Castlevania claims PSP stake
Konami is planning a Castlevania title for PSP - and they're not
mucking about either, packing Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood
onto the same disc as a full-blown 3D-graphics remake of the latter.
Going by the name Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, it's due out in the autumn.
"Rondo
of Blood?" It's only ever been released properly in Japan, although you
may have played a slightly less exciting port of it on the SNES called
Dracula X. Don't worry though, they're not going to spoil it with 3D
visuals, as the gameplay will still be ostensibly 2D.
What's
more, an untouched port of the original code, along with one of the
much celebrated PlayStation title Symphony of the Night, will also be
stuffed onto the UMD when the game makes its first appearance later
this year. There's no 3D remake planned of the latter, sadly.
Even
so, it still sounds brilliant. Xbox 360 fans will want to remember that
Symphony of the Night is also set to be released via Live Arcade in the
near future.
