CastleVania: Portrait Of Ruin Available For The DS It's shipped and
almost on store shelves in North America. The wait is nearly over for
the second DS rendition of CastleVania. Featuring two-player wi-fi and
a new single-player story that allows players to freely switch between
the two main characters, CastleVania: Portrait of Ruin can finally be
grabbed by CastleVania fans everywhere.
The series has come a long way and will probably keep on going long
after this generation of handhelds and consoles. CastleVania seems to
rarely fail at capturing the attention of gamers, despite the sometimes
horrid games that have come out of Konami's publishing hole (i.e.,
namely the ones on the N64 and PSOne). Portrait of Ruin, though, offers
gamers the classic side-scrolling gameplay of old. Enhanced visuals and
a new gameplay scheme for playing multiple characters has been brought
to the table in order to inflame an invigorating appeal to the series.
CastleVania: Portrait of Ruin is currently headed to store shelves for
the Nintendo DS, and retails for the suggested price of $34.95.
