That's right folks, Castlevania is coming to Smash Bros! Nintendo revealed it in yesterday's Smash Bros Nintendo Direct.
Simon Belmont from Castlevania is playable, as is Richter Belmont from Rondo of Blood. Richter is what they're calling an "Echo Fighter" - basically a clone, just being up front about it. Not only that, but Dracula's Castle is a playable stage, with various Castlevania bosses appearing as stage hazards, including Dracula. Alucard appears in the game as an assist trophy. The game is loaded with no fewer than 34 music tracks from Castlevania, both classic tracks and new arrangements exclusive to Smash Bros.
Some other details about the game:
All past fighters are in the game. ALL of them. Everyone from Pichu to the Ice Climbers to Wolf O'Donnell to Solid Snake to Ryu to Bayonetta. Other new fighters revealed so far are Inkling Boy/Girl from Splatoon, Ridley from Metroid, and King K. Rool from Donkey Kong Country. New "echo fighters" so far are Princess Daisy (echoes Princess Peach), Chrom from Fire Emblem (echoes Roy), and Dark Samus from Metroid (echoes Samus). Including echo fighters, that makes 73 playable characters in the game.
They're bringing back a ton of stages, and introducing new ones. Total stage count is 103. Stages from Melee/Brawl receive an HD facelift, but stages from the N64 original have their original appearance preserved.
The game is packed with with music: over 800 tracks. The game can be used to play playlists of the music, even when the Switch is in sleep mode.
Game comes out 12/07/2018. I can't wait!
