Title: Castlevania SOTN on Xbox arcade NOW!

That was a surprise.  Didn't expect it so soon for some reason.  I'm downloading the trial now.

Now that I have it on my PSP, this holds basically no interest for me.  Still cool to see it out there.

It's very nicely done.  The gameplay is intact, and the enhanced graphics option interpolates on the stretch, so it looks generally good.  Some 2D dialog text & graphics are ugly pixel-doubled stuff.  You can stretch the game screen in both directions.  I stretched it as far as it would go while keeping the aspect ratio more or less correct.  (Maybe it's a little skewed horizontally.)  You can use either the D-pad or the analog stick.  Both work fine, but I think I like the stick better.  We'll see how it behaves once I start trying to cast spells.  The music is all here, and sounds super.
