Honestly, a weird amount of respect for Konami realizing
1) people still love castlevania to death 2) oh fuck we lost the guy who made castlevania 3) we need to find someone to make castlevania
and then deciding the best way to test the waters was giving some decently popular indie game inspired by them the rights to their characters and motiontwin knocking it COMPLETELY OUT OF THE GOD DAMN PARK so hard they just went "Fuck it, hey you guys wanna make the next real ass castlevania game?"
