Title: Castlevania Bloodlines VC
Post by: Dino_Dan on June 08, 2008, 03:23:19 AM
It's probable that Konami will eventually release Castlevania Bloodlines on VC. I'm sure everyone knows this, but a beta version of the game had additional areas, at least if this site is to be believed:

Are these shots genuine? If so, my thinking is this: if these areas that didn't make it into the final game were complete enough to be included in a beta that would be reviewed by gaming magazines, then could they not be cleaned up and completed, and included in a VC version of the game? It doesn't seem likely Konami would bother, but if fans requested it then surely it could be considered. I'd certainly buy it, since it's my first and favourite Castlevania. Your opinions?

*sigh*

Virtual Console games are nothing but ports. ROMs, if you will. No added/bonus content is in any games.

But the beta version with that content already exists, they could just port that, it's not as if anything has to be added. And is VC games being straight ports an actual limitation, or just that additional stuff has never been done? I suppose it could be WiiWare instead... It wouldn't really seem to fit into the category of classic game or new game.

The only beta with the zeppelin stage and the other extras is in the hands of a collector, and they aren't willing to get it dumped.

Who this collector is, no one knows (I doubt the collector is really named Tara).

I'd settle for the normal version. VC is how Im getting to play all these older ones. They haven't put out a CV on there for a while. Lets hope we get RoB sometime.

Wait whats a Zepplin? For some reason I think its some sort of blimp.. but I could be wrong. If it was in fact an airship, then that would have been an awesome stage.

Yeah it's an old-fashioned blimp, and it was originally supposed to be in the background of the Munitions Factory.

Only woulda made that level better as it would add even more to the World-War-theme setting :(
