Kiyuhito blogged on the Castlevania wiki that a character called "Kokoro Belmondo" (Heart Belmont?) would be available as downloadable content to the upcoming XBLA side-shooter parody/mascot game OtomediusX (Excellent!). It's a sequel to Otomedius, which basically takes female personifications of other Konami franchises and places them in a side shooter.

....HOW IS SHE A BELMONT.
WTF KONAMI
-
It's just one of those parody characters like Kid Dracula and Pumpkin. She looks more interesting then Gabriel though~
-
She's a little over the top for a Belmont however the person who came up with her obviously clued in to what some fans out there wanted to see whereas IGA still has yet to. :P

Who knows, it could be fun if they'd do such a thing. Imagine it being like that fan game that kinda looked all anime and CV-ish? I could imagine it being totally cutesy anime take on CV, where Dracula is either a bishounen guy who Kokoro secretly has the hots for, or is Lady Dracula, a sexy black-hearted vamp finding Kokoro as being an annoying brat that seems to foil her plans. I'm totally imagining something bright and pastel-colored! LOL! ;D But yeah, even if it had candy coating flavor that would rot your teeth your teeth in an instant, if the gameplay was good, I think I would give it a try. I mean, in some instances, look be damned. I've played and enjoyed my fair share of cutesy, cheery, kawaii-games, even though I had to gargle with Listerine after each play.
-
Garbage.
Also, whoever made that smart-alec quip about the "character" looking more interesting than Gabriel should probably just ditch Castlevania altogether and stick to playing freaking Touhou or something.
-
as far as bishoujo go, she's the least interesting of the bunch from that game to me. the other ones were really cute or a bit hot, but she's just, well, makes me feel sorry for her and seems a bit clutsy. maybe that's what they're going for? maybe if she didn't look like she was wearing diapers and a bib?
-
WHAT IS THIS I DONT EVEN
-
Can I have an actual Gradius instead? :(
Or Parodius?
-
I could see this character being in a Konami cross-over game like what they did on the Famicom. Konami world I think.

Why do you have to act like a whiny LoS fanboy every time? You could at least try not to be a total asshole.

She looks very much like the clumsy girl archetype from animes. The ones who managed to trip on flat ground and flash her underwear to everyone in a ten mile radius and somehow able to lose her underwear by walking pass a tree....
IMO, it's not really comical, just stupid. But that's just me, I hate characters like that.

Please delete. :9

She wears a diaper.

That's no diaper. It's a type of women's dressware that was popular throughout the middle-ages all the way up to the very early 20th century. I don't know the name of it but it's no diaper.

Ridiculing the legendary Vampire-hunting clan by having a character wear cat ears and a diaper; that just goes to show how much IGA loves the Belmonts.

I doubt Iga did the designs, besides its not like its meant to be serious.

Otomedius's team is fully capable of ruining everything on its own without outside influence.

I think she's cute :D

this game is my consolation if i end up needing to buy a x-box 360 to get Harmony of Despair. at least i could get two new things with Castlevania elements in them. i wonder if any of the Castlevania enemies will appear in this game or if there will be a Castlevania stage like in Sexy Parodius. as it takes place in the future, maybe we'll get to fight some of Galamoth's robot baddies?
-
Wasn't enough shame with Judgment?
Castlevania's name is becoming a bad joke...
-
Words cannot describe the amount of hatred I feel for that image nor can I describe the amount of utter and complete anguish of the fact she has the name Belmont tied to her.

Maybe she's just a child still in training. We can let our imaginations run wild if we picture her some 20 years later.

I agree, but sometimes I just try my best to ignore some of the stuff I see on here. It might be best to trays well...

