Castlevania Now Available On The Wii U Virtual Console
The original Castlevania – the one that started the Belmonts' centuries long battle – is available now on the Wii U's Virtual Console.
Super Castlevania IV released back in October on the Wii U Virtual Console, so Nintendo is releasing the series out of order, but there's nothing wrong with that. As per usual, the game is discounted if you owned the Wii Virtual Console version of the game. You can check out the trailer for the game below.
Our Take
I'm happy to see Castlevania showing up on the service. I have expressed my concern about the Wii U's Virtual Console before. It has been slow going, but I am happy to see Nintendo filling out the library, even if it's taking a little longer than I'd like.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
