@ drRockso

and just like that, I no longer want this game.

Wow this and Fist on the same day. Wish this was a DSI download but WiiWare will suffice.

@Fernando
I know, I just didn't see "Rebirth". I looked at the screenshots.

It doesn't change the fact that these could all easily come out on the lacking DSiWare store.

the music is always good

@Magnalon

Shantae is coming out on the DSiWare store. That game needs such a wide berth that nothing else would be able to squeeze in.

Magnalon, I agree. It'd be nice if Nintendo released games like Castlevania: Rebirth on both the Wii and the DSi, so neither audience has to miss out. DSi is pathetic, and a game like this (or the upcoming Shantae) would really spruce it up. Hell, why not offer the audience a general account that could be tied to both a Wii and a DSi, so they could play their games at home or on the go? More people would buy from the Virtual Console if they had more control over the games.

On Topic: Yes! I've missed these level-based Castlevania games. I don't hate the SOTN ones, but they've never been "Castlevania" games to me. It was as much a crime for Konami to stop making the "Old-School" Castlevania's when SOTN became a success as it was for Nintendo to stop making 2D Mario games once SM64 became a success. I'm glad to see both companies came to their senses.

The game itself looks great (like a souped-up Super Castlevania). While my ideal Castlevania game would have 8-way whipping (screenshots don't feature it), I'll still enjoy the hell out of this as long as the level design is fun and the music is bumping. Release date please!

This was the first game I bought for my Gameboy. I saved up for a stretch and loved this game really like I have loved few, and this was on the pea green black and white Gameboy. Now twenty (gosh I am getting up there) years later I get it in full color. This is all sorts of awesome.

I am buying this. That is all.

Y'think they're bringing Belmont's Revenge into it, as part of this release? Then you'd have the Christopher arc/s all wrapped into one game.

I'll get it eventually... Right now the only thing tempting me to turn on my Wii is the FF4 sequel, but the price on it really makes me want to wait on it.
