I love playing the old Castlevania games available on the virtual console. I would definitely like to see more of them...
Any word/rumors on future castlevania releases for the Wii virtual console?
-
I'm not sure why not more have shown up, but something tells me the GBA ones might show up on the DSiWare/3DSiWare store at some point.
I know that CV1,2,3, SuperCV4, and Rondo of Blood are on the Wii, but I don't know if Bloodlines, DraculaXX, or any of the newer ones have come out as of late.

I'm playing super CV4 right now and really enjoying it (the extra control features are great).
Usually I'll sit down, fire up my Wii and start up CV1 and run through it (sometimes I beat Drac and sometimes I run out of lives) that game can still be just mean sometimes. Then I'll fire up a different game. Currently that game has been super CV4.
I would love to see Bloodlines on virtual console. I have the genesis cart and a genesis unit but I just really enjoy playing these more on the Wii... maybe in future sometime hopefully!

Well if you have the Homebrew Channel, you can enjoy Castlevania Bloodlines and other 'not on the VC yet' titles (including Symphony of the Night and Haunted Castle).
I happen so have CV1,2,3,4,DraculaXX,Rondo of Blood, Bloodlines, CVAdventure, CVA2, CVLegends, and Symphony of the Night, on my Wii memory card (though Rondo of Blood is best if you play the VC version, rather than the emulated version, since the CD-Emulation is weird right now and the emulator needs some help; it's playable and pretty, but requires configuring).
-
The homebrew channel eh? Hmmm... I will definitely have to look into that. I have only had my Wii for a few weeks so I'm still getting familiar with all the "channel" business.
Thanks for that info I will check it out ASAP!

including Symphony of the Night
Whaaa? Psx emu for Wii? Does it run reliably?
-
Yeah, it does.
A few frames get skipped here and there, but it's fine.
XA-Audio is great, as are most of the effects. I think the only drawback I ever saw was the frameskipping in the more object-filled sections (Royal Chapel Altar Room).
I beat the whole game on there and am playing Richter Mode.
Now if only there was a Saturn emulator for it as well that was reliable.
-
At the very least, I want Bloodlines & Dracula XX, [and semi-related through Konami history Contra: Hard Corps] to be official released on Wii VC. But with talk of a Wii successor being announced in early June, I'm worried that won't happen.
-
I'd love to have Bloodlines, Dracula X, Haunted Castle (with selectable difficulty and infinite credits, plz), and the N64 games (or at least LOD) on VC. Would be aaaaawesome.
There's also, of course, The Adventure ReBirth on WiiWare.
-
Playing some SCIV today, good stuff. Forgot to turn of the HD settings and it didnt look good. Think I have III on there too, depends if I feel like some oldschool punishment... but the music is nice. If only it was the Famicom version.
Emulation is cool but sometimes I need to sit and relax and the TV. Well, relaxing as Simons jumping skills can be I guess. What new control features are there?
-
I have the Japanese Virtual Console release of III on my Wiiz, woo.
-
I'd REALLY like to have the DS Vania's available on the VC. I've officially gotten fed up with having to charge up my DS just to play PoR or OoE. I want to play those games on my big screen while sitting on my couch. 8)

Could not agree more!
-

Haha well said indeed!
-

I was just referring to the ability to whip in any direction and the whip swing thingy by holding down attack button and diddling the D-pad... just new features compared to the previous CV's is what I meant

Hell, they could even put Dawn of Sorrow on there, and for the touch screen portions(like the Magic Seals), you could easily use the WiiMote. I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't caught on to this. You could EASILY use the WiiMote in the same fashion as the stylus. They should totally put DS games on the Wii's VC.
-
Yeah but that would require them making an effort instead of just selling us what are basically straight ROMs.
-
They would have to touch up the graphics. The DS games would like shit if you blew them up to full-screen.
-
I don't know about that. Using that logic, every 2D Vania would look like shit. iirc the resolutions are just a bit smaller than SOTN's. I would just remove the seals, but they'd probably have to restructure things considering you need the seals to enter the boss doors. I guess they can just be items that open the doors but don't do anything after that!
-
If they do a Wiimote+Nunchuck thing, they can have you just point the cursor at the screen when there are the ice blocks.
The same for the Seals.
However, for the map screen (which I'd like to have) they can just do like SotN and have you press SELECT for the map and START for the inventory/stats.
-
We need Bloodlines. That's the only game that isn't on VC right now. Go figure Rondo of Blood would make it on there before Bloodlines.
-

Not at all. Pretty much all the older 2D games that have made it onto the VC thus far are presented in their original resolution....and I have no problems playing them on my 46 in LCD. As someone above mentioned, it'd be no different than playing the SotN on Xbox Live or PSN.
Nintendo could easily do this. They could give us DoS, PoR, and OoE on the VC. But I'm not not holding my breath. :-\

ZUUUUUUUUH??? NES games look amazing on my 52" HDTV. So long as no filters are applied, things look peachy-keen.
So, I'd imagine DS games looking fantastic also.
Anyway, Nintendo seems to have almost entirely dropped the VC service in the US in regard to new releases. Barely anything comes out, and it's mostly stuff I couldn't be arsed about. Although Mega Man X came out this past week, so that's something cool at least. I don't own a physical copy of it, and the emulation on the PS2 collection is kinda wonky, so I may buy it eventualalally.
-
Graphics dont matter - the point is reworking all the touch screen parts to a wii-mote format would require extra progamming and so wont ever happen. The could at least put Aria onto VC though.
-
That's probably gonna go to DSiWare or 3DSWare.
-
As far as DS or GBA game graphics translating to the big screen: I have the Gameboy adapter for my gamecube and I've played some of the GBA CV's on there and those games look pretty decent on my 42" lcd tv.... but I'm not a graphics nut either. I like good graphics of course but they wont necessarily break a game for me.
-
Yeah I have a Gameboy Player on my Gamecube and although there's slight blurring (which you can definitely deal with), the graphics look pretty damn awesome. I wish there was no blurring but I can understand it because it's being rescaled to an odd resolution.
I use the starry wallpaper background and all the three CV games look pretty awesome in there.
-
I hated the GBA Player at first, but after getting an S-Video cable for my brother's GameCube, it looked a thousand times better and nowhere near as blurry. Still had a noticeable blur, but it at least looks good now. I'm sure playing it on an HDTV with a component cable would look neat...but by that point you can just play it on a GBA emulator for the Wii.
-

Screw that, I just want Legacy of Darkness. I would buy that shit up so fast.
-

While generally true; if you do have your PC hooked up to the TV, try slapping on the HQ4 filter if your PC can handle it. NES with HQ4 in 1080p is quite a sight to behold. Clean and smooth.

This, add CV64 too and i will be happy ;D
