Yep, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night debuted in America 20 years ago. After I posted about some of my experiences and memories of the game, several people asked for recommendations on how to play it on current systems. So, I've put together a list not only of the various ways you can play Symphony, but also its direct predecessor (predecessors?): Rondo of Blood and Dracula X. We live in dark times, but it's not all bad when these classics are so easy to come by for a reasonable price.

Dracula X: Rondo of Blood The 'lost' Castlevania. This version of the game took nearly 15 years to make its way to the U.S. Konami published it exclusively on the PC Engine CD-ROM^2, the Japanese equivalent of the Turbo CD. Since Konami never localized a single one of its PC Engine games for the west, it languished in Japan. PC Engine CD-ROM^2 These days, the original import game disc will run you $150 on the low end, and the hardware that supports it sell for $300-500, easy. If you want the premium classic experience, it'll cost ya. PSP/Vita/PlayStation TV: The Dracula X Chronicles A far more economic option exists in the form of The Dracula X Chronicles, a PSP remake of Rondo of Blood that adds 2.5D graphics, new secrets, new bosses, and new story events.

In addition to the new version, the original Rondo appears here as an unlockable item. The emulation on the unlockable isn't the best in the world, but for the price it's hard to complain. The Dracula X Chronicles's physical UMD version works on PSP only, while the digital version also runs on Vita. Finally, you can supposedly run this version on PlayStation TV by working around Sony's built-in restrictions. Wii: Virtual Console The best price and best-quality reproduction of Rondo can be found on Wii, though. For a measly 900 Wii points — that's nine bucks — you can own a great recreation of the game. It also works in Wii U's backward compatibility mode.

The downside? This version of Rondo. Caveat: Due to Nintendo's requirement that Virtual Console titles remain unadulterated from their original releases, this version contains Japanese text only. Castlevania: Dracula X Since Konami didn't muck around with localizing PC Engine games, America saw this take on Dracula X instead. Not quite a sequel, not quite a remake — it was called 'Dracula XX' in Japan — this Super NES game contains many of the elements seen in Rondo but completely rearranges them. It also drops things like the alternate stage routes, hidden endings, and voice-acted anime cut scenes. On the other hand, it's ludicrously difficult.
