The Castlevania: Rondo of Blood watch

[Clueless]

All right, we have established three things as on the Virtual Console to date: 1. Nintendo has Konami’s support 2. we are getting Turbo/PC Engine CD-ROM games and 3. we are getting are starting to get Japanese imports on the VC. So my question is this, when are we going to see Dracula X: Rondo of Blood on the VC?

If anybody has any information on whether or not we are experience on the Wii any time soon, this is the place to send it. Thank you.

It's certainly possible from a technical standpoint but I think with Konami releasing the game on the PSP it might be unlikely...but stranger things have happened.

S&P got released, for starters!

Yes, but Konami is not foolish enough to think all people own a PSP. I think this should be possible to release the original, untainted version for the VC even if the game goes for 1000 Wii Points.

Not necessarily, you got to keep in mind that by the time Castlevania X could be released on the VC; Chronicles will have been in the market for months. It’s not like it’s going to hurt sells (and considering that the Wii is the hot item now, it would likely boost revenues).

I think we'll see it. Konami already took the time to give it an English translation for the PSP version, all they'd have to do is slap that up on the VC and rake in free money.

The PSP version is a port, which is easy to translate. They'd need to learn and use the old PC Engine devkits in order to translate a VC release, which is not worth their time and money.


But, they could just port it as Wiiware.

The PSP version includes a 2.5D remake of Rondo of Blood, the original PC-Engine version with an English translation and Symphony of the Night. They already translated the original version as an unlockable bonus for the PSP game so all they really have to do is throw that code up on the VC.
