God I love that game

I assume his design is based off of Gaibon?

Nah. He was designed by whoever the hell owned TMNT at the time, not Konami.

I think Wingnut was introduced in one of the comics in the late 80s/early 90s.

[Inccubus]

Yeah. Something like that. That was my point really. Not a Konami design.

So yeah, delaying a game is a really good way to keep hype going.

Sure, since they dont delay it like Duke Nukem Forever...
Also its better delay a game and have all content planned, than rush to launch the game and remove content that they dont finished in time.

Also a really good way to polish your product further and squash bugs.

I looks like Simon will also use the Combat Cross at some point during the game. Reminiscent of the old games of how he always started with a leather whip and then acquired chain upgrades.

nah, its confirmed that simon has the "vampire killer" while Trevor has the combat cross.

The vampire killer in this game is most likely a magical whip made of alchemy like in the old canon and thus it can probably change form.

My guess is it is a upgrade that you find later in the game that lets you powerup your leather whip to the chain one.

It shouldn't be called the combat cross because its uses a chain.

Its still the vampire killer.

Actually...you're probably right. The chain looks too short on Simon's whip to be a Combat Cross....

[Gaawa-chan]

Simon's chain whip... looks like he gets it from a statue as some sort of upgrade:

I wonder how Trevor's Combat Cross got there?

Hmmmm....

[crisis]

He discards it after he becomes Alucard o.o;

[Chernabogue]

Maybe. Alucard uses a sword, he could give the CC to Simon.

I thought Gabriels combat cross had already come to be known as "Vampire killer"

It was nicknamed "Vampire Killer" indeed, but he destroyed it after the TFO fight.
