Title: [PSP] - Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

So, basically this is a 2.5D remake of the PC Engine Rondo of Blood.  But here's the catch - it also includes the original Rondo, as well as Symphony of the Night.  While this is great news, this really makes me want a PSP now.  I almost bought one just for MGS, but this will definately mark a purchase.

...  shit. Now I have to get a PSP. Oh well, I'm glad they FINALLY decided to release it over here. Maybe that will knock down the inflated prices of the original for the PC Engine...  as it's still on my "must get" list. :P

Might want to wait to see if it is a shitty remake.

Damn that link won't load for me.

You can't make a shitty remake of Symphony of the Night, and I've wanted Dracula X for millions of minutes.

So far, the word is that they are going to be including the original Rondo of Blood as well as the remake and SOTN. Hell, I'd want it if it were only the original Rondo, as it is still too expensive for me to buy a Duo and Rondo just to play it.

And yeah, I hate 1UP sometimes. They always seem to have some kind of script error loading problems.

Wonder if it'll be SOTN on PS1, or the extended version of SOTN (Dracula X) on the Saturn that gets ported over.

I was wondering that as well. I'm hoping it's the Saturn version, as I've never had the chance to play that one.

Apparently, the localization is going to be cleaned up a bit. Maybe no more of the "What is a man but a miserable pile of secrets?".

This is the most bull **** thing ever! I was so looking forward to a Rhondo of Blood port on the DS then in an interview with IGA he states the next DS title will make SotN fans pleased. And what do we get? Exactly what I wanted for the PSP. Now here's hoping the DS gets a sequel or something to SotN.

Also are we sure this is the turbografix version of Rhondo of Blood? If it isn't I really don't mind not receiveing it.

For anyone that's not aware yet... http://psp.ign.com/articles/760/760806p1.html

I hate it when Konami makes a Castlevania game for a Sony console that I wouldn't own otherwise...   I bought a PSX just for SotN, bought a PS2 just for LoI, and now I'll have to buy a PSP. Next, they'll make a Castlevania Compilation exclusively for the PS3, and I'll have to buy that as well...   bah.
