Konami ad plays Ellis Island; changes Belmonts to Beaumonts

An official Konami advertisement for
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles in magazines talks about "the Beaumont family's quest to destroy Dracula," the only problem being that anybody who has played a
Castlevania game in the last 20 years would know it should be the
Belmont family. Oops! The error is kind of funny considering the amount of eyes that probably saw
the ad before it was sent out, and it's not like we're talking about a new franchise here.
We could go into a spiel right now about the incredible amount of people in the industry who know next to nothing about the products they're hawking -- but why bother getting serious. This reminds us of another
hilarious ad from earlier this year for
Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam on the
Sony Wii. Good times in advertising.
