Uh Oh, Castlevania: The Adventure Rated for 3DS VC

Eh... as a castlevania fan I have pretty much no interest in the GB titles.

I loved this game when it was first released. A portable Castlevania game was a dream come true for me. I played the hell out of this game. That being said, the sequel Belmont's Revenge was a much more well-rounded title.

Never played a Castlevania before, but I might download this when it arrives in the US. I know it's regarded as a weaker entry in the series, but due to the inexpensive VC pricing, I'm willing to take the risk.

I say that if Konami has been not wanting to do the Wii VC then this is the opportunity to send them a message that we want their games on the VC. So reguardless of if you want the game or not everyone should get it first day of release.

Well, that is good news that Castlevania is finally gracing the 3DS eShop. I probably won't pick this one up since I already own Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth on WiiWare. I am looking forward to seeing Belmont's Revenge and Kid Dracula. Hopefully we will get those titles as well.

I used to have this. I didn't think it was that great at the time.

Hope the much superior sequel arrives quickly after: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvzdacISqt4

Aside from Tetris this was my first GB game. I can't wait to download it again. Plus the restore points should help me finally beat level 4

My first non-Tetris GB title too. I remember beating it, then having some jerkoff in High School stealing it from me a few months later. May have to pick this one up again when its released in the States.

This is a tricky proposition for me. I do not enjoy this game very much. Not that it is terrible but...OK in what universe am I going to put down DoS, PoR, OoE, or Drac X Chronicles (just keeping it portable) to play THIS. On the other hand, they are testing the waters...so I'll probably buy it. Why? The next two GB games I DO enjoy somewhat, and I would also love it if they get around to putting GBA titles in the store. Circle of the Moon was my first GBA game and would be a day 1 download for me.

@Pocketim: I haven't played this game but what I've heard this game is bad for few reasons. It's very slow paced, has a timer, is short and the jumping is hard. Most of the time you have to be very precise with jumping and sometimes you have to take steps very carefully so you have one foot in the air before making the jump to get to the other side. Jumps are so small and ledges are so big.

It's a gameboy game, so they probably won't release it in America.

I've already played and beat this game and I didn't enjoy it a lot, it's just OK, so I'll pass... Anyway DOES SOMEBODY KNOW WHY KONAMI ISN'T DEVELOPING A NEW 3DS CASTLEVANIA GAME?????? All the games for the DS were great and they developed a lot of games for that platform, I thought they'll develop more Castlevanias for the 3DS in the first year one game at least! BUT NO!!! Anyone knows WHY??? @James Any ideas why? THANKS!

Despite owning the cart (and it being really 'meh'), I'm gonna download!!! 3DS needs more old school Gameboy!

@metafaniel How do we know it isn't developing one? We just might not have heard about it yet

@James I hope you're right hoho! It's just I can't wait hehe u.u It'll be great to see new ideas in this probable new game if it exists =) More back to the roots + originality and less SotN similarities

@metafaniel I agree that I want my castlevania closer to I-IV or Dracula X and further away from SofN. Loved being able to play the PC Engine-only Drac X after all these years on Virtual Console. Then downloaded SotN on XBLA and... just couldn't get into it. Ditto with Portrait of Ruin. Just give me the straight-ahead jump-and-whip action of the earlier games with amazing 3D parallax and new weapons/monsters/levels. 3D Classics Castlevania 3??

@Joshers744

Yup, exactly my thoughts when I saw this. It's a shame too, I'd definitely download it. I didn't play the game when it originally came out but I did enjoy Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth on WiiWare so this is definitely on my list of most wanted 3DS VC games. Too bad Reggie and the other clowns at NoA don't care about their fanbase over here though so even if we do get this it won't be for another 3 years.

You say that this game is bad compared to Castlevania 2? Jeez, it must be freaking horrible, then.

I probably won't get this if/when the VC rises from the grave, and I'd probably just get the WiiWare remake if I change my mind, but it gives me some hope of seeing Belmont's Revenge, which I've always heard great things about.

Oh, and yes, we need a new Super Metroid-style Castlevania for a Nintendo portable soon. I can't believe it's been almost four years since Order of Ecclesia came out!

Never played this game, but more Castlevania is always a good thing. This will at least be more of a Castlevania game than Lords of Shadow (good game, but not a true Castlevania game).

This was one of my very first Game Boy games. The nostalgia with this game for me is massive.

Can't wait for a new castlevania and metroid for the 3ds. How long do i have to wait for this to happen?

I want this in america
