And it's Pyramid Head from Belmont by a length

Look at Frogger's expression here -- he simply can't believe that he's part of a 100m sprint with super-deformed versions of Pyramid Head and Simon Belmont. Nor can we, actually. The cast of characters in Konami's New International Track & Field is even more unusual and eclectic than that of the DS's other mascot/athletics mash-up.As well as Frogger, Pyramid Head, and Simon Belmont, these 28 new screens feature Pentarou, a penguin whose most notable appearances came in the Parodius series of games, and Evil Rose, a fighter from the mediocre Xbox 360 'rassler Rumble Roses XX. The events appear to be just as diverse, including as they do the likes of "Belmont's Challenge," which looks like a kind of vampire-themed take on archery.

Those are Namco and Capcom characters, and no-
NOT FOR THE WIN.

Nice to see some of those characters still exist. I wonder if Hudson's stuff will make it in there?

Add some yu-gi-oh characters and I'll buy it.
Pyramid head is just Win.

Oh yeah, if you were wondering why Pyramid head didn't appear in SH:O instead of that lame Butcher was because he was training fro the Olympics.

I'd only buy it for Pyramid Head, so lolno.
