'Tis but a dream, but I'd also love to see Konami release the Castlevania DS trilogy some day. I adored those games as a kid. We have seen DS games work on Switch before like how Capcom handled the Mega Man ZX games in the Legacy Collection, so it can be done.
One of the last moves of the Konami of old. I love that soundtrack clearly based on the style of their games, especially arcades, in the first half of the 1990s. A damn shame that it can't be played legally nowadays. Only observation I have, the astethics are more "32 bit" than "beefed up 16 bit".
The Rebirth games are absolutely amazing. They sound and look like games that could have easily been on the Konami hardware of the late 80’s and early 90’s. Some of M2’s finest work. Shame they are locked behind WiiWare. They deserve to be seen again.
@@Gameboy-Unboxings don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the remake. Just the opposite. I've played it tons of times already, and thoroughly enjoy it. Just did not expect Haunted Castle of all games to come back. Was quite a pleasant surprise. I do wish Rebirth wasn't trapped on the Wii though
Bought this game day one of its release and loved every bit of it. Lots of paths to take and a great tribute to the classic Castlevania style. Nice job on this playthrough!
This game was awesome. Amazing soundtrack too. God I miss classic Wii Ware. Going home from school excited to see what dropped each week. I didn't get a ton but it was always great.
I wish they kept "Battle of the Holy" that music was the one thing in the original that didn't totally lack. Maybe even include more tracks from Belmint's Revenge, that games ost is flawless.
Of course. I'm not surprised my boys from M2 could deliver a second time. Hopefully they can get a crack at porting their other titles over to modern hardware. Especially Castlevania Rebirth.
The Wii was practically the Retro Revolution. Of course we had the Rebirth series, but plenty of games that hadn't been seen in forever were being revisited. Excitebike, Bubble Bobble, Blaster Master, freakin Adventure Island!! So many series were being given another chance whether they still had a dedicated fanbase or not. I guess that was the benefit of Wiiware games being quick and cheap to make. Like hell you'd see Star Soldier ever being given another chance on PS5...
That's what I've been saying. Wii was retro revival. I think Switch is sort of like a second home for those types of games, what with its weaker hardware. I use it to play a lot of them ported over it.
I remember really enjoying this one when it first came out. A fun game with a fair and satisfying challenge that definitely hit that "classic Castlevania" itch I needed back then. And what a missed opportunity to not include each of the Rebirth titles in the Anniversary Collections, especially since they were all handled by M2.
I'm surprised they never added this game to any of the castlevania collections. They've been more than willing to add more obscure titles before such as kid Dracula and haunted castle including a straight up remake of it as well. I don't see why they've ignored this for so long especially when it's nearly impossible to play legitimately.
They turned one of the weakest Castlevania games from the GBC and turned it into an awesome remake. I wish they could give a similar treatment to another title in the series as well, Castlevania 64
Just asking, if i were to want to play 64, should i get both 64 and legacy, or just legacy since i heard its just 64 but with two more characters to play as?
@@derpyguytheshygamer3283 legacy is the expansion of basic 64. I think the two original stories of Reinhardt and Carrie are still there, the new ones are for Cornell and Henry, so yeah, Legacy is better
I missed out on this game and no one has successfully emulated it, nice to see such a great playthrough so I can at least watch how cool the game is! Also, great job taking so little damage and keeping the good ol' Jesusrang (as I like to call the cross subweapon) on hand so often!
I feel completely stupid. I had a Wii for the longest time loved it and somehow I never knew about this castlevania game/remake. My close friend and I were discussing our hopes for another castlevania collection specifically a collection of the 3d games on the ds and ps2 (lords of shadow to us would be it’s own trilogy remaster if Konami ever did those) sotn ported to switch with rondo of blood and when talking about bonus games he mentioned this to me. I swear if I knew this was on Wii I would have been playing it lol. Can’t believe this. It looks awesome.
Castlevania Dominus Collection just came out recently, it's an amazing collection of the DS games but it also has a remake of Haunted Castle, which gives me hope that there could be a re-release of Adventure Rebirth in the future if there's another collection.
I would strongly consider sacrificing various parts of my anatomy for Nintendo to open up their library more fully, especially for rare games like this...
Castlevania Collection 2 with save state and save replay so called the 4th called Castlevania the chronicles collection that features Castlevania chronicles X68000 and ps1, Castlevania: The Dracula X the psp remake, Castlevania: The Dracula X Rondo of Blood PC Engine, Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Castlevania Rebirth for the Wii.
That unique Konami sound/music is initially recognized by us Konami fanboys :) (feks. arcade music/sounds from Sunset Riders, Vendetta etc :) :) ) And on and on :) Frakkin`LOVE it! :) :) :)
Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth is an incredible throwback to Konami's glory days. Why is this not on the Switch yet?

Yes

Well that's interesting. I've never even heard of this game, and it doesn't look too bad! Thanks for the playthrough ⚰️🎃🏰🦇

And yet we somehow get a Haunted Castle remake before Rebirth ever sees the light of day again 😂
@@AltairEgo1I mean.. that's a good thing.

