Hard-To-Find SNES Title Castlevania Dracula X Now Available On Wii U
One of the hardest to find entries in the Castlevania saga is now available to download on the Wii U's Virtual Console.
A remake of shorts of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood , which chronologically takes place immediately before Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Castelvania Dracula X released for the Super Nintendo in 1995. It's one of the Super Nintendo's harder-to-come-by games, and is currently valued at being worth $550 for a complete version of the game on videogames.pricecharting.com. You can check out a trailer for its Virtual Console release below.
Our Take
Recently, I put together a list of the Super Nintendo's rarest games and whether or not they were available on the Virtual Console. At the time, Castlevania Dracula X was not available, and I said it should be the next game to be made available for the Virtual Console. Happy to see its finally available in an easy-to-find way.
