trailer for the next installment in the handheld series is any indication, that streak appears to show no signs of stopping. This stylish trailer introduces us to the protagonist of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia -- the raven-haired Shanoa (who looks a bit too similar to Bullet Witch's Alicia for our comfort), and her many, many methods for murdering and dismembering ol' Vlad's minions. Sure, she may not wield the Vampire Killer whip made famous in other Castlevania titles, but she does dispatch a Giant Enemy Crab with a falling elevator, which arguably possesses a bit more panache than the Belmont family's legendary cord.

SOTN says hello.

Hey I played this game before but it wasn't called Sont? :P

Well using logic (internet infamous arch-enemy) any game like SONT A.K.A Metroidvania should be as good.I'm buying this.

I like this new character,I really disliked the characters from the Sorrow series.

By the way if you like these Castlevania games don't ever try Rondo of Blood because is f*cking hard.Is a great game especially the PSP version but damn is hard.

Voice actresses need to stop using soft moans for when their character is killed. This goes double for games that feature tentacle monsters as enemies.

they need to do a collection with updated graphics for the ps3/ps2/wii/360

they are all good. too good for just the ds.....
i have them all from the nes to the gba to the ds...
some of the ds ones used the touch screen to do things like the capture of the bosses.... but they can easily redo that...
