Castlevania Extra Characters *Confirmed*

IoriYagami n8 · 08-10-2005, 02:46 AM

I've been getting excited about these games and digging around for info and I ran across doublejumpbooks, which is apparently given rights to make the offical strategy guide for the DS title. They did Makai Kingdom and such I believe. On the boards there someone asked if the same character from Aria of Sorrow would once again be the extra playable character in Dawn of Sorrow. Suprised in the reply it was stated that he will infact return as the extra character, but this time he is bringing some friends. Perhaps a few of the other characters have been made playable? That would certainly be great, Yoko or Genya "Arikardo". The only thing left is to give the extra characters their own little sidequest stories, as opposed to simply running through the game with them.

I also found screen over at RPGamer I think it was, Soma is using a joker card (an enemy soul ability) and the figure on the card is Alucard's SotN sprite. Just a little fun for reference.

In the PS2 Castlevania trailer I noticed the main character was fighting someone using a whip, upon further investigation I have reason to suspect (timeline wise) that Trevor Belmont will appear in the game, and likely be the extra character for the PS2 title. From the trailer, he plays exactly like Leon. I certainly hope they don't have some lame ass Dracula lacky beat Trevor Belmont, slayer of Dracula himself. That would make me very sad. Hopefully Trevor just beats up on him a good bit before moving on.

That sounds pretty cool. Alucard needs to come back.

Alucard · 08-10-2005, 04:56 AM

Bring it out already!!

IoriYagami n8 · 08-10-2005, 04:58 AM

It releases in Japan by the end of the month, and in the US about a month later I believe. So close...

Castlevania without Simon is like Super Mario without Mario.

IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE!!

Alucard · 08-10-2005, 07:44 AM

You mean Castlevania without Alucard is unacceptable!

Nindalf · 08-10-2005, 07:52 AM

Alucard is not even worthy of Simon's sloppy seconds.

Mistatee · 08-10-2005, 11:13 AM

Alucard is damn beast, though wasnt he like half male, half female?
I guess Alucard is really only sweet becuase SOTN is the best castlevania game, EVER

LordDeimos · 08-10-2005, 03:37 PM

Alucard is the best character I've seen...I know there are alot of ppl that are on FFVII's nutz...and on Clouds and Sephiroths nutz too....but in all truth...vampires are the best...from all the powers you get, to just knowing the power you have....Omnislash<<<<<Crissagrim

Finished Castlevania: LoI today,it felt like more of a beat-em-up/dungeon crawler than a Castlevania game, nice battle system though. Nothing compaired to SotN.

Hope Curse of Darkness delivers.

But technically, aren't we all? Aside from girls, I mean.

As for everyone being all about Alucard, I'm a Richter fan myself. I actually enjoyed going through his section of Symphony of the Night more, and Dracula X: Rondo of Blood is one hell of a classic styled Castlevania.

Alucard sucks and the reason why there are gay looking character in the castlevania games. Super castlevania is the best ever,SON is wayyyyyyyyy overrated.

he is in Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow, but not playable just one of the characters, but he hides who he really is

the only reason you know its him is that one of the other characters called him Alucard.... I mean Arikardo

and Super Castlevania Rules! I loved that one, but almost all the castlevania games have been good so far

but SOTN is what got me back into Castlevania, cause of its story, so damn awesome

I want a collection set with all of them on one disc up to the N64 games

He also uses his soul steal spell within the first few minutes trying to protect Soma in Aria of Sorrow. He will clearly be in Dawn of Sorrow, as will the other characters (they are all on the cover after all), the question is if he will be one of the people aside from Juste, assuming this writer for the strategy guide wasn't just screwing with everyone by saying that Juste will have company coming with him. Though it could be taken a few different ways, extra playable characters seems to be the most likely.
