Castlevania Coming To The PSP

Good news for PSP owners! Konami has announced that the new Castlevania game, Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles will be developed for Sony's beleaguered portable. The game will be a 3D redux of a title that never came to the US entitled Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. Also included will be a port of Castlevania's most popular title, Symphony of the Night.
1Up has a great preview of the game on their site with some screens, but if you want to check out a video of some gameplay, hit the jump!







Nice, looks promising
They said SotN would have an "improved localization". If that includes a Japanese voices option, I am SO getting another PSP just for this.

Oh man, Fruit, don't scare me like that!
You said "3-D" and my heart sank. Then I saw the video and realized it was really just 2.5-D. Well, that's a whole other story. 2-D gameplay in a mildly 3-dimensional space? Should be fine. Plus, if it contains the entire Symphony of the Night game, I'm totally in. I never did play that one. Didn't get into Castlevania until the GBA titles. But I've heard great things about SotN! Be nice to finally play it. (and put something other than GTA:VCS in my PSP)
Just to play Dracula X: Rondo of Blood again will be a dream come true. My brother had the Turbo Duo version and I played it into the ground. It really is the best Castlevania, next to SOTN of course...
I knew bought a PSP for a good reason...
