Even though the game doesn't come out until September/October for the rest of the world, apparently now the Japanese got their hands on it already (that's odd, the first time in a long time the North Americans are getting a Castlevania game last...) and they have revealed a nice tidbit... (the game is a direct sequel to Aria of Sorrow).

FOUR PLAYABLE CHARACTERS.

- Soma (Wow... really?)

- Julius (Who would have thought... )

Here come the good ones now...

- Yoko (Yay, a Belnades!)

- ALUCARD, that's right, Arikado finally takes off his disguise and reveals himself. Apparently he plays just like his SotN counterpart, and has the same sprite too.

Here's the best part too, apparently Julius, Yoko, and Alucard have their own mode where you can switch anytime between the three characters... just like in Castlevania 3 (minus Grant )!

They all seemed to have level up meters... perhaps there's some big twist in the story where they all come out to save Soma's ass?

...DS emulation needs to come RIGHT NOW.

Seriously, that sounds great ESPECIALLY if all four characters can be levelled... one thing I've hated about the bonus modes in CV games is that there's not that much depth to them. Levelling them + possibly giving them weapons/armor... yes.

Well you probably only level the entire three as the same unit... equipment is doubtful though.

Funking win.

I have been waiting for this for a very long time, now with this new info ... I'm dying to get it.

* Richter is a secret unlockable character --- Joke.

But yeah, this game will probably be great. Better than SoTN? Douptful, but if it follows all of the GBA games roots, I'm sure it'll be A quality.

It was also confirmed that the castle is larger than SotN's.

Also it seems that on the first playthrough, ten hours is expected.

I'm glad I've kept my DS around.
