Ready for another dose of classic Castlevania? Harmony of Dissonance arrives on the Shop along with some smaller releases and sale titles this week.
Not a ton of big names to toss about this week as to arrivals on the eShop for either the Wii U or the 3DS. What we do have though is a classic portable Castlevania in Harmony of Dissonance. One of the only latter Castlevania titles (front he original series, not Lords of Shadow) that actually put you in the shoes of a Belmont once again if I recall correctly.
Also worth mentioning is 50% off the price of Trine 2, which is a very solid title, and a sale on various Atlus properties on the 3DS- also worth a look if you’re a fan of the publisher and you’ve skipped over a few of their latest releases.
