One thing I noticed while playing the beta is the first miniboss.  While yes it is very different from the Hellhound in the final, what amazes me is that this would have been the very first appearance of the Behemoth.

Rondo predates Bloodlines, tho. And I think that is not intended to be a Behemoth. If you wait long enough, you'll see it howling just like the final Hellhound miniboss does (more of a "dog" thing than a "bull" thing).

Then again, "horns" are not a dog thing, so who knows. We can't tell what the hell that thing is supposed to be with certainty.

I hope someone will share a beta of Super Castlevania 4 as well.

Anyone remember when that developers build of ressurecton was up for sale online like 10 or 15 years ago?  That is something I would love to see.

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

You're also missing the fact that this bull also charges much like the Behemoth in Legacy of Darkness and PoR, something not done by the Hellhound.

I've not heard of this, when did THAT happen?! (besides the aforementioned 10/15 years part)

That was so long ago... I remember it going for a pretty high price.  We monitored it on an older build of the dungeon forums, no idea who ended up with it.  And of course it could have been a fake, but I seem to recall it being on a pretty legit online game store for the time.  Anyway, nothing ever leaked to the web.

That's a shame. I think it would have been interesting if someone or someones bought it, finalised it for playability then released it on the web. Heck with today's tech and knowledge they could even improve upon it.

Probably impossible by now, considering the state of affairs over at Konami.
UPON THE COMPLETION OF ITS STATEMENT, THE BLOOD MONKEY LEAPS TOWARDS YOU, BARING TEETH. IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU.

Nothing saying that someone can't create an entire sprite sheet of her Bloodletting counterpart. They just need to keep in mind that her outfit is German/European and not Japanese.

What a find!!! 

That opening demo is super basic, too.  While waiting for the draining water to fight the rock guy I learned it takes a moment for Eric to charge up his spear vault. 

I would also love to see the Super CastleVania IV beta & go
