Castlevania becomes obese, to cross XBLA download top figure

Yashpal SharmaJan 15 2007

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is honored as the very first title to break all the content restrictions imposed by the Microsoft regarding XBLA downloads. Microsoft has some governed some fictitious rules about amount of downloadable content through XBLA that says that not more than 50MBs can be downloaded from the online service.

But Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has become the first to violate the rule with more than 50MBs space.

Commenting on the Microsoft's download service, Microsoft XBLA group manager Greg Canessa says that generally the file size of the games is kept small so as to have more convenient and faster download and start playing games within one or two minutes.

But, in case of Castlevania, perhaps to squeeze the file size to such a significant extant was unfeasible that's why the file holds more than 50MBs space.

Meanwhile, talking to Game Informer (magazine) Gabe Newell, MD of Valve reveals his great affection for Nintendo's Wii console and hailing upon Sony's next-gen concept' PS3 he says, 'The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels.'