I guess, but it kind of makes me feel ashamed to be a castlevania fan.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kokoro Belmont in an adult representation wielding a nasty-looking ball & chain Vampirekiller. Cause everybody has to grow up sometime. Maria obviously did.
-
It'd be an interesting concept. She could probably look more serious if she were to be taken in that direction (like all Belmonts).
Although its kinda nice to see a new female belmont character (even though she's just a parody character), people still tend to get butthurt over it and just bring up Sonia all over again. : /

Fuck all that, we need Wai Wai World 2012!

Where you play as Gabriel, Old Snake, some Otomedius chick, Pyramid Head, Bryce (the immortal guy in NeverDead), Bad-looking Dreamworks Sparkster (from the new Rocket Knight), and more in a modern assortment of Konami characters?
Sounds bizarrely hilarious.

Turning Kokoro Belmondo into a serious character would be like turning Kid Dracula into a DARK and GRIM anti-hero.

You mean Darker and Edgier (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkerAndEdgier)? :P

Yeah Kokoro with a Kojima esque makover would be neat. Kind of like the Touhou Castlevania game which did the same thing with it's characters.

Yes, making a more serious version of a parody of an already existing character really makes a lot of sense, newbie.
-
I dont think Kokoro is as sexy as characters like Shanoa or Yoko, or even Sonia Belmont. I'm disappointed in her ~_~

I don't understand how this character can be more popular than Angela.
I mean, at least Angela was in Castlevania.

Should have worded your post better then. You asked for it.

Because she's an homage character to the Castlevania series and the Belmonts. She IS a parody Belmont. Supposedly from some thousand years into the future or something.
Angela meanwhile, was a side character who did precious little except have a cool looking "dark" form
-

No, you were just wrong.

Well, like I said above, I don't think she's sexy, but she is pretty "cute," if ya know the difference. And while Angela is what I'd call sexy, I think 'cute' goes further with a Japanese audience at least these days. :o

I'm pretty sure, IIRC, that almost every character in the game has some sort of head set that looks like ears. It has nothing to do with ridiculing anyone.
Wasn't enough shame with Judgment?
Castlevania's name is becoming a bad joke...
This is a parody game and is intended to be a joke where as Judgement actually was... ummm... serious.
WTF is up with the sexy comments? Research the game before you open your pieholes! There are only like 2 or 3 characters in Otomedius that are at least 18. Most of the characters look cute and not sexy BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG GIRLS NOT OLDER THAN 16. And get over the hate already, WTF do you haters care if Konami puts a CV parody character in a parody game that you're not likely to ever play anyway? How does that affect in any way the CV franchise? It doesn't, foo!

Still couldnt resist. And the fact is, he STILL became a grim dark anti hero.

Well, technically we don't know if Kid Dracula is a parody of Alucard.

Good game --> popularity --> characters become popular too. Shitty game --> no popularity --> no one cares about the characters.
It's not an universal rule but pretty basic cause-and-effect logic nonetheless!

The game is geared towards people around the teen demographic, least the ones that loves shmups. And its not recommended for people who hate animu illustrations in general or parody games that doesn't take itself seriously. (which is like 80% of the people in this thread)

Also, what has this to do with IGA?

Many people here don't know the difference between cute and loli (least that's what i think)i. i guess you can blame their amaricanized minds (or whatever).
Though it can go with both, but cute does not always equal loli.

Well yeah, cultural differences blahblach etc. How about weeaboos? Think they know the difference between disturbing and what is just cute in Japanese pop culture? Sure, American / Western culture has sickening double standards, but some things are, IMO, alright to counter the effects of "japanization". Absolutely ridiculous plots in video games being one example. I can honestly say that MGS4 overloaded my tolerance when it comes to some of the aspects of the Japanese way of storytelling.
Point being that just cuz some people spend their days watching Sailor Moon or whatnot, they think they're qualified to call people ignorant for staying alert when it comes to childish characters. Especially when it comes from a country whose women do their darndest to appear childish to attract men :-\
Wasn't directed especially at anyone. And I don't consider that CV character loli. But I can kind of understand how someone might mistake it for one.

i don't know. the title of this thread obviously reads "kokoro belmondo", not "metal gear solid 4's story is crap". But it seems they're talking about the latter rather than the titled subject.
-
Kokoro Belmont. My personal feelings on the subject as to why many of us are so biased towards her is probably due to the fact that she is a unknown who suddenly popped up out of nowhere to represent a franchise in a parody shoot 'em up game. Maybe it would've been better if the CV series' representative was one of the Belmonts we already know and is vastly popular. Say Simon, Trevor or even Richter.

