Castlevania: Portrait of Character Portraits

by JC Fletcher { Jul 20th 2007 at 2:00PM }


During last night's Game Night, we were approached by reader Brad Mecoli, who asked us if we wanted to see some hacked Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin video. After about .68 seconds of deliberation (which, for an android, is nearly an eternity) we agreed, and Brad took us to a good place (heh, heh, heh): YouTube.

He found a character portrait test sequence in the ROM, which, using a hex editor, he was able to display. It features every character in the game cycling through all of their facial expressions while chanting ka ge ma sa, which, as Brad reminded us, is the name of the founder of Konami.

We find it very creepy for some reason whenever the veil is pulled back on internal development materials within a game. But we also find it funny. Watch after the break and enter a Kagemasa traaaaaaance.
