Castevania: Mirror of Fate Confirmed for 3DS

The latest issue of Nintendo Power is out, and some subscribers have already started to receive this month's edition. So what's on the cover? None other than that rumored Castlevania game for 3DS the internet has been buzzing about.

The game is called Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. Try saying 10 times fast. The magazine reveals that Mirror of Fate's Belmont of choice will be Trevor Belmont. He will fight using his version of the Combat Cross, Gabriel's weapon from the original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

Mirror of Fate exists!

Other small details unveiled by the magazine (thanks to GoNintendo for the above scan) include the fact that light and shadow magic will be returning from the original Lords of Shadow. Using the L, R and face buttons, players will be able to attack with various weapons, grab enemies, block and dodge. Earning experience points will unlock the ability to execute combo moves, like launching enemies into the air, smashing them into the ground and so on.

For all your Belmont needs, keep it locked on IGN.

Fruit Ninja Adds Characters, Power-Ups & More

Who knew slicing fruit would have so much staying power? Tiny Australian studio Halfbrick first released Fruit Ninja to the App Store way back on April 20, 2010. Since then the game has received over a half-dozen major updates and has been ported to Android, Windows Phone and Xbox 360 Kinect. Thanks to its flagship fruit slicer (and new mega-hit Jetpack Joyride) Halfbrick is no longer such a tiny studio.

Halfbrick has a variety of tricks up its sleeve to celebrate the game’s two-year anniversary. Most notably, players can grab the title 100%-free just by visiting Halfbrick’s special anniversary website. The company has also announced that Fruit Ninja’s biggest update yet is due out this Thursday. Gamers can already get a sneak peek at the game's new merchants Gutsu and Truffles:

From Gutsu’s new cart of goodies players will be able to purchase three new power-ups: Berry Blast, Peachy Time and Bomb Deflects. All three boosts are purchased with Fruit Ninja’s new Starfruit currency, earned at the end of each gameplay session.

Keep it locked to IGN.com for more on Fruit Ninja’s updates, as well as the continuing adventures of the fat merchant and his pig.
