Topic: Castlevania III Dracula's Curse on Wii's VC

I'm waiting for the N64 Castlevanias to go up since I've never played them.

Yeah, I'll probably be waiting a long time.

wait... wait... back up... theyve got homebrew workin on wii now?

Um... yes, yes they do.  And when they did, so did I.  So I do.  Have had the pleasure of having it for over a week.  It rocks.  Homebrew/Emulation.  >_>

I just wish the NES emulator didn't suck. It'd be good if not for the fact that the audio is all glitchy.

Srsly, gaiz...Soul Blazer rocks my dick. I can't wait to play through Illusion of Gaia next.

The audio is a little... garbled I'd say, but it's not super-duper-major of an issue (to most people... to me and Freak it is, though... but still, playing Bayou Billy again after all these years, lolz).

Freak, don't forget to play Terranigma after you're done with Illusion of Gaia.

Don't bother they suck.  If you want to see them, you can watch them on youtube.  I've played them and the controls aren't that responsive and besides, they aren't even a part of the official cannon anymore.

I disagree completely with this post, heh.  The graphics were fine for its time, as were the controls considering the n64 controller setup (but on an Emulator just remap the D-Pad to a Right-Analog for Legacy of Darkness and you have great Camera Controls).

Plus, it doesn't matter whether something is canon or not, it's still worth playing (I know Circle of the Moon is fun whether canon or not).

I have to agree with you, but many others do not. Anyway, I hate that moon/sun card shit, as well as the (imo) buggy camera and overall controlls, also the typical find-key-open-door-stuff. Dunno, but Castlevania has to be nonstop-action. The 64-CVs aren't.

...IMO

Was already thinking of it. :o I just found out there's apparently a fourth game in the "series," called The Granstream Saga for PSX, so I bought that off eBay for $12.01. :o

I love CV64 and LOD. They have their problems, but they're really fun games regardless. And yeah, the graphics are just fine. Camera is a little weird but not terrible. There's so much mood to those games, and I dig the area designs.

Hey, this is excellent. I have exactly 500 Wii points left, and I was just about ready to waste them on something else.

I have the game running on Wii homebrew, but the degrading sound is too distracting. Also, it loads up Super Mario Bros. in the negative zone...

Ammmm.....come again?

Seriously, CV64 just rules my socks off. So many fond gaming memories with that one. Loved it so much I even made a website for it and (when it came out) LOD back in the day. Far as I know, it was the most comprehensive CV64 and LOD website on the 'net. :o Mainly 'cos nobody else cared about the games to give them any attention. ;p Had all the secrets and walkthroughs listed before anybody had added anything to GameFAQs, and there was a profile page with pictures and art (whenever I could find them) for every character and enemy in the game.

...But it's dead now. ;p

I also feel kinda like a homo admitting this, but it's also the game that turned me into a full-fledged Castlevania fan. I'd played Super Castlevania IV plenty of times since it came out, and I had the opportunity to play Simon's Quest for a few days or so when a friend of my brother's left it at our house. But my brother never owned any other CV games until SOTN came out, which I also played religiously. After playing CV64 and devoting a website to it and everything, I decided I really wanted to play the rest of the games, so I bought the three NES games from Funcoland (aw yeah, just before they went out of business or changed their name or whatever), picked up a Genesis 3 for $15 and bought Bloodlines, and was lucky enough to find one sole copy of Chronicles, the only copy I've ever seen. Was livin' it up for quite a while, delving myself into both the Castlevania and Contra series and praising Konami with my ceaseless boner. :)

[Rodriguezjr]

Yes, now I guess all there is left is Bloodlines on the Genesis and Rondo of Blood, unless you already have DXC of course. Also, the N64 Castlevania games.

[Abnormal Freak]

Already got Rondo on the Virtual Console. But yes, a US release would be really swell. I'd buy it. And Bloodlines. And the SNES Dracula X, which I think is a really swell game. And I'd definitely buy LOD on the VC for double-the-res goodness.
