Topic: The Belmonts are coming to Smash Bros!

Does anyone know if the bosses actually do stuff or do they just add visuals? I know Dracula does but wasn't sure about the others.

Does anyone know when the new Amiibos will be up for sale on Amazon?

I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine it'll be like stage hazards on other levels. So something like random Wolfman falls onto the map, does a few swipes and dashes off screen, and the players just have to dodge him while doing their regular fighting. Death probably does the ol' baby scythe spam that have to be avoided. That's my guess anyway.

Omg Castlevania amiibos!  I havent looked into if smash is making new amiibs (yet), but the idea has got my attention.

Simon kinda reminded me of a He Man action figure moving around in the game.  So glad to see Luigi’s vacuum cleaner in the forefront  too.

My understanding is Dark Samus and Simon Belmont are being released.

Who knows  but in good time eventually. Imagine a battle royal of sorts between the cv bosses and your friends. It would be like the yellow devil but super charged. But something triggers Dracula, so maybe there are certain requirements to trigger them.

I am still absolutely floored by today. Castlevania got way more love than I expected for it, Sakurai rolled out the whole red carpet for the series.

Simon, Richter, Alucard assist, Dracula's Castle stage with unique bosses, 34 music tracks, and Death's scythe for an item...

I can see this getting a lot of people not familiar with Castlevania into the series, and I hope Konami plans to capitalize on this golden opportunity. Sakurai used the same method for Fire Emblem in Melee, and it paid off tremendously. This franchise is definitely on it's way toward a revival.

Just alittle effort can go a long way. Market and present Castlevania right and people are going to notice. Sakurai I think is an exception I think, he can look at any series and just understand what makes that series relevant and make it have sense in a way where it is like something no one has ever seen before. Fe and cv I think from a certain point of view have similarities. like being a hardcore series that while people loved, they were kind of a cult status kind of series, then awaking happen and has been shot Fe into the  mainstream light. CV has not had that since the mid 90's perhaps.

Also I have been hearing a theory lately that the characters that have been chosen are possibly the top characters that were on the smash ballot. I wonder how possibly true that can be. Any opinions on that anyone? I know I submitted my vote to Simon so maybe there is a correlation?

Has some of the Bloody Tears / Monster Dance track. I dig it.

The thing that's been largely overlooked, except by OSM, is that the ENTIRE LIST of E3 "rumors/leaks" noted on this board have come true now--even this one about Simon that some said was far-fetetched--except for the new Castlevania game project. So, if Ridley and Ice Climbers and Simon were real, and the Resident Evil 2 Remake for PS4 was real...I think we may be looking at least at a teaser of a new Castlevania game (or a collection) by the time E3 2019 rolls around.*

*I'm having trouble remembering if the "collection" in the rumors was just Hyper Sports R or not. But there was definitely a second "game" mentioned by Gamekult and at least one other source that seemed to strongly suggest a new Castlevania game. One "leaker," went so far as to note it was to counter Bloodstained's rise, as I recall. And given Konami's statements about Switch during Bomberman R, and all this Smash Bros action, it could be that Switch will be the test system for the revival.

Holy frook!

[The Puritan]

I have none of the current gen systems, but it's always been my rule that where Castlevania goes I follow. This just might sway my decision.

Also, can you guys imagine if they'd revealed Trevor instead of Simon and it was the Netflix version?

TREVOR BELMONT
****S IN YOUR DINNER

Tangentially related, I found it funny that Yasushi Asada did a Metroid track.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I would love to see a Smash trailer with Simon and Richter fighting Dracula and Ganondorf together, and when all seems lost... LINK joins the fray.

That Monster Dance cover would pair exceptionally well with a ton of musical selections from LoZ, and it's not like Link doesn't already have a ton of experience fighting very similar foes to Dracula.

Come on Nintendo. You gave me dreams. Make them happen pleeeeease.

[VladCT]

No wonder they relegated Alucard to just a trophy, Crissaegrim too OP lol

[Shiroi Koumori]

That Trailer!!! AHHHHHH
34 music tracks from the series! Oh yeah!

[Kamirine]

So much love for Castlevania in Smash I felt spoiled! Now with that new mode, I can finally make my Captain N team!  So excited! 

Does this mean the rest of the rumor was real too?  Where there was a new game and a collection coming to Switch?
