It’s not exactly a secret that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is widely regarded as one of (if not the) greatest Castlevania games of all time. Seeing that the current era has been desperately chomping at the bit for a new Castlevania, and Capcom has seen some pretty big success re-releasing Megaman and it seems only fitting that we’d finally start seeing some HD re-releases of the...[Read More]
