![]() ![]() The backgrounds and enemy sprites all look fantastic, the bosses are well designed both visually and mechanically, being challenging but fair and looking great but not taxing enough on the system hardware to cause slowdown. Konami clearly knew the system they were developing for, knew what it could and couldn't do, and made the best product they could with the resources they had. As was the case with the original Castlevania Adventure, Castlevania Adventure Rebirth doesn't try to do too much. While a 720p or 1080p image certainly would have improved things, the game looks fantastic, keeping true to its 2D sprite roots while adding the visual effects and smooth gameplay one would expect from a modern game. Castlevania Rebirth is one of the Wii games that proves that there's more to a good looking game than resolution. All in all, despite being a remake, this feels like a completely new and unrelated game in the series, and I mean that in the best way possible.īeing on Wii, this game obviously won't give you a high definition picture, but that's not to say that it looks bad as that is far from the case. The music is done in a similar way there are remixes and adaptations of music from previous entries in the Castlevania series, but they all feel fresh, new, and unique. Whereas the Game Boy title had four stages, there are six stages in Rebirth (really, though, there are five stage six is just the Dracula fight), and all of the stages are very much their own thing rather than a copy of the original game's stages. While it is a remake of the Game Boy title, it's not a straight remaster but rather a full reimagining in the same way that Super Castlevania IV was a complete reimagining of the original Castlevania. With respect to plot, as a remake of Castlevania Adventure, the protagonist is Christopher Belmont, a descendent of Trevor Belmont from Castlevania III and an ancestor of Simon Belmont from the first Castlevania. As the title suggests, this is a remake of the Game Boy title Castlevania Adventure. Remember WiiWare, Nintendo's underappreciated download service for Wii games? Konami put out a short "rebirth" series on WiiWare with remakes of three of entries from their old flagship series - Castlevania, Contra, and Gradius. Ours is a bromance so strong not even Dracula could come between us. This review is dedicated to flake for sending me some money on PayPal to make sure I downloaded this. ![]() Castlevania Adventure Rebirth - Wii - July 30 Castlevania Adventure - Game Boy - July 30ħ7.
