Castlevania Whips on to Nintendo DS
Fresh screens for Konami's Aria of Sorrow follow-up.
Apart from first-person shooter Coded Arms, Konami's other big portable game coming out soon is a new Castlevania game for the Nintendo DS.
The title takes the Game Boy Advance series instalment Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow as its starting point, continuing the story and offering a better-looking experience with some new gameplay elements.
The second screen on the Nintendo DS is used to display a map of the labyrinthine castle as well as menus. The game will use the touch screen during certain boss battles, but action is largely limited to the standard direction pad and face buttons.
