I liked Fusion. ;____;
It was weaker than Super Metroid, but most things are.

Being Belmont'd at the time? He does tend to come and go from the earthly plane of existence rather often.

That was supposed to be the time before he met another belmont.

He did not meet another belmont after Leon until Trevor which Leon was way before the wife thing and Trevor was after.

So that does bring up a interesting question on where the hell he was at during this.

Unless he was put "out of commission" by some other vampire hunter (which I kinda doubt).

it was said that Alucard was there, although possibly a little boy at the time.

He was assumed to be laying low or in hiding at that time.

Yea I remember that, but I still don't see that as a reason to let your beloved and mother of your child get murdered by a mob of people given his power.

He must have been busy somewhere else, perhaps in another country, before he noticed that tragedy.

Or we can just say, IGA's oversight, going after dramatic effect > accuracy/logic. hehehe.

Whatever happens with the new IGA game, we won't have any Belmont and certainely no Dracula. I hope he can come up with a great new idea.

I understand the belmont part, but why certainly no Dracula?

Care to explain?

Well I assume by then he had gained some loyal minions, if that was the case he could have easily sent them to the town to take care of the villagers who where trying to murder her even if it where during the day.

While Dracula isn't "copyrighted" like the Belmonts, I'm not sure Konami would let him make a game with a [protagonist] killing ennemies in a castle with Dracula.

My statement isn't based on anything legal/other, but if IGA's not silly, he should know he has to come with something different.

There would be nothing Konami could do since there are plenty of games and movies that have other people taking on Dracula.

And I fail to see how it would be silly of IGA.

It might be more comfortably and right up his ally to have Dracula still as the big bad.

Inafune is still using the whole "robots/androids theme" in Mighty no 9 which is obviously akin to the repload and robots thing from the original mega man series and nobody is calling him silly for it.

If it was during the day, how would he know? It doesn't take long to grab someone throw them to a stake and set them on fire, and I doubt he had Slogra and Gaibon living at her house as her personal bodyguards.

Maybe his minions were with him due to his assumption that the village his wife and son were residing won't harm them.
Besides, I don't think at that time Drac is powerful enough to gather a troop of willing humans.

He can still make Drac the big bad, but the game takes place outside a castle.
Or you know, he can fill in the hole between LoI and CV3. Vampire hunters killing random evil things (led by Drac) but without the whip, since he doesn't like the whips much.

I figured he would have had someone watching over her and his son, after all it was shown that he cared for both of them a great deal back then.

Since he knows he is powerless to do anything to protect them during the day I just guessed that he might have had one of his minions keeping a eye on them.

Dracula/Mathias at the end of Lament of Innnocence should have been as powerful as Walter, so I don't think "powerful enough" really fits into the equation here since by then he may have even gathered even more powerful souls given that this isn't to far before CV3.

And regarding the minions part, read above to see my reply towards Viskod.

Then we can just safely assume that his minions are idiots.
