Rumortoid: Is a mysterious new Castlevania game in the works?

The above images were apparently posted by a member of the Castlevania team on the GameFAQs forums minutes before the thread mysteriously disappeared.

Hmmmm. If the screen grabs are real, they obviously prove there is a new Castlevania game on the Nintendo DS in he works. But could they be fake? My Belmont senses tell me maybe, but why, then, did the original thread disappear? Man, where is Angela Lansbury when you need her?

What do you think? Real? Fake? Don’t care? Keep in mind that I want to let the exciting prospect of another classic 2D Castlevania game sink in a little bit before any of you Matlocks call shenanigans, okay?
