  • @nintendo1889x yep, thats a lasting memory of Konami arcade games in the 80's and 90's

  • Love the Orchestra Hits in this and Contra Rebirth, the same ones use the TMNT games!

  • is this game worth downloading?i have played several castlevania games such as SOTN and chronicles,do you think i should get it for 1000 points?i have gradius rebirth already

  • @SAIKORO93Wii You will ploy through it pretty fast, and it isn't so hard unless you do play on Hard mode where there's less platforms to jump on and more aggressive enemies, but the arranged music and the looks of the game makes the whole experience worth it. :3

  • is this game as hard as the nes ones?

  • @qazwsxyhnujm123 Actually, I think this game is much, much easier than the NES games.You get 6 stages in this game, where the NES games offers more. This game is more of a throw-back to the Game Boy games, and is based on the first Castlevania game on Game Boy as well.

  • I love how "Konami-ish" the music for this game was. Those synths... definitely one of their traits!

    It may not quite be a classic but they did a good job with this game. I hope the Rebirth Team get to make more of them!

  • I'll take this game over Lords of Shadow, but this doesn't even touch the masterpiece that is Super Castlevania 4 on SNES.

  • @msw0322 I agree~ Akumajou Dracula on Super Famicom (or SCV4 on SNES) is my favorite of all time. Great music, it looks so cool, and it requires reflexes and skill to beat. That, Akumajou Densetsu (CV3 on NES) and Chi no Rondo (Rondo of Blood) are all great. Actually, all the games are awesome in their own way~ :3

  • Whats with Item crash?

  • Wow. Just... wow.

    Bag of coins SFX = Castlevania 1 Bag of coins.

    Big hear SFX = Castlevania 1 Big heart.

    Rosario SFX = Castlevania 1 Rosario

    Meat SFX = Castlevania 1 Meat + Hidden Bag of coins

    The fireballs may be a modified version of the Flame Whip in Castlevania 2.

    Where can I get this game?!

  • @regalia1 Some of the SFX in Bloodlines were also incorporated (small heart, single coin item)

  • Nice version of Reincarnated Soul !

  • I love this game is this like the remake of the first castlevania from NES??

  • @minlee1 This is kinda like a remake of the Game Boy game Castlevania the Adventure (including the story and characters), but all the stages are completely new.

  • Love the YM2612 feeling!

  • @nintendo1889x WHAT

  • @haxor758 I mean the sound imitates YM2612-era sound processors

  • @nintendo1889x oh i see

  • the music sounds very SNES-ish

  • @DarkRetroFan64

    Actually it sounds more Sega-ish to me. ^^;

  • The 'instruments' remind me of TMNT Turtles in Time

  • this game is most castlevania than lord of shadows lol.

  • @deltok I found Lords of Shadow quite good, its just something very different from the other old school CVs, so you can't really compare the games. Sure, if you want the old school platformer type and buy Lords of Shadow, a 3D fighter much like God of War, what do you expect? There is only one Castlevania I didn't enjoy playing, and that was Lament of Innocence. I played it for the story only, the rest of the CVs had good gameplay.

  • @GeneralErlend

    i know pal. lord of shadows is good all overall awesome game, BUT JUST NOT CASTLEVANIA. maybe another new saga era is better for this game.

    the only great castlevania in 3d for me is LoD.

  • Immenso.

    Come la notte.

    Eternal, just the night.

  • To all you none Wii owners who're so desperate for this game, just buy a Wii for crying out loud. Get over your "It's for kids" and you might find you enjoy more than this game alone for the system!!!

  • @Tube2097

    I gotta say the more I play wii the more I'm convinced its a game system designed for kids and chicks and other non hard core gamers, but hey chicks like wii and I like chicks, buy this game was a bonus for me, but I gotta say the PS3 is the gaming system for true gamers

  • @bfg2600 I own a PS3/Xbox 360 and I think you're seriously mistaken to mislabel the Wii as such. I also find it shows disrespect to me and other adults who own the Wii. The Wii does suffer from alot of poor titles that do nothing for it's image, but there ARE some excellent HARDCORE games available for it if you happen to overlook the crap filling the shelf space. I won't try to win you, but you are wrong to blind eye the Wii if you're into Hardcore games, because it does have some great ones

  • @Tube2097 Your comment about the Wii needs more thumbs up. ^^b

  • Shoulda bought a Wii fellas. :)

  • This is so old-school. It's perfect.

  • @djrockgt It is, so I don't see why people complain so bad for a 1080p PS3 version over this Wii version when old school is all about these kinda visuals, eh? 

  • @Tube2097 That's why you get all three consoles. Duh.

    I don't care if anyone teases me about my Wii and my DS. I'm all about my Sonic Colors, Final Fantasy 3D remakes, and Super Mario Galaxy. It's fun. I like it. The end.

