I only played the first half hour of symophony of the night, the game is hard as balls

Is one of the EASIEST Castlevania games to date, Alucard has access to a lot of moves and stuff that literally breaks the game

Probably, I was just skimming through the game and trying to see what why the game had such a strong reputation, if I actually tried to play and learn the mechanics I believe I could fare better, it was a long time ago when I tried to play it

Looks like it's been rated for release in North America as well. Still only for PS4...I wonder why.

"Pixelated blood is depicted when players' character and creatures are killed"
Makes it sound like they're NOT gonna be ports

I was going to suggest that it may be due to SotN only being available on Sony systems previously... but then I remembered that it was also for the Saturn and was also ported for release on XBLA.

I seriously need to play this game. All these years, and still haven't touched SotN. And I HAVE the PSP version.

Symphony of the Night was such a good game, I wouldn't mind playing it again, though I'd really want to play it on the go... (Switch, lol).

..or you could play it with the Dracula X Chronicles on Vita, which has Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night and Akumajou Dracula Peke on it. Vita has a sleep mode and is even tinier then the Switch.

Another puzzle solved!

Don't have a Vita, and enjoy the larger screen of the Switch.

otherwise the Vita one is a great bundle!

I know. I possess all 20 units that were sold in the whole world.

I wonder what the price of this new bundle will be?

Have you not played the games? The blood was pixelated, and there was plenty of it, in all versions of it.

inverted castle here i come!!!

AutumnWolf · Sep 24, 2018

But will it be on NS?

AshuraZro · Sep 24, 2018

It has only been rated for PS4 so I would not expect Switch at the time. Could always get released elsewhere later though.

GuyInDogSuit · Sep 24, 2018

Would actually be nice to play SotN again, especially on a Nintendo console.

I miss the old Igavania days where they were all released on the Nintendo handhelds.

Dont worry, the start of the game isnt stupidly easy if you're new to the series. It can get really easy later on if you use spells or a few particular weapons. I very much recommend playing sotn or aria of sorrow (I personally prefer aria) and playing the rest of the gba and ds games if you like those.

but why mention something so obvious? and so specific?
Most of the Castlevania games are pixelated, so I suspect there's something more than that in here.
And for your information, I played all of them.

It's because the rating system often details a description of what gave the game that specific rating. Pixelated blood and violence often get a "teen" or "13+" kind of rating, while the more detailed the violence and gore, the higher the rating may go. And if you've got nudity? Well, that's definitely a "mature" rating regardless of gore/blood detail.

I dunno. it pretty much describes most Castlevania games :|
