New retro revival from Konami to be revealed on Monday

Posted on October 4, 2009 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii

Konami 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!
