Damn... looks like there is a ton of Castlevania content in the game too.  This is incredible.  I think we owe this to the popularity of the netflix series, probably to a lesser extent Bloodstained too, can you imagine if Miriam is ever added later? :o  Castlevania is coming alive again.  ;D

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

Good lord, Nintendo really is going all-out with this Smash Bros. I still doubt this is the start of Konami's redemption arc though.

It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Like I said, I still doubt it. More likely than not this was all on Nintendo themselves. They want all the starving old-school gamers, and I'd say it's working for the most part.

The same guy who leaked Simon said a new game and collection are also in the works, so it's looking very likely Castlevania is being revived!

Why does the shitty-ass smash community get nice things like this but we don't? Oh well, hopefully it means new games for the rest of us. I hate to say it but these additions to the game look cool as hell.

So we now have Metroid and Castlevania officially crossing over. Oh dear. I love how they realized the music is such a draw you can play the soundtrack on the go. In the words of Sakurai:

I was hyped for Simon Belmont after all the rumors of leaks, but Richter too! Awesome. Guess I gotta buy a Switch! Also they said there was going to be a load of remixed Castlevania songs in the game because their music team are big fans. Will be some good stuff, no doubt!

This reveal was a way hype! I've been using the gamefaq boards for smash and most people are more excited for K Rool, but I know you guys are more into the incredible CV content.
- Simon and Richter
- I believe this is the first time seeing classic Simon in full 3D?
- Appearances from classic bosses. Are they all stage bosses like Dracula?
- Alucard assist trophy
- 34 songs
- An incredible looking stage
- Death's scythe as an item

The only things that shocked me were no daggers (I'm fine either way, but I just thought they'd have them) and full on calling the moves crosses and holy water.

But DAMN!!!

This is more exciting to me than the Netflix series. Castlevania and Smash are two of my all-time favorite series in gaming! The amount of content being added is quite astounding considering what other 3rd party series have received.

Man this blew my mind, I have to get this NOW. And I see that the combat cross is here to stay.

And did anyone else notice that Richter is doing the same pose he did in art work for Rondo of blood.





It seem that Konami, have seen that if they want to be seen as a decent up standing company again. They gotta put the effort in.

It's odd how they're retconning the combat cross design into the regular canon. That pachinko game starring Richter did it too but I thought that was just Konami recycling assets.
