ESRB Listing Reveals New DS Castlevania Title
by Aaron Linde, Apr 14, 2008 10:51am PDT
A new listing on the Entertainment Software Rating Board's website indicates that a new title in Konami's long-running Castlevania series is heading to the Nintendo DS.
Entitled Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, the title was also recently discovered in an entry in the US Patent and Trademark Office's database which revealed the game's title and logo.
Previous Castlevania appearances on the Nintendo DS platform include Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin, released in 2005 and 2006, respectively. A third title in the 2D adventure series was confirmed as in development by series producer Koji Igarashi last year.
Shacknews has reached Konami for confirmation, but has not heard back as of this writing.

At the least this should be better than Portrait of Ruin, right?
Better than nothing, I suppose. I can't get enough of these games, derivative as they are. Guess it's time to switch my prayers towards a new 2D Metroid from Nintendo.

The GBA/DS games, especially Aria of Sorrow and beyond, have been amazing. I still need to play Portrait of Ruin, it's been rather hard to find, but I have loved Dawn of Sorrow, despite my initial lukewarm feelings towards it. It started off kinda slow and "samey", especially since i beat Aria so many times, but after you get about halfway into the first play through, it gets good. IMHO, the real games are the second, harder play through with Soma, and the Alternate playthrough with Alucard, Belmont, and Sypha which stems off of the evil ending of the first playthrough, and is hard as fuck.
I am kind of excited to be in the position of being "behind" on, soon, two DS castlevanias. For anybody that is keeping up, it's like getting continual sequels to SOTN, which console-only gamers have totally missed out on.
I do hope they return to the art style of Symphony for the characters and cinematics though, as the anime stylings of DoS and PoR are the only things I dislike in them.
