This sounds like the first of many more 'not-welcomed' issues to come (not counting the contents of the trailer we saw). And I have no doubt that they'll have one of the female characters kill Dracula simply because 'reasons', and Richter will be tossed aside simply because 'reasons'. I'm calling it now.

Bets anyone?

Tbh, I don’t think they are even doing an adaption of the Rondo as a story, like at all.  Just using the characters (and music) from the game. Elizabeth Bartley seems to be the main villain of the season instead of Dracula in any case, so he may not even show up at all for anyone to be able to defeat.

The initial modes looked like whatever, but Dominique’s Curse actually looks like a completely different and interesting mode that makes reference to Simon’s Quest.. “I’m interested in this..”

Huh.  Those watches aren't completely terrible, and if they weren't $187 I might actually buy one.  Nice job catching this announcement though...thanks for the info!

I'm sure at the very least Richter will be the glue who holds everyone else together.

Ah, another video with some video commentary from the directors and other production members.  I like how they flesh out Drolta in this show.  I could almost imagine this series being the background for the events of Bloodlines.  Guess the female guise of Death in the previous series isn't Drolta after all, unless this Drolta is also Death.

All and all, I'd like to thank these creators and the creators of all Castlevania media for bringing us these works of art rather than nitpick the disappointments (which still do sting a bit) and am happy to see their visions come to life.

Sigh, Maria calling Richter an ungrateful wanker.

Iga and friend gave an update on Bloodstained.  Some features delayed, but I'm intrigued by the second classic mode they previewed in particular.

We've got some Castlevania merchandise coming from Super Groupies in the form of watches, jackets, and wallets.  I hope there's a way to make the watches chime 13 times haha.

Got another trailer.  The show is almost here, woot.  Nice to hear a recognizable tune too.

Sigh, Maria calling Richter an ungrateful wanker.  I won't let that get me down though and just enjoy the new world they've created.  I guess peppy Maria just doesn't fit here.

Aww yeah, Richter tossing a dozen daggers into a vampire.  Maybe not as vigorous as a 1,000 Blades, but I still feel that. 

Oh, and there's also a new poster out of Richter and Maria.  You'd almost forget the other three "damsels" are now warriors in their own right (wonder what it'd be like to play a game as one of them).  Having the core four from Dracula's Curse was simply too much for the first series, but now they don't have a problem with five (unless I miscounted).  Hope they're well developed at any rate.