You know, it'd be easy to put Simon or Richter in the game if it wasn't an all female cast. Which is why they just created Kokoro to represent the castlevania series. The same could be said about the fuuma girl.

If they want that kind of artwork then they should just go back to the 90's where most games that had anime-ish artstyles were americanized.

ehe. i probably should've noticed that, but i could've sworn the ones complaining are the ones that are american. I should probably be a little more specific next time :P
And i liked the 90's too, but i'm not really bashing it. I meant to state that during that time, when video games were shipped from japan to the US, they did some alternate art to make the manual's artwork less anime-ish or less japanese and make them more mainly or american or whatever you want to call it. Maybe a good example would be Final Fantasy Legend's manual art.
-
You know, it'd be easy to put Simon or Richter in the game if it wasn't an all female cast. Which is why they just created Kokoro to represent the castlevania series. The same could be said about the fuuma girl.
Then the solution is simple: Sonia Belmont. She's not unknown and is recognized by many (myself included) as a popular Belmont. And I think she could fit the cuteness part if she were scaled down to a somewhat 'Chibi' look.
-
I'm not sure I'd call Sonia popular. More like people are interested in her because she was "erased" completely (and she is so far the only female Belmont even mentioned).
-
what 90's had mostly Americanized Anime Games? I remember the 90's having hand Drawn Stuff with loads of effort.
you must be talking about the 00's
-
That and the characters representing a series are completely made up for that game, so adding Sonia would look too awkward. And for the above mentioned.
Though as far as characters representing a series, it seems the fuuma girl and kokoro are the only ones who are representing other konami games cause i don't see any other girl representing any other series. Though maybe i'm wrong, aside from maybe one of them representing the vic viper.

There's a number of video games that were ported to the US that had animeish art in Japan but had different artwork when it was ported to the US. Look at Final Fantasy Legend to see what i mean. Btw, i meant artwork, not anime games in general. Though a good example of an anime game fully becoming americanized is one of the ranma games for the snes.

We did.
So those that are complaining about the character design of this game should just go back and marvel the artwork that was done in the 80's and late 90's for video games. And if this game were to have that kind of artwork, i'm sure they'd love it cause then all the characters in the game would look like 30-40 year olds with muscles and energy legs. And they'd take away the cute and replace it with tough and manly. That or artwork that'll only appeal to american girls and not its intended audience.

Uh, well..not really. Depends on the context. This is ok, because it's a parody, but I think most can agree that the animeish style of DoS and PoR could have used a big enema of The Western. And I personally consider the initial "barbarian" style of CV superior to some of Ayami Kojima's CV illustrations. It's not always a bad thing. Especially in a game series like CV it would be logical to assume the protagonists need to be buff and suited for combat, not to look like they're allergic to sunlight and all cloned from Alucard's DNA.
That's one of the (few) things I liked about LoS. Gabriel looks like someone who can rip and tear and he's suited accordingly.
-
Then the solution is simple: Sonia Belmont. She's not unknown and is recognized by many (myself included) as a popular Belmont. And I think she could fit the cuteness part if she were scaled down to a somewhat 'Chibi' look.
The character needs to fit the game's character style too. Kokoro fits the style.
Do remember this game also tales place in the future, and Kokoro is supposed to be a Belmont from the far future.

True. Not all of CV's artwork in the past weren't that bad or were better. I kinda liked the barbarian style than the style of some Belmonts have today. Though i kinda meant games other than castlevania that got that treatment.

