Looks like the teaser for the new Nintendo Power issue was for a new Castlevania game for the 3DS subtitled ‘Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate’.  This confirms the rumor we heard recently, but part of the rumor mentioned a Wii U version of the game or a different Castlevania game altogether.  Konami’s pre-E3 presentation is this Friday, so if we don’t hear there, it could be next week at Nintendo’s E3 press conference.  Stay tuned for more info!

Update: Looks like there is a ‘Lords of Shadow 2’ game after all according to the article in Nintendo Power about Mirror of Fate:

“(Mirror of Fate has a) climax that will set up the events of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.”

We heard a rumor that this would be coming to all consoles including the Wii U.  We’ll know in a few short days.
