Touch Alucard's Gems - Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night Coming To iPhone

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is often considered the best of the Castlevania series, so of course Konami would want to capitalize on that with spin-off games. But I don't think anyone expected a spin-off like this. Today Konami has announced Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night, a puzzle and RPG hybrid coming exclusively to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Players will collect equipment, an explore Dracula's castle as Alucard from Symphony of the Night, and battle foes in what looks to be something similar to Capcom's Super Puzzle Fighter II.
So let's recap: it borrows the puzzle/RPG style of Puzzle Quest, the gameplay of Super Puzzle Fighter II, and the story and characters of Symphony of the Night. Why isn't this game already available on the app store so that it can devour hours of my life? Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night should be hitting the app store "soon" for an as of yet unannounced price.








Whhhaaaat?!?! This is just about the most awesome thing I have heard in weeks.
OMG Yes!!!
Don't be fooled. There's a reason this is being released on the iphone and not a real gaming system.
I'm willing to bet this is a cheap, unbalanced game, which is not what makes a good puzzle game, but instead what makes up 90% of puzzle games. The fact that it's entirely sprite rips don't inspire quality confidence either.