Yep. And if Sonia was in the game, she'd be way out of place cause of the time period she came from and the fact she's not original.
this thread needs to die already
u mad bro?

TL;DR, people need to grow up and just drop it. Its a parody character in a light hearted game about cute girls and shit. Here's your shades, now deal with it.

nah it's just these arguments are pretty pointless...

there's not much arguing going on right now though :P
we're just talking about why people dislike kokoro and stuff. In which the reasons are still stupid.

Exactly. The game's not supposed to be serious or anything. Just a fun parody shmup konami decided to make one day.
-
So,...according to the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otomedius_Excellent), the release's been pushed back to September whenever.
...and, according to Konami's page for it (http://www.konami.com/otomedius/), the quips will be subtitled, rather than dubbed. If English ADR wasn't the holdup, I wonder what was...
OTOMEDIUS FOREVER?

OTOMEDIUS FOREVER?
As in when it does release it will be disappointing?
...What? That was the case with Duke Nukem Forever (fan reactions were mostly negative), right?
-
Well the game is a shmup so the only fans it'll have are people that are into that genre and ones that are into an all girls cast. And who knows if this game will be good or bad. Only ones that know are the ones who decided to import it.

I notice they are referencing Getsu Fuuma Den again. (hopes for Reboot with american release)
-

Nai; as in, I'll be waiting almost as long for the release.

But won't it just be a remake since Getsu Fuuma Den didn't have any other games aside from the one for the famicom? And the only time the character was used was as a PC cameo.

oh Getsu Fuuna Den characters have been used and cameo'd alot, but yeah, only one game. a remake would be a better word.
I mean look at all the reamkes on the PSP, they are all awesome!
-
They are. I'd wish they'd make a new getsu fuuma den game, but chances of that happening still seems low despite fuuma getting alot of modern day cameos, YuGiOh, Castlevania HD and Otomedius Excellent(least a decendant), just to name a few that showed in the US. Though it'd be nice for konami to shed some light into the source game he came from to us that don't live in japan so we don't have to be confused on why konami's always putting in some unknown red haired warrior into their games. Though in a sense, Fuuma is kinda like Marth. Both being in a japan only game and be featured in a game(s) that's are released world wide. Maybe if we show konami that we do care to see more about Fuuma's game, they'll give it to us (or a remake at least)

True, AND that Famicon game is better than 90% of the games like it back then AND today

The ROM has been fan translated into English. I played it, and except for some small graphical choices that I changed (most notably the symbols for the cardinal directions in the first person dungeons) it's a really god translation. The closest thing you can compare it to is the first TMNT game for NES (also a Konami game). Basically think TMNT with only Leonardo, an inventory, and way better controls and stage design. Baring a release on VC, I'd suggest you give it a try on emu, it's that good.
-
Hmm... Personally I don't really mind this character at all. The design looks alright for what it was intended for, and does add another to the female cast of the series (non cannon and parody only, but still). Though its actually the first time I've ever heard of this game ;D
Either way we all have a castlevania rep for that game. Probably won't ever play the game though, hahaha (side scrolling shooters haven't ever appealed to me in general).

Yea, i've played the fan translated rom too. And the game itself is pretty good. I just wish they'd release it on VC or remake it just so people who have no idea how to get emulators know what it is.

I thing JewWario has a perfect Review that shows it off and a small tutorial to boot.
You can Play this!

Like i said, i already played Getsu fuuma Den, and its a really great game. I just want konami to officially release it to the states so those oblivious to emulators and such can see it themselves. Sides, wouldn't it be awesome to have an official release?

I wanna see If I can find a place ( I know there are some out there) that Reprduces Translated Famicom games to a NES cartridge.
Virtual Console is good, but the original experience cannot be emulated.

I believe there is a site that does sell reproduction cartridges. Though i forgot what the site was. You can probably find it easily if you search in google.
