Agreed. Simon is blond.

The soundtrack cover shows off red haired Simon, so I guess we'll see one of Getsu...who's also a redhead.

Here's some gameplay...which looks a lot like Castlevania.


Music sounds very reminiscent of Legend of Kage.

Agreed
it was amusing the first time but here it just feels cheap, I was hoping for a much better playable Simon than a clashing 8bit version.

Nostalgia is one thing but this is ridiculous in my opinion.

They really should have used a updated Sprite for Simon and maybe released the 8 bit version MUCH later to add the nostalgia feel in after you have already enjoyed playing as Simon.

Also

I'm still wondering when they are finally going to reveal Trevor Belmont.

Why would they? They already have an 8 bit Simon! *trollface.jpg*
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

If they are going to add Trevor, I bet they'll include the 8 bit version too.

NO KONAMI, NO. THAT IS NOT SIMON BELMONT.

Simon Belmont wasn't Simon Belmont anymore since Simon's Quest. I see no reason to complain about his third redesign from 10 + years later.



THAT IS NOT SIMON BELMONT KONAMI. STOP LYING TO ME.

Yeah, Kojima really fucked up with Simon. Red hair, a furry bandoleer, and......shorts!? Wtf? And what happened to his other sleeve?

People are always quick to point out "red hair" as being the first in a line of problems with Kojima's Simon. I personally believe the red hair was not the problem at all. His costume is the problem. Had he kept his red hair and wore similar leather armor to the original art, I doubt people would be whining.
