Just revealed in the newest edition of Nintendo Power, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow- Mirror of Fate is the first Castlevania game for the 3DS and serves as the bridge between Lords of Shadow and Lords of Shadow 2. Mirror of Fate is a 2.5D sidescrolling adventure that is very similar to the other Metroidvania style handheld offerings like Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin. You begin the game as Trevor Belmont and in later stages of the game will be able to play as up to three other descendants of the Belmont clan including the iconic Simon Belmont. From the screenshots I have seen and the cover story I read, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow- Mirror of Fate has quickly jumped up my list of anticipated games. Really looking forward to see the game in motion at E3 next week.
Another 3DS game highly anticipated by yours truly. The newest Fire Emblem has been doing well in Japan since its release earlier in the year yet nothing has been said about a North American release. E3 seems like a perfect time for Nintendo to announce the newest installment in this incredible strategy game series is coming to our shores complete with accompanying DLC.
Ever since Capcom announced Resident Evil 6 way back in January, I have been hanging on every little thing Capcom drops on the game. Apart from the trailers and screenshots, nothing else has been showed on the next game in this classic survival horror franchise. Resident Evil 6 looks to blend the tension-filled atmosphere of the original Resident Evil games with the high-octane action of later installments in the series. Being Capcom's biggest game of 2012, there should be no doubt that we should see at least one or two demos of the game being showed off next week along with another excellent trailer to boot.
Tomb Raider was easily one of my most anticipated games of 2012 until it got delayed until March 2013. Even though I am a little sad, it means more time for the Crystal Dynamics to make the best Tomb Raider game of all-time. More visceral, more gritty and more mature than all the other installments in the Tomb Raider franchise, Tomb Raider serves as Lara Croft's origin story. The E3 2012 trailer was released earlier today and it is just incredible. If this trailer is a sign of the things to come this year at E3, Tomb Raider should definitely impress.
I have stated this fact many times before and I will state it once again. I am a huge Nintendo fan and the one thing I have been patiently waiting to hear and see more of is the Wii U. First shown of last year at E3 to some confusion, this year is the full unveiling of Nintendo's next generation console. The uses of the controller, the final specs of the console, the first-party games, the third-party support and the plan for online are among few of the topics that will definitely be addressed this coming Tuesday. My anticipation for Wii U has been building for a year now as I have patiently waited for this year's Nintendo Press Conference. Tuesday honestly could not come any sooner. It should be incredible.
