Rest assured: when we
reviewed Konami's
Castlevania Judgment, we did so completely free of influence from external factors like whip-wielding producers in cowboy hats or vampire hunter cosplayers. Had there been somebody in our office whipping at us and cosplaying at us, we'd
like to think the score would have remained firm, but we have yet to be tested in such a way to find out. Mostly we'd have been happy to suddenly have an office!
That's right, the time-altering ability of Aeon brought Simon Belmont into the modern age, specifically the day of
Castlevania Judgment's Japanese release. The legendary vampire hunter joined forces with
Castlevania series producer
Koji Igarashi to bother
Dengeki staffers, with a truly amusing set of photos as a result. Will it
sell Castlevania? No idea.
We thought there was no way to make the outfits Takeshi Obata designed for the characters look any more ridiculous, but Konami found a way: putting them on real people.
