xemnas_is_god

suck?? suck?? BLASPHEMY!!! is a "hard" old-school clasic CV game!!!!

did you play the one of the PSP, the unlock original one?? well is that one...

i am not a huge fan of the virtual console CVs, i prefer handheld.... MY OPINION DOES NOT MATTER ANYWAY....

*cries*:cry:

hellow..

I was wondering any news on this one? I`m not able to find anything....

Semi have you heard anything on the chapel? or anyone anywhere? 

:(

nope. If you wanna play, your gonna have to homebrew your Wii, get DXC or use an Emusemianonymous

I do not like you anymore... :P

I have DXC.. but I want it on my Wii as well. Especially bc I do not own a psp, so I have to borrow one everytime I want to play it (everytime = 1 every 3 month when time aloud for me to go in a trip..)

I'm confused now.... is it or is it not coming to NA? :?OmegaAce1313

apparentely no :(

which remind me what happen with Bloolines comming to VC? :? :roll:

If they pull this crap again with not releasing Rondo in America, I'll be pretty mad...ChapstheF0rtune

and here i was thinking I was mad about the topic :lol: you are so beyond me :lol: 

I like you :P

once in a blue moon, we get a CV game. We got 3, so we'll have to wait another few months so games like Wonder Boy and Top Pilot can get releasedsemianonymous

that is true... as long as they bring it.. and hopefully before next year :P I mean it was release a looooong time ago in JP already :evil:

i hope we get it soon theirs still a few Castlevania VC games we need elbert_b_23

chang_1910

WHAAAAAAAAAAT

Seriously! :lol: Oh Chang, you MUST play Bloodlines! It's so awesome.OmegaAce1313

This is an understatement. IMO it is the second best console CV, under SCV4. I really liked Drac X too but the fight with Drac was the worst out of the entire series. I mean come on!? Fighting him on pillars.......PILLARS! :evil: :lol:

@E1 i hated drac fight on X life means nothing when 1 hit just pushes one off the pillers for a 1 hit death. we need bloodlines more then rondo of blood but we still need 64 castlevania also just give us all castlevanias konamielbert_b_23

Haha! :lol: I agree. But, they have to build our anticipation and give us topics to discuss. I bet Konami monitors the different CV borads just to see what the new-buzz is saying.

Well hopefully it will come over here in the US/EU, I guess I would get it since I haven't play it, plus you can never complain about 2D games :D. Serbine

Once they release here, trust me.....you will love them. :D

[QUOTE="OmegaAce1313"]Seriously! :lol: Oh Chang, you MUST play Bloodlines! It's so awesome.e1shw

I KNOW!!! I just do not have a way to do it... I WANT THIS.... NOW... well, no in couple of days after I`m done with CV:Rebirth :P

update on 1/26/10 Thanks to Serbine :D:D

I guess that now is just matter of time..

oh no, not March please, that month is COMPLETELY reserved for other games (I pity the game that comes out in March that is not GoW3 or FF13 :lol: )

They should release it by Feb!

agree.. that said, those games are ps3, so the ppl buying RoB on the VC may not be affected as much(thus I really doubt there are many wii owners that do not have a ps3 or a 360 :P )

that said.. I do not care.. I`m getting RoB whenever it comes... 

and I thought you guys had more news...

*sits again to wait for news*

well..

if I never loved hudson, I do now..

a LOT  :P ...

well..

if I never loved hudson, I do now..

a LOT  :P ...

chang_1910

I totally agree, that little bee is starting to look like it has fangs.... :lol:

Poltergeist: That a great bit of Info, Thanks :D.

Chang: Well Hudson are the one making the Calling game for Wii, they did The Adventure Island games as well as Onslaught(Wiiware), Wing Island, Help Wanted, Diner Dash, Kororinpa: Marble Mania, Star Soldier Series, Dungeon Explorer Series, Bonk Series, they also help with doing the Mario Party games which are alot of fun and the Harvest Moon Series which are pretty cool games as well.

Omega: I should check out a Bomberman game, also I want to play Bloody Roar Primal Fury on the Gamecube that game look really cool :D.

Look at this guys, No Wonder :lol:.

Hudson Soft Company, Limited (株式会社ハドソン, kabushiki-gaisha Hadoson?) is an electronic entertainment publisher headquartered in Japan. It was founded on May 18, 1973. Initially, Hudson dealt with personal computer products, but has expanded to the development and publishing of video games, mobile content, and video game peripherals. As of 2003, the company employs over 500 people, with offices in Sapporo, Tokyo, and California. Hudson Soft is owned by Konami Corporation. Despite being called "Hudson Soft," they are commonly referred to in interviews and references as "Hudson" without the word "Soft."

Also more Castlevania: Rondo of Blood News

If the ESRB rating wasn't enough of a confirmation, we spoke with Hudson about Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.

The game is coming to North America as a Virtual Console import. A representative said Castlevania: Rondo of Blood will be "released shortly" and "it will not be released in English, however."

Konami made a Rondo of Blood translation for Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, a 2.5D PSP remake that includes the original game, in 2007. Unfortunately, it won't be used for the digital re-release.

Siliconera

If this is the case, I might as well get the JP version. I hope the will translate they menus at least.

@Serbine: Great job on putting together the info. :)

Omega: Yeah, I guess I'll check them both out than :D.

e1shw: No Problem ;), it kind of sucks because if I end up getting it how I'm suppose to know what going on If I can't read the texts :lol:.

Yeah, it sure would've been nice if they translated it :(.

It has an ESRB rating? Awesome!

It makes sense that it would be in Japanese. If they had made any alterations they would have had to make it a WiiWare game. The thing I find surprising is Hudson publishing it. :?

Hey, thought I might throw this in here. On the Wikipedia page under media it lists Virtual Console as one of them.

Pixel-Perfect

True that, I still think that from a marketing standpoint there would be better sales if it were done as a translated WiiWare release. In Japanese only the truly hardcore will buy it, they could sell more if it was a translated release. I believe Hudson (or Hudson Soft if you prefer) is currently owned by Konami, so there is no real reason for them to NOT be the ones releasing it. On that note though (and this may just be false hope) I see no reason for them to rebrand Rondo to Hudson if they aren't changing SOMETHING. I can hope and dream still at least...

@Serbine: wow... nice thx for the info... great find/job

well I know w afew ppl that would kill to have the original JP, after all we have already seen the translation. Is true it may ahve sell more, but when the fame it has is going to sell anyway.

and I`m excited.. I want to see the original RoB :D

also there is no more to understand, and in either case there is gamefaqs`s scripts. :P

e1shw: Great tibit of Info :D, also oh that why Symphony of The Night started out like that, and two of three characters are in this game.

Lard: Yeah, You do have a point why would they do that, if they're not going to add anything.

Chang: You're right, it doesn't really matter atleast we're getting, I guess I'll have to go to Gamefaq whenever I play this game :lol:.

Actually I like being able to download the Japanese version. I already have the translation on the PSP. That said, maybe they should release both versions...

And hudson is owned by Konami? Didn't know that. :P
