Well, I played the first game but did not like it too much, it was a good action game but the phasing was odd and I like Metroidvania games more. I was hopeful for the 3DS game but after looking at the reviews I saw that the style had changed and was not coming back (I miss you Metroidvania), so I was not hyped for this sequel at all, it did not make my purchase list for the month, not even in the "maybe" category, and after reading and watching the reviews is not even in my purchase list at all.

Castlevania games were never huge seller, but the DS games sold good numbers and were cheap to make, the new approach to "broad the audience" picked up the interest for the first game but left many disappointed and this sequel is paying the consequences.
