Castlevania: Dracula X, The Rare SNES Version, Is Coming To Wii U Virtual Console

For awhile Castlevania: Rondo of Blood was the "lost" Castlevania game. Originally released for the TurboGrafx CD only in Japan, Rondo of Blood finally found its way to the West in 2010 as a Virtual Console download for Wii.

Castlevania: Dracula X is a remake of Rondo of Blood for Super Nintendo. Richter Belmont is the protagonist in both games, but Maria isn’t playable in Dracula X. The Super Nintendo version also has different levels and is much harder to complete.

 

Castlevania: Dracula X will be re-released as a Virtual Console game for Wii U in Japan on April 23. We’re confident that we’ll see Dracula X in the West since it was rated in Australia before Nintendo officially confirmed it for Virtual Console. That means Castlevania: Bloodlines, a Castlevania game for Genesis, will move up the rarity scale.
