New retro revival from Konami to be revealed on Monday
October 4th, 2009 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, WiiKonami has actually done pretty well with reviving their retro franchises. It would be difficult to deny that Gradius Rebirth and Contra Rebirth are faithful entries in their respective series. The latest Rebirth title we know about is Castlevania, but we haven’t heard a word about it since its leaked ESRB rating.
That could change tomorrow, though. Latt Meone and Jeremy Parish – two editors over at 1UP – are teasing a retro revival reveal. Both have a similar message displayed on their Twitter accounts:
“We’re revealing a new Konami retro revival in Monday’s 1UP Cover.”
This doesn’t necessarily mean that Castlevania Rebirth will be showcased on 1UP tomorrow, but I’d say that it’s likely. After all, Nintendo did say that the game is supposedly releasing in Q3 2009.
Thanks to Jake for the news tip!

There’s a slim chance that Castlevania Rebirth could come out on WiiWare this month of October… but I doubt by tomarrow since it’s just way too early!
