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.

LOL, Often the self parody of Konami. It is not unusual, range of the expectation.

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

...I kind of want her to get her own game.

Just because of how retarded it would probably be.

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?
