Yes. You read that title right. Konami's going to delay Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and release it on February of next year. Now before you quote Dracula's immortal (teehee) lines and say "What is a man Konami? A miserable little pile of secrets delays!," please reconsider. They're not pushing the release date back without any substantial reason.

A spokesperson for Konami Europe says that we're not going to see Portrait of Ruin this year so that the developers can buy some time to add more features. Yep. They're going to beef up their game and some of the features they plan to append would focus on its online connectivity. They're planning to whip out (sorry for the pun) an online mode to trade spells, an online shop that sells spells, and a two-player co-op via WiFi to battle enemy bosses.

We're not sure of the other features they might implement, but given the features mentioned above, we're willing to wait. Go, Konami! At the rate they're going, Dawn of Sorrow fans have a lot to look forward to in this sequel.

# load of crap — Guest 2006-10-25 20:08

these were already supposed to be in the game and they should have already been working on them. last time it was touch screen crap, this time its wifi crap and causing a delay as well. The pre-order news made me really happy but this has killed it for me.

With Metal Gear and GTA, it looks like PSP is the handheld to beat this Christmas, but it's not like DS ever had a chance anyway.

DS has way more good titles than the psp. The numbers show it too.

This sure does go against all the other more reputable websites. I think everyone should still expect to see this game in december.
