Castlevania Retrospective, Xbox Live Bound

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-times-with-the-belmonts dept.

astrokid writes "From last week, 1up is running an informative look back at the Castlevania series. Although I am looking forward to Portrait of Ruin for the Nintendo DS, I really hope Konami finds a way to release a 2D game for one of the next gen systems." Funny you should mention that. An anonymous reader writes "The greatest Castlevania game -- and possibly 2D game -- of all time, Symphony of the Night, is headed to Xbox 360 Arcade!."

  1. Metroidvania by hansamurai · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I enjoyed playing the original Castlevania's back in the day, good old simple whip side-scrollers that were fun for its time. But once Symphony of the Night came out, I really, really loved the series. Especially the GBA and DS game, those are very fun games and bound to be classics. Check out Metroidvania for more info.

    Rewritten for Mario 3 to show the stupidity:

    A 2 decade old NES game is getting a port to the Wii.

    A game that 100 million NES people can and have been playing for the past 2 decades.

    A game that 100 million SNES people can and have been playing for the past ten years.

    A game that anyone with a GBA can play.

    A game that anyone with a NES emulator for your computer can play easily.

    IS GETTING A Wii PORT!!!

    How would this be different?
