Best XBLA month ever?
One of the most highly regarded PlayStation games ever made has a date with the Xbox 360. Microsoft today announced that Konami's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, one of GameSpot's Greatest Games of All Time, will debut on Xbox Live Arcade this coming Wednesday at 2 a.m. PDT.
As the first title to be brought over to Live Arcade from another console, Symphony of the Night will feature "modernized" sound, widescreen support, achievements, and leaderboards. Players will be able to choose between the original graphics or altered visuals that address sprite pixelation when the game is played in high definition.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is rated T for Teen and will be available for 800 Microsoft Points ($10).

Fucking Castle Crashers, plz.
Suckers.
By my understanding CC was pushed to 2008 to take advantage of new size limit.

From what I understand it's just filtering, most people don't like the effect but luckily it can be turned off.
Shit.
I can see myself putting another 200 hours into this shit. I had to have every drop from every monster in this game. No matter how rare, crappy or how long it took.
I will do it again.
There's rumor of a lode runner version coming up. What's known about this? Does anyone remember this version?:

The multiplayer was awesome, here's hoping they port that version!
I want Konami to have my money!
I lost weeks to TLR and it's level editor when I was younger.
The sequel, Mad Monk's Revenge is apparantly free on the creators website. I downloaded it, but I can't get it to run right.
I'm afraid of what might happen if I do.

Satans..... hints.....
If that means what I think it means, and not "we stuck really annoying turtle borders on your TV," then I will give them my money just to encourage that kind of improvement.
It's nowhere near as ugly as the TMNT border.
Just so you know, you can stretch the game image in TMNT to fill the entire screen and get rid of the border.
On topic: SotN = the shit. Cant wait!
*many US dollars

$10
So you spend more than you need to. It's a devious trick, really.
I wonder how this will be received in general. Will it be considered unstoppably difficult due to the ease of completing recent games in the series?
Since when was SotN hard?
Seriously. Once you get over that initial hump of the first two bosses, you're swimming in swag and level ups.
I was severely over hyped for it, by other people. Mostly on this board!
But it was good enough that I wasn't totally let down.
I found the last third of the game(good ending) to be neat for about 10 minutes, then hokey and asinine.
You can't possibly tell me that the newer CV games wouldn't make ANY old CV game seem like the hardest thing ever made. :P
That said, what hump with the first two bosses? You perform Hellfire ONCE and Slogra is dead, and Gaibon is nothing by himself. Or you just use the Axe from the previous room to annihilate Gaibon first. Takes longer but just as easy.
Combine that with, well, let me put it this way: We take serious liberties with what games are in our kiosks at the store. Typically it's always a classic game anthology. People that have no problem playing 3D action games CANNOT FIGURE OUT King of Dragons, Magic Sword, etc. Mega Man X Collection exposed to the general gaming public is hilarity incarnate. Even Otogi gives people a run for their money because, well, man fuck humanity.
Anyways my point is that the game may be too difficult for its general audience, especially if their only previous exposure to Castlevania was on the GBA/DS.
because I am going to get a 360 soon
and this game
and fuck if I won't complete every single thing in it
If only they added in whips.
