Thank God for XBox Live

From IGN:

August 3, 2006 - Fans of the first PlayStation's vampire shredding Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will be glad to know the game is soon to make a reemergence. According to what Konami told us today, SotN will be releasing onto the Xbox Live Arcade sometime this winter. Whether that means it'll show up late this year or early in 2007, Konami couldn't say. Microsoft's approval process for products appearing on Xbox Live is somewhat extensive, so it's difficult to pin down an exact date.

In terms of price or extra features offered in the Xbox Live Arcade version, Konami wouldn't say, other than they're working on it. Fans of the PS1's platforming classic will be happy to know that more details will be revealed later this month at a Konami event. Until then, we'll keep you updated on any more developments

This makes me want to take a peek at a 360.

Well, that and gives props to Kou for the Plutonian love. Y'know, WITH ZE ARMIES.

I have never got into Castlevania games as much as I have wanted to, once you've seen one you've seen 'em all it seems.

True, but Symphony of the Night is that one Castlevania game.

Xbox Live Arcade has been kicking ass recently. Street Fighter II and Frogger just went up as well.

There's demos and trials for everything as well, so you never buy before you try.

Cloning Clyde is pretty fun as well, a rare old-style platformer.

Let's hope CV2 doesn't make it to XBL. By God that game sucked the balls. The rest would be pretty welcome. I hope Nintendo do this same sort of thing with the Wii, as heavily rumoured.

Don't buy Frogger. Worst Frogger ever.

[The Kraig]

Has there ever been a good Frogger?

[Guest Koupa Troopa]

Yes, the original arcade machine rocked the house.
