Going through the internal filenames of the music tracks, apparently the new remixes aren't all based on the respective track's original version. Cross Your Heart, for example, is based on the version from The Arcade, going by its "ac" prefix.

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.

Too bad those music links are down. Oh well, the game comes out next week.

Edit: I was able to listen to some. Some original arrangements I like more but some of the remix versions were great.

Tracking down the raw rips themselves isn't that hard, and all you need to play the files is foobar2000 with the latest version of the vgmstream plugin.

Anyone play as the Belmonts yet? Their jump kinda sucks but they're fun.

So I was playing the Adventure mode and I wound up fighting Princess Zelda, using the vaporized murdered soul of Charlotte Aulin as an assist weapon, with the desert music from PoR playing in the background, and the level had a castle built on a bridge in the sunset for a background.

I was confused. I'm not sure if that stage was meant to represent a Zelda castle or a Dracula castle.

I played through classic mode as Simon and each stage plays CV tunes culminating in a final battle against Dracula himself! The boss fight was basically pulled straight out of rondo of blood. Very awesome.

The CV references throughout the game are awesome. They really show they care and love the series.

(SPOILERS but not really)

Later on in Adventure mode, there's a battle that "mirrors" CV3 with Sheik as Grant, Palutena as Sypha, Simon as Trevor, and the Alcuard assist trophy making an appearance.

Also interesting, the Dracula spirit evolves in Soma.

There's so many great details. I love the mist effect on Dracula's body when your attacks miss his head. Definitely adds more visual flair than your attacks simply doing nothing like in traditional CV games. Near the end of the fight I was saying aloud "Come on, be a phase 2" and there was, and I was delighted to see the ol' Rondo Dracula Transformation. The entire Castlevania stage in World of Light is pretty awesome, too.

I also really enjoy that when Simon gets knocked down he faceplants with his ass in the air, like his classic goofy death pose.

I still want to know whose castle that was.

It's probably supposed to be mimicking the Portrait of Ruin box art.

I haven't seen this faceplant animation. How does it trigger?

Also, has someone IDed all of the alt color costume references? I feel like there's more there then people are picking up on.
