This week is just brimming with rumors, from the revised Wii U controller to the Star Fox/Metroid crossover . Adding to the pile is a rumor that has gained some steam recently - that a new Castlevania game, called Castlevania: Mirror of Fate , is being developed for 3DS.As reported by Paul Gale Network , as well as a variety of other sources, the game is purportedly a 2D adventure that stars two different playable characters and features co-op play. The game apparently strives to make creative use of the 3DS’s cameras, with the forward-facing camera acting as some sort of mirror and the outward facing one being utilized for a new puzzle-solving mechanic.A Wii U version was apparently also in development, but has since been canned in favor of a sequel to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The rumored Lords of Shadow 2 will reportedly be cross-platform, coming to Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The Wii U version will supposedly support 3DS connectivity, and will be an upgraded port of the PS3 and Xbox 360 build.For more juicy rumors and exciting revelations leading up to E3, keep it locked on IGN.
