Is this an actual commercial? The stages seem to be incomplete, and that last line, "you can count on spellbinding sales" make it seem more like some kind of business proposal. How often do you see video game ads where they show the game in somewhat early stages of development, and promise you that it will sell well?

Also, the music isn't complete and there's a stage select feature.

So, at first, did Konami wanted to simply call it "Castlevania IV"?

While we are on subject, does anyone have any other videos of Castlevania games that where in Alpha form and changed drastically when Beta hit? I recall seeing that Alpha Version of Bloodlines and some screenshots on Ebay a while ago..

Bloodlines as far as I know might have been the only other CV game to be presented early on.

I suppose you could say the cancelled 32x and Dreamcast games changed after they were first presented to the media.
