The best cattlevania absolute has just been 25 years old

You will be forgiven to have missed it (we did, at least at the beginning), but Castlevania: Symphony of the night celebrated its quarter century this weekend.

My Top 5 Favorite Castlevania Games - 30 Years of Castlevania | Nefarious Wes Akumajō Dracula X: Gekka No Yasōkyoku (Japanese title of the game) launched on March 20, 1997 in the country of the rising sun. One of the most remarkable titles of all the genus "Metroidvania", the game merged a 2D action platform with a nonlinear tentacular card and RPG elements - such as experience points, weapons, armor and other equipment.

Symphony of the Night was produced and produced by Toru Hagiahara, with Koji 'Iga' Igarashi acting as one of the main programmers. Igarashi, of course, will later become the guardian of the entire franchise before separating from Konami and working on Bloodstained: Ritual of the night , spiritual successor of Symphony of the Night. During its mandate as a producer in the series, Igarashi would oversee the production of several games that were trying to replicate the style of Symphony of the Night, including the superb Aria of the grief .

Helped by the incredible soundtrack of Michiru Yamane and the sumptuous characters' designs of Ayami Kojima, Symphony of The Night is considered by much as the summum of the whole Castlevania series. It has been a commercial success in North America (but not in Europe, curiously), and was then focused on Sega Saturn in Japan. It would be published numerically as "PS1 Classic" and was included as an unlocking supplement on the title PSP Castlevania: the chronicles of Dracula X . Later again, it would be grouped with Dracula X: Rondo of Blood in the Requiem of Castlevania Pack double.

Castlevania is unfortunately fallen by the way as a video game franchise lately, but Netflix has managed to adapt it successfully into a rather good live series.

Happy birthday, symphony of the night! What do you think of the game 25 years later? Is it a classic of all time, or maybe you have not played yet? Let's discuss it in the comments section below.

Dragon Ball creator states that Gohan is the strongest character

Since Dragon Ball Super came to light, the prominence of the series has always had it Goku and Vegeta , who over time are becoming stronger when training with opponents formidable But it seems that these warriors are not the superior beings within the project, because the creator speaks of a somewhat forgotten character. During a small question and answers session, Akira Toriyama was talking about the different levels of power of the cast, where some names stood out and others were simply relegated. And right in that session, he mentioned that Gohan is the strongest being of the franchise, even more than the protagonists who always save the world. The creator acknowledged that the son of Goku has been left in oblivion since his moment of stardom in Z, specifically, after he beat the powerful Cell in the arts tournament of the arts martials However, he affirms that the now young adult still has that hidden potential of which he was discussed in many chapters, but he decided t...

NBA News: Trade of Ben Simmons by the Philadelphia 76ers probably only a matter of time

Checklist of Red vs. Blue: The Chorus Trilogy episodes. Several NBA executives evidently assume that the crucial question in the poker around Ben Simmons is only when the Sixers star is tired, not if. Lastly, it should have given detailed discussions with multiple teams, including the Raptors and Timberwolves. A deal is not in view yet. This announces Shams Charania ( the athletic ). Accordingly, neither the supply of Raptors nor that of the Wolves really irritated the responsible persons in Philadelphia. The Sixers obviously remain at a very high price for the 25-year-old. Although Philly have given the rival team to understand, they can also imagine to start with Simmons in the training camp. But for many executives, according to Shams, a trade of the three-time all-star is just a matter of time. According to the Sixers, the report continues to have an eye on Damian Lillard, but Portland fully focused, the team continues to build around the superstar. At a trade, the blazers are ...
