Castlevania – Mirror of Fate producer on 3DS exclusivity
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate is a 3DS exclusive. Perhaps that could change in the future, but this is where things stand at the moment.
Producer David Cox opened up on the decision to make Mirror of Fate while speaking with Pocket Gamer. It all came down to the 3DS’ implementation of 3D:
“The Vita could have run the game no problem, and we did seriously consider it as a [target] platform. But when we saw the game on 3DS and how it looked with the 3D, it made us realise we could never replicate that on another system.”
“I’m not knocking the Vita, but if we were to develop a game on that console, we would really focus on the Vita’s core strengths. The Vita game would be very different from a version for 3DS.”
Activision hopes Skylanders IP will have 10 to 20 year run

We’re in year three of Activision’s Skylanders franchise. The publisher has released two different entries since 2011, starting with Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. Swap Force, the latest title, is due out later this year.
There’s no question that Skylanders has been a mammoth money-maker for Activision. So it should come as no surprise that the company hopes to see its series last for 10 to 20 years.
Vice President of Skylanders business Joshua Taub told Joystiq:
“We have goals of making this a 10 to 20 year franchise that becomes a staple for kids.”
