Earlier, we gave you news of Konami's three-in-one Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles combo, and now we're going to give you a peek at the first level of the PSP remake. Check out the direct-feed video below, courtesy of GameVideos.



Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is a 3D remake of Rondo of Blood, which was only released for the Turbo Duo in Japan. An inferior version, the SNES title Dracula X, did make it to U.S. shores but Dracula X Chronicles tops it by including not only the revamped Rondo, but the original game AND Symphony of the Night as well.

Konami plans to unleash this monster on the world's gaming population in Q3 2007.

I love how this is pretty much the same delivery as Capcom did with Maverick Hunter X. Same gameplay, same levels (well, moreso than Maverick Hunter X did anyway), same whatnot - just updated graphics and sound. Looking forward to this even more now! =D

i think i remember playing that back in the day, wasn't the first boss a giant bat made up of smaller bats instead of a dragon?
i'm assuming there will be sound during the boss intros in the final version.
anywho, looks awesome, definately one for the buy list.

 » Dracula X and SOTN in one

Finally, after waiting for a long time. Dracula X will be out to the U.S. I know Dracula X will be in 2.5D, but I want to thanks Iga for thinking in the old gamers like me. The original graphics and music for Dracula X will be there as a unlockable game. That is not all..... Symphony of the night will be an unlockable game too. (I just hope this Symphony have all the map like the saturn version) Iga says that he will update Symphony and add much more stuff to it. THANKS IGA!!!!!!!!

 » Wow!!!

bettoperu thanks for the info. I though it was going to be only Rondo X chronicles for the PSP. Now that I know that there will be the original Rondo X plus SOTN in it. I will buy it at the moment that the games are available on the stores. THANKS BETTOPERU!!!!!
