I'm a bit off on the new release...but anyone play this?  Truly some gross transformation sequences....Classic Sega button smashing, kinda cool...

I thought Sega cancelled the NA version...

I've played it for like 5 minutes. It was god awful. I mostly just bought it because it was cheap, and to write an article on the series in the future.

It only came out in Europe and Japan.

Hmm, didn't think it was god aweful (though upon reflection, the acting certainly is)...It's a bit lower res than the Castlevania PS2 games, but it is high on action.  Looks like an unreleased Saturn game...strange release for sure...
