YouTube channel. While the video itself contains a remix of the Galaga theme, the video’s title is “Bloody Tears/Monster Dance.” These are the titles of songs from the Castlevania games. The video’s title has since been changed to “Galaga Medley.” You can see the video for yourself in the tweet below from Jake Mueller who brought the leak to GameXplain’s attention. Update (August 8): Simon Belmont has been revealed as a new fighter during the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct. He uses his iconic Vampire Killer whip in battle which is slow but has long reach. He also uses other famous Castlevania items such as Holy Water and Axes. He is joined by his echo fighter Richter. They both get a new stage based on Castlevania. 66: Simon – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 2018-08-08T14:28:49.000Z Simon Belmont was previously rumored to be playable via a user on GameFAQs, as Comicbook.com reported. The source has correctly predicted that all fighters from previous Smash Bros. games will be in Smash Ultimate and that Ridley will return. Now it’s still not confirmed that Simon Belmont is coming to the game. Just because a game’s music appears in a Smash Bros. game doesn’t mean there will be a playable character from that game. We’ll have to wait for the Direct presentation tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET for official confirmation.<doc-sep>After months of speculation, Nintendo finally put the rumors to rest. Simon Belmont of the Castlevania games will officially be joining the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster. The third-party newcomer was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on August 8, but the company actually leaked its big reveal just a few hours earlier. Nintendo announced the news with a well-produced video at the start of the Direct, in which Simon shows up to protect Luigi from a spooky ghost (sidenote: did Luigi die in this video). Simon’s primary weapon is a metal whip with a long range of attack. He can also throw holy water, along with other special attacks. Nintendo Nintendo Aside from Simon Belmont, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate also adds Richter Belmont, also from Castlevania, as an Echo fighter version of Simon. There’s also a new Castlevania stage featuring music from the series and various monsters, including rare appearances from Dracula. Nintendo Additionally, the company announced two more Echo fighters: Chrom and Dark Samus. Chrom comes from the Fire Emblem series and plays like Marth and Roy. Meanwhile, Dark Samus is a variation of the classic Metroid Prime hero. Finally, at the very end of the Direct, Nintendo revealed one more new fighter: King. K Rool. The Donkey Kong villain is a long-rumored addition to the Smash Bros Ultimate roster with heavy attacks similar to DK himself along with a Blunderbuss gun and a helicopter-backpack for recoveries. Nintendo Simon Leaks Early Late last night, Nintendo appeared to change the title for one of the music tracks from the Super Smash Bros. YouTube channel to “Bloody Tears/Monster Dance,” two well-known songs from Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest that launched on the NES in 1987. Nintendo quickly corrected the mistake, but it was too late. Of course, the addition of Simon Belmont to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster isn’t exactly a surprise either. The vampire killer has been at the center of plenty of leaks and rumors when it comes to new characters for Nintendo’s fighting game franchise. One trusted leaker even went so far as to say that you should trust any other leaks that don’t include Simon. With another Nintendo Direct on the books, the company is doing a great job of building hype for Smash Bros. Ultimate. But with five months still to go before the game actually launches, there’s plenty of time for even more roster additions — and the rumors and leaks that precede them. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches December 7 for Nintendo Switch.<doc-sep>
It sounds like Simon Belmont will be cracking his whip in Smash Bros. A new third party franchise seems to be coming to Smash Bros., but don’t read on if you don’t want today’s Nintendo Direct spoiled… Capitol riot probe commission blocked from being created by Republicans At first glance this may seem a fairly vague kind of leak but there really isn’t any explanation for it other than Castlevania is now part of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The leak came about from what seems to be a mix-up with the naming of music files on the official Smash Bros. YouTube channel. Fans on Reddit noticed that the video for Galaga’s music had its name changed to Bloody Tears/Monster Dance, even though the music itself was still Galaga (it’s since been changed back again). What’s Bloody Tears and Monster Dance, you may ask? Well, they’re two famous tracks from Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest on the NES – the first entry in the series that was a Metroidvania style title instead of a straight action game. At the very least this suggests that a Castlevania character, probably Simon Belmont, is in the game but for months now it’s been rumoured that he’s a fully playable character. The leak offers no proof of that though, and it’s possible he or another character could just be a trophy assist such as the recently revealed Bomberman (also a Konami character). Nothing from Castlevania has ever been in Smash Bros. before but there is a Nintendo Direct scheduled for 3pm today, where it’s widely assumed that at least one new character will be revealed. There have also been consistent rumours that a new Castlevania game is coming to Switch, possibly as a part of the new ‘R’ line of retro revamps and possibly also including a compilation of older games. The Nintendo Direct is dedicated to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but it wouldn’t be hard to also sneak in a new Switch exclusive Castlevania annoucement as well.
