Originally released on the PC Engine in 1993, the game never got an official North American release until recently when it was remade as part of the Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles compilation for the PlayStation Portable.

Among the other titles that will make it on the Wii's downloadable service next week include Heracles no Eikou IV: Kamigami-kara no Okurimono by Paon, Namco Bandai's Phelios, and SNK's Metal Slug.

All in all, Japanese gamers will be definitely enjoying themselves as they replay such excellent classic titles. Hopefully, other gamers will also get the chance to experience the same old-school gaming fun once these titles get ported into the other VC regions.
