This story is a few days old now since I was in Sin City this past week, and while I've decided not to re-hash a ton of old stories here, I just had to mention this little gem by way of Racketboy.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is one of my all time favorites, and a game that really pushed every bit of power from the PS1. I personally believe the reception this game got helped to save the 2D game genre as everything was getting pushed into the 3D realm. If you're unfamiliar, read this review

To hear that this will get a re-release is a welcome piece of news, if only so that more people will have the chance to play it. It's rumored to be hitting in Q1 of 2007, and it hasn't been announced to be Xbox Live Arcade exclusive, so we may see this on the Wii and PS3.

The NetJak review has this great closing line:

If one walks into a debate concerning the best game of all time and puts Castlevania: Symphony of the Night down as a candidate, heâ€™s guaranteed to have a strong opening argument.

Anyone that hasn't played it, please buy this game (any version), you'll be glad you did.

I haven't played this game in years, but I remember the amazing array of weapons and insane boss fights. I agree with you; this game will definitely be worth checking out.
