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).

I hope you can turn off the filter. I like my classic art as it was made, not as interpolated by some passing fad of a filter. Turtles Arcade is a great example, use the internal hardware scaler for superiorly sharp pixels, and let the morons at Eurogamer complain all they want.

Heh, well 'enchanced graphics' on XBLA remakes are always a good joke. Anyways, I hope this is actually worth the hype, not having played Castlevanias.

Nice (although I too wonder about these enhanced graphics?). Now all I'm waiting for is Double Dragon 1 and 2 and you've got my money.
