Don't get my hopes up,Igarashi.
To date my favorite game of all time is Symphony of the Night, (props to 360, good call!), closely followed by Aria of Sorrow. In fact, I have a GBA emulator strictly for that game.

What don't I have? A Nintendo DS.
What will I never have? A Nintendo DS.
How about you bring some 2D Castlevania love to the Xbox, or PS3?

I've been waiting and hoping...and this just teases me.

I agree. I've been playing and much loving the PSP port of Symphony (via Dracula X Chronicles) but long to see it on the big screen again.

I'd always hoped "next-gen" technology might bring a whole new flair to classic side-scrollers but most of the attempts at adaptation have been relatively lukewarm (the aforementioned Dracula X chronicles again, and a few others) or utterly non-existent for favor of newer schemes.
