Nintendo just posted a store page for Bloodstained: CotM 2 which reveals a July 10th release date, a $14.99 price tag, and confirms 2 player local Co-Op as well as the (apparent) return of Alfred, Gebel, & Miriam as playable characters. If you're interested you can see the page/listing here
Update: IntiCreates has released a new trailer for CotM 2 which starts like the original announce trailer, but after introducing the new characters goes on to confirm the return of Alfred, Gebel, & Miriam as well as the July 10th release date. |

New trailer (it seems the same at first, but is not - watch it if you don't mind some mild spoilers!): All of the original game's characters are playable and the game will feature local 2-player co-op! |

Hmm... I make it a point to play older styled games like this, but many of the older vania games require a sort of patience and skill I am just not built for. I love seeing them in action, but I am the easily frustrated sort.

I love seeing them in action, but I am the easily frustrated sort. That just means unlike most gamers, you love and care for your mental health. |

I absolutely loved the first game, and a co-op mode is a fantastic idea, but man, I am so devastated by it being local co-op only. I don't know if the developers noticed but there's kind of a worldwide pandemic going on right now. I can't exactly drive over to a friend's house and start playing a game with them just because.
I'd honestly rather them have made it solo only than be constantly teased with a mode I won't be able to even consider trying out for up to a year (or longer).

Something tells me that if enough people complain about it online they'll add it at a later date. |

Something tells me that if enough people complain about it online they'll add it at a later date. They may very well indeed, but, personally, I wouldn't bet on it. I think they're more likely to add it in the eventual sequel, if at all. With their very noticeable exceptions (see FFXIV post Yoshi-P) Japanese developers are, for the most part, not very knowledgeable about online-play in general (see FFXIV pre Yoshi-P). Some of them will use the excuse that you have to "design around lag and we don't have time to do that" (see Trials of Mana), but, at the end of the day, they probably just don't have anyone on the team who can reliably implement online play and - since it's not that big in Japan - perceive no incentive to implementing it, specially since they themselves probably wouldn't use the mode. Things are slowly changing, of course, but just as with everything else, it'll be a decade or so before the "old guard" gets with the program.  I obviously hope I'm wrong, though. |

I bet Wayforward wouldn't have a problem implementing that sorta stuff. Maybe if they were brought on to RoTN2 (as opposed to CotM and CotM2, which are all Inti) we could see that feature...psst, IGA! Hint hint! |

Yeah I wouldn't count on it either but it would be nice. Either way we're in for a real treat with this game and I can't wait to play it.
But like you said there are a number of factors preventing Japanese (niche) game developers from being as successful as they could in the West pertaining to online play. You can see some small changes here and there, for example SNK embracing roll back netcode on some of its retro releases but it will likely take some before it actually sinks in.

Inti Creates? The same !@#$ who pulled that stunt with no DRM-Free version, last minute before release? Inconveniencing Fangamer service and backers who surveyed at DRM-Free&Region-free option?
