Some new details surrounding the ReBirth of Castlevania: The Adventure have surfaced, thanks to Tiny Cartridge.

Development tasks for this title went to M2, who also handled the previous ReBirth titles for Gradius and Contra. They are being led by longtime Castlevania Producer Koji "IGA" Igarashi, while musical chores are being handled by Dawn of Sorrow's Nobuhiko Matsufuji, Manabu Namiki of Basiscape, and M2's own Keisuke Koga and Jason "Chip-Tech" Nisperos.

As we've seen in the gameplay videos, jumping on and off stairs is out, though you do retain some control while in the air. For the purists, beating the game opens a "Classic" style in which Christopher Belmont moves like every other easily-thrown tank in his family.

To obtain such an option will require conquering six stages, two more than the original title. And you can choose how mercilessly you want to be beaten from three levels of difficulty.

That's all for now, but you know we'll be keeping our eyes on this one.
