So far as I know in SOTN Maria is only playble in the PSP version included with the Castlevania X Chronicles, and the Japan-exclusive Sega Saturn versions of the game.

Can you contact these people you've heard it from and validate it's source? I'd be very interested in trying this trick out.

Castlevania X Chronicles has Maria as playable, but she is different from her sega saturn version. She is much weaker and with the new dialogs\voice overs, nothing else new is there. No sega saturn content.

 As for Maria being playable on SotN, i don't believe that it is possible, since people who have hacked the game's sprites, they have stated that her sprite movement sheet is incomplete.

hey did you guys know that there's also a hidden 5th ending where Maria gets corrupted & transforms into a monster, then Shaft transforms then Alucard sacrifices both Maria & Richiter

crazy talk huh?

That is an unfinished ending, since the game came out rushed out, like the rest of them. Thanks Konami for ruining Castlevania games.

Yep. Anyone wanting to play as Maria would do best to obtain a copy of either of those versions, if you've already got a PSP that's definitely the cheaper option. My copy of SOTN on the Saturn cost me more than the Saturn itself! Not to mention the price of the action replay plus region unlocking memory card.

I've got my Saturn SotN copy new for 40$.

Sweet deal. Mine costed more than that and the manual was a little crinkly, but the disc appears never used. The best Castlevania specific deal I've gotten was all of the GBA games mint in the boxes in bubble wrap (they look like they were just taken out of shrinkwrap) for about $13 apiece. Or it might be when I got boxed copies of both N64 games for $30, then the manual for Legacy for $4 and the guide for like $15. Not bad at all when I consider I've seen a complete copy of LoD with the guide sell for over $100.

I've got Castlevania 64 factory sealed for 8$ and Castlevania classics for GBA factory sealed for 6$.
Here is a picture of them:

Schweet. Only other really notable deal on Castlevania I've got was Rondo of Blood for about half the asking price.

Eh I'd say it's more a case of some kids hearing about playable Maria back in the day and/or seeing screenshots from the Saturn version, then it just morphed from there the way rumors do. I think it's hard for people today (especially people who either weren't born or were adults at the time) to grasp how nebulous and uncertain information was back in the day, especially for kids and their interests.

Oh yeah? Well I had the opportunity to acquire a factory sealed SotN Tiger handheld, as well as a factory sealed Simon's Quest Tiger Wristwatch, for $24.99 each. Here are a couple of photographs for confirmation:

XD. I remember a member of my family giving out a sealed copy of that SOTN Tiger handheld to a girl he was romancing at the time (we were all in grade school and she was a huge weeaboo) I start to kick myself when I think about it but then I remember it would just be clutter even if I had it.

PS- Oh! Forgot about my boxed copy of Castlevania Adventure for $5. Mostly because I so dislike that game. Pointless thrifty nerd cred ftw.  8)

Recently I came upon an unkempt homeless man on a nearby corner, shouting about Alucard being Trevor Belmont's father or something. I was going to inquire as to why he was so distraught and had been waiting at the crosswalk when a car pulled up to the side of him. It happened so quickly that it almost felt like an intense daydream: A bag/lasso was thrown over his head from the passenger window and they accelerated. He was dragged muffling, his body turning into a bloody, limp ragdoll just before my vision lost them.

Perhaps the most haunting part of this experience was the ungodly grin across the face of the man sitting in the back seat—equally as unkempt. Maybe the homeless man owed him money; maybe fanfiction is offensive.

People sure do think up some bizarre things though.
