Unlimited Game Rentals Delivered - Free Trial


Click to read.They took their sweet time, but it\'s nearly here. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will be released on Xbox Live Arcade on Wednesday March 21st at 9 am GMT. That is, you\'ll be kicking skeleton and vampire ass in no time. The game will retail on arcade for 800 microsoft points.

On top of getting all the original content SOTN offered on PlayStation, the Xbox Live Arcade version has been beefed up for Microsoft\'s console:

* 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

Thank the gaming gods there\'s support for widescreen and high-def. This will be the first direct console game to come to Xbox Live Arcade.

On a side note, SOTN also happens to be my favorite game on the original PlayStation. So imagine me squinting into that eager face, teeth biting my lower lip, and a deranged weee sound coming from my nose, because that\'s what I\'ll be doing until it\'s here. Glee!
