Japanese Nintendo downloads: WiiWare ReBirth

by JC Fletcher { Oct 27th 2009 at 12:44PM }

WiiWare is officially back in Japan, with one of the most content-rich updates we'd ever seen. Just Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth would be enough to make this week remarkable, but Game Arts' Shadow Walker and Bit.Trip VOID are available as well, along with an oddity from D3!

Not enough? How about four Virtual Console games, including a Sonic & Knuckles with the lock-on feature intact? Or a budget DSiWare game about blowing up asteroids to save the Earth?

Sonic & Knuckles WITH lock-on?

SOLD!

...well, when it comes to the US that is.

That would make it... the 6th copy I`ve bought of S&K, but it`s just so fun.

It's too bad WiiShop channel is region locked otherwise I would have already downloaded Castlevania by now........sigh..........guess we have to wait a little longer!!! DAMN IT!!!!

I just hope that they haven't changed Rebirth so much so that the original game is lost. Because nothing that's been shown so far (which admittedly isn't much) really looks like Castlevania Adventure.

I'll still be buying it the second it comes out over here, of course. I just hope that it doesn't end up being Castlevania Adventure in name only. Because that's one of my all time favorites in the series.
