By me:
IGN is going to annouce the konami game today and they will have screens and videos.

I didn't know there has been a 3D Castlevania... On what platform was it?

And I hope it turns out to be nothing like that game. |
Castlevania 64 (pretty banal) and Legacy of Darkness (severely underrated) are very different takes on the same basic elements. If you haven't given the latter a try, I'd suggest you go back and give it a whirl before condeming it out of hand. Some of the more impressive features, include:
*Multiple characters (some of which, nach, need to be unlocked as you go--not very exciting today, but back in the late 90s, it was still novel).
*Separate storylines for *each* character that feature entirely different routes and gameplay elements from one to another.
*A tremendous number of different endings based on performance per each character.
*A collection of impressive boss battles.
*For a cartridge-based system during the ascendency of CD-ROM, the music is actually shockingly good in places and, overall, excellent in general.
Graphically it's nothing to write home about and the over-arching gameplay (essentially Tomb Raider w/ a whip, gun, claw or sword, depending on the character) takes a small investment of time to come to grips with, but it truly is the best 3D CV game to date (in an admittedly barren field) and anyone that hasn't played it should probably stop short of writing it off based on any experience they had with Castlevania 64.

Actually, I heard that LoI and CoD were the best 3D games in the series, not great but not bad either
If this is 2D, I'm so there. Symphony of the Night was one of the best games I have ever played - pity about the last DS Castlevania though, the previous one was heaps better :P