    To each his own. There are way better things in this world to argue about. Preferably in real life, and not on a YouTube thread.

  • So amazing. and lol @ the port beggers.

  • Sounds like an old arcade game, like Sunset Riders, or Turtles in Time.

  • @silenceofthehills Oh man, I just noticed that some of the sound effects in the music are EXACTLY the ones from Turtles in Time!

    That's it. I'm breaking out the SNES for the holidays!

  • At first sight of this game, I wet my pants.

    Until I heard that it's only on Wii, my pants is dry like nothing happened.

  • @prinnyXdood Then wet them all over again when you get a Wii and see how good the game is! It's not that expensive you know! You telling me the glowing disc tray isn't enough to show off the sleek system before booting this game up?

  • ps3 plz... they need to up the resolution a bit with smoother animation

  • ps3 plz...

  • This is the classic Castlevania that I grew up on. Damn, if only it was out on PS3...

  • this game seems good

  • Comment removed

  • I think Konami should do this with all the handheld Castlevania games.

  • @BillyCauseyjr for those who don't know, the adventure was originally a Gameboy game.

  • Didn't know dollars existed during that time.

  • Is it me, or does the whip sound like a dog barking?

  • @jstephenj damn ur right. it sounds like a dog barking,lol

  • i love the japanese text it goes ve well with this game.

  • Is this still John Morris or a different character?

  • @Grast01

    Christopher Belmont

  • FUCK YEAH, CASTLEVANIA WILL NEVER DIE! I grew up with this series.. It will never let us down. Pure old school fun right here, and a great soundtrack to match. Most of these new gen games can't compare

  • @InvaderRaccoon Most of those songs are on castlevania adventures 1 & 2 on the old gameboy .

  • What game system was this for?

  • @bwd81977 This is for the Wii's downloadable service, "Wiiware".

  • omg got wii points cant wait to play but mine bro runed awey with the controler

  • Nothing is more epic than 8-bit organ music. I love the music remixes

  • The music, it reminds me of turtles in time...for SNES.....same people of course, Konami, I like it, its a total throwback castlvania game....might need to download

  • It's a fusion of Rondo of Blood and Bloodlines (Genesis). I like it. I never cared for Super Castlevania 4. Symphony was good, but too easy. The GBA games were all right, never played the DS games.

  • yeah!! Bloodlines BGM!!!!

  • looks similar to sega or arcade games

  • I´m big fa, but the castlevania 1 too easy, just one life to finish... I want remake castlevania 3 (play with alucard...).

    Sou um grande fã, mas o castlevania 1 é muito fácil, finalizo com 1 vida... E quero o castlevania 3 refeito (jogar com alucard....)

  • I hate the mudmen they are soo annyoing and never stop coming

  • Nice ending pose! xD

  • OK...

    This might well make me consider getting a Wii sooner than later!

  • parece mas van helsing q castlevania pero es ta bien

  • @maestroborracho2007 que le ves de van helsing a esto tio? xDDDD

  • el unico fallo ke le veo es que han reutilidazo los FX de las tortugas ninja en el tiempo y no me convence nada... :/

  • que tonto eres

  • @Jecht111

    Y tu gilipollas retrasado

  • sweet

  • nice , they used Bloodlines stage 1 music.

  • @InShatteredMolds Yeah, I noticed that to, I guess because theres so many vampire killer remixes.

  • I've been playing all CV games since the first one on the NES and this one has been extremely enjoyable after the long row of Metroid-style CastleVanias in recent years. Hard but never unfair. Great game.

  • is John morris??

  • this guy is Christopher Belmont.  He was about a century before Simon Belmont.

  • MASTERPIECEEE

  • The avgn is happy! i think...

  • I am SO glad they remixed Reincarnated Soul for this game... that song was amazing, and deserved some recognition.

  • sotn was the best one to me

  • THIS... THIS IS A CASTLEVANIA GAME!!!

  • @ecco419 Yes......Konami has been on point with these Rebirth games, I love the Contra one too....maybe we'll see a Metal Gear game repackaged like :O

  • @skedardestroyer that would be fucking INSANE

  • @ecco419 the new one is good two/

  • @metachozo yes and no, LOS was a good game but did not feel like Castlevania at all.

  • @BillyCauseyjr thats YOUR opinion. MY opinion is its one of the best in the series...and according to the ratings on gamestop...im not the only one.

  • man castlevania never cease to amaze me with these awesome sound track

  • @jojojo9771 if only Lords of shadow had the classic tunes.

  • Hahaha. I love those old school Konami orchestra hits.

  • Not shitty, just old-school.

    Não é merda, só da velha guarda.

