It's NES. So cutscenes and stuff weren't that good. If they do a reboot, it'll be explained in a better way.

Inccubus if you need a reference to the true CV3 scene between Alucard and Trevor then download the Akumajou Dnesetsu rom translation hack. I have this rom if you're interested.

The real mystery is this. How did Richter change his outfit and grow out his hair that fast? Was the staircase to Dracula so long his hair grew past his shoulders?

I have another question. Does the castle have bathrooms? Or do the Belmonts take a dump out in the woods?
I know that vampires don't have to eat in order to survive, but how come there's so much food stored in the castle? And if Dracula doesn't have to eat regular food, that doesn't necessary mean he can't eat it right? Besides garlic, I don't think that food can harm vampires.

I think it would be cool to show the bathrooms in a future game, it would add more realism to the series.

Well keep in mind that we never really get a chance to explore the FULL castle in any game. There are several instances that you see long, winding hallways in the background that the player never has access to (such as those huge stairwells in the Long Library in Symphony). There are many more inaccessable rooms than what we're lead to believe.......

I have it too. That is a good reference, but I go really hardcore with this sort of thing and prefer to get my hands on the original text and have someone translate it exactly or try to translate it myself.

Isnt symphonly 5 years after Rondo? It just grew out, and he changed his clothes.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

If you could get the original japanese retranslated --that would be awesome.

SotN is five years after yes. However, the opening is the end of RoB and you are playing with Rondo Richter.

He still wore the same clothes and has the same haircut as he was in RoB, as shown in his sprite.

It's just the portrait artwork of Richter that was wrong.

Trevor had beaten Alucard in battle so he was no longer a threat to him he had proven to be stronger
than Alucard.

The librarian knows Alucard because Alucard had grown up in the castle with his father,
he is familiar with the inhabitants of Castlevania in the same way a real life prince would be
with his subjects.

Dracula can control ancient gods because he has achieved a high level of expertise in
dark magic.  Maybe he even read the "Simon Necronomicon" grimoire.

Nothing scares me, I'm a smart guy and I'll tell you one thing for certain: fear is irrational. Being the know-it-all I am, mocking foolish fears is an amusing pastime for me.  In fact there is no doubt in my mind that living in the modern world, free of all danger and uncertainty, I'll ever have to face my own death, which is after all the most basic and silly of all fears...
