inally it's done and written, Castelvania Symphony of the Night will be available next wednesday on XBLA. Hell of a good news ! And because everything has to be perfect today, here are fourty screenshots of the beast. Nevertheless, shame on the lost soul who dared to capture these images in upgraded graphics mode...

Journey Into the Darkness With “Castlevania: Symphony of Night” on Xbox Live Arcade

Celebrate more than two decades of the Castlevania franchise by reliving (or experiencing for the first time) one of the series’ most highly regarded games. The legendary 2D side-scrolling action adventure game from Konami Digital Entertainment, “Castlevania: Symphony of Night,” will be available for download on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 beginning Wednesday, March 21 at 0900 GMT (2 a.m. PDT).

The Castlevania franchise is well known for delivering exceptional quality in all elements that make a great game – story, music, level design, character development, gameplay and controls. In “Castlevania: Symphony of Night,” the 12th iteration of the series, gamers take on the role of Alucard, the half-vampire son of the blood-drinker Dracula, as he ventures into his infamous father’s foreboding castle. Along the way, Alucard must collect items, weapons and armor to defeat the powerful boss monsters that block access to key areas of the castle.

“Castlevania: Symphony of Night” is the first full console classic to appear on Xbox Live Arcade and offers dozens of hours of non-linear action RPG gameplay. “Castlevania: Symphony of Night” will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated T for Teen (Animated Blood and Violence).

Game Features

* Play the original version of the game or experience it in enhanced mode with improved graphics and modernized audio and sound effects
* New native widescreen and high-definition support
* Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points

I like the filter.  It looks like a NeoGeo game. 

The border, however, I don't think I could deal with.

xbla has been on a roll as of late.  about time.  though after listening to today's 1UP yours, i kinda agree w/ john davison -- a shitload of arcade releases in the month would be too much to follow.  unless they're priced right, it could be overload.  i never minded the release schedule.  being spread out was easier on my wallet.  i've yet to purchase worms or tmnt.  feb. and march is crazy.

Pretty sure you can play borderless in widescreen mode.

XBLA has been shitty since day one. Not one original title has been worth playing, and the old games just don't go well with the times.

Alien Hominid isn't original.

Geowars is really the only worth while thing that has been up there.   XBLA is such a waist if potential.