  • @kasilbrazil03 Youre just mad because you were never able to be a single castlevania game in your life ;D

  • Man, you're kidding me. I just beat all of them. CV3 is my favorite. And YES, I beat the original CV adventure, and it's absolutely not like this modern crap.

    I'm a huge fan of Old School CV and steroided Belmonts, that's why I think they deserve a DECENT remake, and not this shit made by that emo IGA.

  • y u think this is a shit? want some old school game graphics?

  • @kasilbrazil03 and if the "shit" that IGA is bad, then how do you explain SotN?

  • because he was only the assistant director and a programmer for SoTN.

    He didn't make that game. He did make MOST of the ones after it though, which were just unoriginal SoTN clones

  • @orinanime Circle of the moon was Great and the rest of the GBA games were decent. It wasn't that they were unoriginal. Its just that they had a feel of a completely different game.

  • @misha130

    no, i mean that they weren't original, because they did NOT feel like a different game.

    They were ALL Symphony of the Night clones.

  • The game looks Great. It reminds me a little of Castlevania Chronicles, but with a more clean Graphics. A couple of Things, though:

    1) Some Sound Effects looks Cartoonish, like when the Skeleton throw a Bone, I think I heard that Sound in a Tiny Toon Game :S

    2) I've Played Super Castlevania IV and I found it kinda Boring. Bloodlines, Though, I felt it Really Amazing. The characters are smaller, yes, but in many ways I found it Superior to SC IV. Just my opinion :S

  • Ha...am I hearing sound effects (from the eyeballs) straight outta the old He-Man cartoon series? Awesome!

  • i wonder a Super Castlevania IV remix!

  • why they would make a remake of a remake? there're too many remakes of the original story (featuring simon)... why not a remake of dracula's curse? it would be a lot better, huh? ;)

  • @LeoPedrozo ur mom sucks some good cock ;-)

  • @izzyidl1 you know, i've never asked if she does it.

    this is my opinion, boy. if you don't like it, feel free to criticise. god bless your mother, she surely have given a good education to her son.

  • @mruppel2 ZOMFG!!!! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!

  • WHERE IS BATTLE OF THE HOLY?

    bloodlines music doesnt fit here...

  • This is a remake using the Castlevania I and II from GB.

  • Sounds like bloodlines of MEGADRIVE!

  • Comment removed

  • Game is great,but too easy

  • It's perfect for someone starting out though... Especially since most of the games in the series are unbearably unforgiving.

  • Oh come on! I was hoping they were gonna actually remix the Stage 1 song from the original Castlevania Adventure.

    It was one of my favorite themes from the series.

  • God, the game looks so clean. I was worried that the game would be phoned in and rehash some Dracula X sprites and cells. Clearly they didn't.

    And the price (1,000 Wii Points or $10) feels spot on. It's about time the industry realizes that games cost too much. Good for Kanami! I hope they clean up with it and do it again.

    The only thing I can even remotely criticize is you can tell they didn't do the rotoscoping that was in Symphony, but for the budget I can see why...

    I can't wait!

  • SOTN is a classic, of course, and I'm thankful that it revivied the Castlevania series. But I'm soooo tired of playing through the exact same game over and over and over and over. Six Symphony clones on the Nintendo handhelds, and every one was a cakewalk.

    I'd most like to see another Simon's Quest or Dracula's Curse...yeehh!! Konami needs to take cues from New Super Mario Bros.

    This game totally makes up for that shit fighitng title. Yuck! All is forgiven.

  • YES! Simon's quest would be awesome if they fixed all of it's flaws.

  • wow its the giant eye boss!!! :OO that try to kill you with litte eyes XD

  • for to long have we castlevania fans wished to explore outside the castle once again, and not another SoTN clone. This looks amazing, only grip i have is they should have given us the SUPER Castlevania IV whip controls.

  • The music sounds more like Sega Genesis/MegaDrive than it does any Nintendo console. which is a good thing. ;)

  • @JokinJoe I prefered the SNES sound on Castlevania IV personally, it allowed for more tone. Megadrive always seemed a bit screechy to me.

  • I LOVED the music on Castlevania IV. It was so spooky and atmospheric, and really showcased the music sampling on the Super Nintendo. I remember this one time I was playing while my dorm roommate was sleeping, and he told me the moody piano music (waterfall scene) gave him nightmares. Hah!

    Good times. Konami has been phoning in this series for too long. Good to see a real Castlevania again.

  • @gamesDAMNED

    Super Castlevania IV in my humble opinion had the best damn intro and introduced one of the best damn Castlevania songs in existence (Simon's Theme was all that it was called)

    I miss the glory days of the 8-way whip.

  • Can't wait the European version is out sometime in 2010.

