lol the art designers of Nintendo Power haven't noticed yet we're not in the 90's anymore...

im not amused by Simons design. Trever is ok

I like the artstyle, but not the barbarian design.

But hey, it could be worse (actually it was worse!)

^Talk about design! Glad they changed it!

Simon's been a barbarian since day 1... but maybe you'rea bigger fan of this design:

Its more of his face and hair/facial hair

I actually really like the beard - it's what sold me on it.  It looks like they based his design on the chronicles look (first pic vic viper posted) but tried to make him more of a barbarian.  Not really sold on the hair now that you mention it, but I'll wait untill I see him in game.  Overall I'm happy with it, but different strokes for different folks.

Trevor's look is definetly based off of his Curse of Darkness (which I actually think is a decent IGA 3d Castlevania) look, mixed with Gab's armor from Lords of Shadow.

When Richter Belmont enters the fray I will have a nerdgasm

The Ultimate Belmont

Actually the open chest is the thing I didn't liked. But yeah, it's not that bad.

And that is Simon the same way this is megaman

Just didn't happened.

Hope it retains the essence of the DS games.

I loved Order of Ecclesia and Portrait of Ruin.
