Konami released Symphony of the Night in North America in October 1997 with little advertising and limited funding for the US production, and it wasn't a big seller at first. Critics praised its huge, open castle full of secrets, and its music. Word of mouth did the rest, and the PlayStation version went on to sell 477,304 copies in the US. A Greatest Hits reprint followed in 1998. Both US printings came in jewel cases. Sony's long cardboard boxes belong to the first wave of US PlayStation games, so there's no US long-box Symphony. If you just want to play it, it's been rereleased on Xbox Live Arcade, PSN, the PSP's Dracula X Chronicles and the PS4's Castlevania Requiem.
Before you plug it in
Should come with it
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
It's one disc, so scratches on the data side are the main risk. A copy sold as a long box is mislabeled, since every US copy came in a jewel case.

Buying guide
We'd buy the Greatest Hits copy titled complete and tested at $166 delivered, right at the median, unless you want the 1997 original, which starts at $228 delivered for a copy titled Original and $326 for one titled black label. There are at least 68 for sale. US discs without a manual or with no case ask about $100 to $160 delivered and Greatest Hits complete copies about $155 to $191, so the $130 to $220 band mostly reflects the reprint. Every US copy came in a jewel case with serial SLUS-00067, so check the cover for the green Greatest Hits strip, compare the disc art with the cover, and ask for a photo of the disc's data side, which should be black. Skip the black label copy at $797 delivered, about five times the median.
$160.00est. delivered
The lowest ask on a US copy titled tested, $160 delivered, and the disc in the photo carries the 1997 original's art. It's titled no manual and the photo shows a plain slim case with no cover, so ask whether the original case and insert come with it.
