    So during Chapter 3 level 1, right after you meet the fairies, there's a dead knight with a scroll on him that literally says "...I can happily declare that the 'Cake' is not a lie!"  WTF Castlevania...WTF.

    I was beginning to wonder if I was the only person who noticed that.  
     
    I don't see any problem with it though, because it is such a ridiculous time/place for a reference.

    That isn't the only Portal reference in this game. 
    Hell, it's not even the only blatant reference to other games in it as well.

    It felt kind of unnecessary and forced to me. I appreciated the other reference to Portal a lot more because it was a bit more subtle.
     
    But it was an excellent game regardless.

    Yea, it was a lame reference.
     
    The absolute best reference I've seen in any game was Borat in Singularity.

    I think this falls into the category of not far away enough to be nostalgic but not close enough to be relevant. Kind of like most Capcom products.

    I guess they realized right before their deadline that they needed anolther Portal reference and came up with this one after five seconds of brainstorming.

    In the Necromancer's Abyss level near the end of the game, you find a brotherhood knight scroll that says "I am trapped on this floating rock. This land is one huge, insane puzzle with hundreds of mirrors that can transport you anywhere; such is the so-called 'Aperture Magic' from the Necromancers..."

    This made me grin because I didn't get the joke for a few seconds. Probably the best Portal reference I've ever seen.

    "The cake is a lie" isn't really that funny to begin with, so I wouldn't hold it against anyone if they can't pull off a good "cake" reference. It'd take a lot to make it funny.

    Listen, once I realized the cake has been a lie since Super Mario 64, I've been done with it.

    So, can we safely assume that Castlevania and Portal exist in the same universe?

    Fair enough then. I completely agree with you about the portal "cake" reference not being nostalgic or relevant but I cant really think what Capcom products you are referencing though?