That New Messiah remix is one of greatest pieces of music I have ever heard in any video game. Manabu Namiki is an absolute genius.
Yeah! I totally agree with you

This game was awesome. Amazing soundtrack too. God I miss classic Wii Ware. Going home from school excited to see what dropped each week. I didn't get a ton but it was always great.
It's games like this and Contra Rebirth that make me feel glad and proud that I nodded, homebrewed, and hacked my good ol' reliable Nintendo Wii.
Good to know it's available via hacking. This is my Christmas vacation project, hacking my Wii.
I wish they kept "Battle of the Holy" that music was the one thing in the original that didn't totally lack. Maybe even include more tracks from Belmint's Revenge, that games ost is flawless.
8:17 Eye'm impressed how fast you took that thing down.
i played this game for the first time a few weeks ago, and it's such a great game
That last fight against Dracula had me on the edge of my seat. 1 Hp and still won! Well played!
To me, this is Rhondo of Blood 2!
needs another playable character and more routes to be on that level.
kinda cool that these people are the same developers of the haunted castle revisited game that is on the dominus collection.
Of course. I'm not surprised my boys from M2 could deliver a second time. Hopefully they can get a crack at porting their other titles over to modern hardware. Especially Castlevania Rebirth.
Fingers crossed they re-release this sick remake and maybe just maybe remake Legends
Yeah, and it kicks ass! Simon Belmont is back... just with blue hair. I think that dude must dye his hair twice a game.

I can hardly imagine if they added a war zone in the background. That would be great
This is honestly one of the best WiiWare titles that went _poof_ with the Wii digital store closing down, excellent game.
You can actually still access the game if your up to homebrewing it
For the love of God, Konami should release this again and remake Legends like they did Haunted Castle.

@@ThePolishValsion ok, then, if i can hunt a copy i'll give it a shot. Thanks.
They just did this with Haunted Castle
This is nostalgia like no other. Not many things in this world are more sacred than the Wii menu.
🤢
I still have no idea why this game wasn't included with CastleVania Anniversary Collection.

And now I get to add an update, it seems someone out there finally got a rom of this game to work!

Needs a collection this Castlevania
Level 5 is one of the most well designed levels I’ve ever played
Christopher Belmont Is At It Again!
CASTLEVANIA THE ADVENTURE REBIRTH!
On Nintendo Wii!
From Konami!
Christopher Belmont: I'll Kill You AND The Night!

Couldve been better if drac said the exact same lines as the one in SOTN
I didn't know the game is that good. Only got Contra Rebirth back then. Well, time for some emulation ^^
I would strongly consider sacrificing various parts of my anatomy for Nintendo to open up their library more fully, especially for rare games like this...
16:12 Stage 3 is the best!
It's a shame that without piracy this would be lost forever. Wish Konami would re releases all 3 rebirth games
Castlevania Collection 2 with save state and save replay so called the 4th called Castlevania the chronicles collection that features Castlevania chronicles X68000 and ps1, Castlevania: The Dracula X the psp remake, Castlevania: The Dracula X Rondo of Blood PC Engine, Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Castlevania Rebirth for the Wii.
Cool!
The new Haunted Castle brought me here
Wish this was on one of the collections…the OG game boy version was hell
The first level was taken from Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis), wasn't it?
i would like to play it again on switch
Super video.
Hello @NintendoComplete ! How are you ? I'm trying to reach you but I don't know or where to send you a message. Thank you :)
You can get me at the channel name @ Gmail
@@NintendoCompleteI already subscribed to your channel
7:18 ♫ Giant eyes, are chasing you ♫
I wish they continued with series and remade Belmont's Revenge for the Game Boy in this style
Haunted Castle Revisited brought me here
how did you make the graphics look so good, i'm playing on original hardware and all of the colours are so light
This game felt like an earnest apology from Igarashi, for that horrible Castlevania Judgement fighting game.
😂 I loved Castlevania Judgement. Not a great game, but I really enjoyed it.
@@NintendoComplete Compared to what the 360 and PS3 were getting, it was a slap in the face.
This game has a lot of references to Castlevania Bloodlines
:( sadly its not on Castlevania collection i always want to play rebirth
I never knew this game existed 😱
1:49:04 nice clutch
Castlevania Snes ❤️
I forgot to mention, did anyone tell the sound team that this isnt a TMNT game 😋
did you record this off a real wii with an upscaler of some sort, or was this recorded via emulation?
It's emulated. I was using settings that matched the real Wii's output and I nearest neighbor-upscaled the footage from 480p to 4k.
@@NintendoComplete if possible, is it ok for you to explain how to emulate this game? I never emulated a game before and would like to try this game.
castlevania symphony of the night ?
Awesome! Thank You!
18:28, that's close!
Missed opportunity to call it the Wii-Birth
At least we can still use ROMS for this since Nintendo wont let anyone buy it anymore
I can tell people who made this were fans of bloodlines haha
Castlevania next stage enemy blood
😊❤
This game fucking rocks. It sucks that it's abandonware.
Yugioh vs cardcaptors
Fully playable on Dolphin emulator. It even works on mobile devices ;-)
Yeah, but with the excessive slowdown it's almost like it doesn't even matter😥
Muy infantil
Meh....it was ok.
Bruh why do you waste time killing things that don't need to be killed? If it's not in your path don't waste time and possible life.