  • oh god, castlevania bloodlines BGM on the first stage!!!! *orgasm*

  • great bgm!! i love it :D

  • badass

  • This has nothing to do with Adventure...

  • Will it come out for xbox live arcade?Castlevania is one of my favorite franchise.

  • Never. The Rebirth series is Wii exclusive.

  • Damn!

  • Well, if you need a CV fix, download CV SOTN, if you haven't already. You can also wait for CV Lords of Shadow.

  • I got SOTN downloaded got it for the PS1 too,beat it about 5 times.Can't wait for LOS.I thinki it would be great if konami would do a remake of all the CV from the 8 bit and 16 bit with updated graphics like Bionic Comm. RA.I'll be more than happy to pay $15 for any of those.

  • Nope it's exclusive to wii-ware.

  • I Dont care how mocuh it costs really! I WILL get this game!

  • This feels and looks alot like super castlevania 4(wich i like alot :D)

  • it's 1000

  • they should have remade the SNES version.,, only being able to whip to the side is lame in 2009

  • can someone plz tell me how much this game is gonna be in wii points

  • @milashiv 10 dollars

  • Comment removed

  • The Japanese one was 1000. The English might be the same. ^^

  • I was happy when the music changed from "Vampire Killer" to "Reincarnated Soul." At first, I was like, "ugh, again?", and then I started to boogie like John Morris.

  • Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth (ドラキュラ伝説 リバース, Dracula Densetsu ReBirth?) is a side-scrolling action platform game by Konami released for the Wii in 2009 as a WiiWare title. It is currently available in Japan, with releases in North America and Europe scheduled for sometime in the near future.

    Bitchin'! XD Can't wait!

  • Nothing like a little Holy Water to clear your eyes. Hehe.

  • This reminds me of all the games mixed together. The sounds and music. Its cool.

  • Just to make sure...The theme that plays for the giant Ghost Eye is "Demonic Revival", the main boss theme from Haunted Castle, yes?

  • They need to get the lead out of their ass and make this fucking game now.

  • You can rejoice as it was finally released on the NA WiiWare

  • When does this come out!?

  • Hopefully tomorrow....

    C'mon Nintendo. Don't let me down.

  • It looks like a SNES/GBA game but sound like a Sega Genesis game (FM synthesis)

  • Man, I cannot wait. HUUUGE fan of Castlevania. I love the fact that they remade tunes from other games, like the stage 1 theme from Castlevania: Bloodlines. Can't fucking wait.

  • The new game looks absolutely brilliant. I missed out on the original adventure of Christopher Belmont, and just to get this game, I might purchase a Wii.

  • Original adventure of Christopher Belmont... um, unless I'm mistaken, that was Castlevania Adventure for Game Boy.

  • @DBoy2029 You are correct, and this is a remake. :D

  • Ah... that would explain the giant eyeballs (which appeared only in the GB Castlevania games pre GBA.

    And that boss battle--that was the theme of Dracula's second form in Haunted Castle (the arcade game). They must love recycling old game musics! They're so old they're new! :D

  • @DBoy2029 Having bought the game and played through most of it, I kind of have to retract my last statement. Its labeled as a remake, was advertised as a remake, but its actually almost nothing like the original Castlevania Adventure. It just has the eyeballs and a fire shooting whip.

  • The thing about Contra ReBirth and now Castlevania ReBirth, is that they're not sequals to the previous titles. they feel like remixes with alot of the stuff thrown in from the previous games yet with new stuff added. hell all of the music is remixed and from previous games, so in ways it's kind of hard to compare this to the previous titles from the franchise...

  • anyways! Castlevania ReBirth is still a solid title. I love the 2nd and 3rd stages music, even though they are remixes. And It's the easiest Castlevania game i've ever played which is somewhat dissapointing. but hey man, definintly a step up from Contra ReBirth. Castlevania ReBirth is definitly the weakest castlevania game besides II: Simon's Quest, but it's stil a wicked game.

  • Holy Crap, IT'S SO KICK ASS!

  • Getting this on day 1!

  • when will this be released in the U.S?

  • January of 2010

  • Damn Guess I have to hold 1000 Wii points for a while.

  • God, Castlevania for all eternity!!!

  • friggin LOVE this music! it's the same one as the Level 1 music in castlevania 4.. just beautiful =)

  • WRONG, it's the Level 1 music from castlevania bloodlines

  • yeah you're right, got a bit confused there between CV 4 and bloodlines hehe

  • the music reminds me of the music from Bloodlines, but the gameplay think has the most influence from Dracula X

  • The music is Bloodlines first stage :D

  • i know that rocks.

    COntra Rebirth has the FInal Boss theme from Contra Hard Corps too

    Capcom and Konami are proving that 2d is immortal.
