Masterpiece Symphony: A Look At Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 25 Years Later

Masterpiece Symphony: A Look At Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 25 Years Later
September 28, 2022

Like any long time series, Castlevania has had it's share of classics since the franchise debuted. However, as great as many of the best games of the series are, one game is usually considered head and shoulders above the rest and that game is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Released in 1997, the game changed the way we played Castlevania games, debuting the popular "Metroid-Vania" style while reintroducing classic characters from previous games such as Alucard, and having a different take on the Castlevania story as the concept of the vampire killing Belmont family took a back seat to a son who was determined to put an end to his vengeance obsessed father. With the 25 Anniversary having come back in March, I'll take a look at Symphony of the Night. This page does contain spoilers.

In 2001, the wrestling landscape in America changed forever when WWF purchased rival WCW while number three ECW went bankrupt. In the aftermath, many promotions would attempt the fill the void. While many wouldn't last, one has lasted longer than anyone thought it would and that was Impact Wrestling. Originally known as NWA-TNA, Impact launched on June 19, 2002 and attempted to fill the void by giving fans a different option. Over the past 20 years, the promotion has gone through it's ups and downs with the downs being considered embarrassing and what made it a punching bag to the wrestling critics and journalist while it's ups saw it provide a nice option to fans not into the WWE while also launching or reviving many careers and providing new matches, innovative ideas, and great shows. In this article, we'll take a look at the participants of the first Impact show and see where are they now.

I don't own any pictures as I found them on Google Credit to TNA/Impact or whomever owns them.
