Here it is, at last. Solid information that there really will be a Castlevania Rebirth. More specifically, it’s Castlevania: the Adventure Rebirth! Looks like a nice flashy remake of the first Gameboy game is in the cards for WiiWare. How exciting!
I wonder if this is just what IGA has been up to since the rug was pulled out from under him with Lords of Shadow. Looks like I called it. Not like it took much to figure that out.
The rating, by the way, will be T for Teen. Some amount of gore in this one.
Rating summary: This is a side-scrolling action game in which players battle against monsters in Dracula’s castle. Players use a chained whip to fight their way through halls and dungeons filled with zombies, skeletons, flying eyeballs, and bats. The enemy creatures frequently shoot projectiles and attack players in hand-to-hand combat. If players sustain too much damage, they keel over and emit a burst of red blood. Some rooms in the castle also have spikes or spears stained with red, blood-like splotches.

Contra ReBirth is a pretty good game, hopefully they will do the same job with this one. I was wondering if Konami was going to release another Castlevania game next year besides Lords of Shadow. I look forward to The Adventure remake, but am still hoping for a new DS title next year as well.
