Title: Dracula X and Circle of the Moon coming to VC

Finally -- that's good enough news to pull me back down here. Time to put my Wii U to use again.

I already have Rondo of Blood and can easily emulate DraculaXX, but it's nice that they finally make it to Virtual Console.
(Rondo of Blood hasn't come out on Wii-U virtual console, so DraculaXX is late but gets a better overall experience, what with Miiverse and all).

Unfortunately never. There's such a small minority of people who even know it exists.

I'm in for both new VC titles. Dying to have Bloodlines on there.

But yeah... :( about The Arcade...

Post by: Abnormal Freak on September 26, 2014, 02:28:34 AM: I have the Wii U VC release for Metroid Fusion and it looks real nice, no blurring as long as the filter is turned off. Nintendo's done a nice job on converting GBA games to the big screen.

I have an Ouya with GBA.emu and they look about comparable, with the Wii U having a slightly darker palette, probably more accurate like the way their NES VC colors are.

Post by: Bloodreign on September 27, 2014, 04:23:45 AM: I have these games in various incarnations already (Rondo on PSP and Wii), plus the others mentioned on their original consoles. Good for those who no longer have those consoles, meh to those of us have the games already.

Post by: Abnormal Freak on September 27, 2014, 06:51:27 AM: I still own the carts but there's nothing quite like having all the games "under one roof" so to speak, especially when they look so nice on an HDTV.

Post by: RichterB on September 27, 2014, 06:05:27 PM: This news has been hinted at for a number of months now, as I recall. When I inevitably get a Wii U, I will be picking up Dracula X (SNES). I own the original cart, but it's consistently in my top 3 favorite games in the series. In fact, it's one of the titles that solidified me as more than a casual fan of Castlevania. It's a fun pick-up-and-play title with its arcade feel, sweet soundtrack, painterly visuals, and unique challenges. (The knock of it not being a 1-to-1 port of Rondo has really given it an unfair reputation over the years. I'm very happy to see it get this release, as it's one of those games I always want available to play.)

I really hope Bloodlines comes next, as I have never had great access to that title to fully enjoy it.
