Oh, I wasnt asking you to fit her in. I was just saying how I feel about Koji declaring her non-canon just because she was a woman.

I heard he had trouble with the Alucard bieng Trevor Father thing also...

But Alucard was half human half vampire. And Alucard also helped Trevor Belmont defeat Dracula. There was no legitamate reason to declare her non-canon.

maybe because the game had such importance in the canon was very poor, and in terms of profit it's better to have "the first Belmont" in a more popular videogame console(back then when Lament of Innocence came out).You have to remember the change in the canon was made around that time.
And maybe also because he was ticked the first Belmont was a girl :P who knowsa---

And also he declared Legacy of Darkness(N64) to be non-canon too(despite the fact that LoD told how Dracula was revived once every 100 years. Through an act of Self-devil forging by Consuming the body and soul of a human being-something Dracula tried with Issac(Curse of Darkness), Soliyu Belmont(Belmont's Revenge), Simon Belmont(Simon's Quest), and even with the friend of Juste Belmont(Harmony of Dissonence). Koji has taken key castlevania games out of the timeline as well as adding one game that has nothing to do with the timeline at all(Order of Ecclasia).

I didn't know that...
But more and more seems a business choice, take note that the N64 games also had very poor reception among gamers.
actually according to the wiki: Castlevania 64, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, and Castlevania: Circle of the Moon were intended from the very start to be gaidens to the Castlevania storyline. Gaidens are basically the Japanese meaning of spin offs of an official product.

"take note that the N64 games also had very poor reception among gamers."

Yes, that is true. But then again, the lowest rated Castlevania game ever(Castlevania Adventure for GameBoy-2 out of 10 back in 1989 Nintendo Power and other game publications) is still part of the Canon story(as well as featured in your dev.)

Maybe cause' Christopher have been mentioned since Castlevania 1?
The fact the original game was terrible maybe the reason it was remastered recentlly...
