Another game is joining the North American New 3DS Virtual Console very soon. As of tomorrow, Konami’s Super Castlevania IV will be available, Nintendo’s website confirms.
Super Castlevania IV’s official description is as follows:
“In the peaceful country of Transylvania, there is a legend of an evil castle and its master, the Prince of Darkness, Dracula. Once every hundred years, the powers of good mysteriously weaken, and evil attempts to resurrect Dracula. It’s up to the Belmont clan to take up the eternal fight against the vampire. Players take on the role of Simon Belmont, armed with the legendary whip, Vampire Killer, to defeat Dracula and his evil minions. Luckily, Simon has many additional weapons at his disposal, including axes, holy water, crosses, knives and even a magical stopwatch that can stop the flow of time for a spell. Simon must travel through 11 stages, beginning in the countryside, to reach Dracula’s Castle, all the while overcoming perilous traps and hideous monsters. Only the power of the Belmonts can quell the looming darkness.”
Super Castlevania IV will be priced at $7.99.

R-Type and New Adventure Island hitting Wii U Virtual Console in NA tomorrow
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in Wii U | 12 Comments
Seems like Konami is pretty keen on the Wii U’s Virtual Console this week as, not only will Bonk’s Adventure be arriving, but so will R-Type and New Adventure Island. Their descriptions from Nintendo’s website:
R-Type
Power-up your spaceship and prepare for battle!
This is a completely faithful port—right down to the character details—of the famous shooting-game masterpiece, R-TYPE. Destroy the POW armor and 1 of 6 different units will appear, which you can then use to power up your R-9. Equip Bits and obtain Laser Units to make the Force appear and to power it up. The Force can then be integrated into or separated from your R-9. Make the most of your weapons, including the Reflecting Laser Beams, Air-to-Surface, and Antiaircraft Lasers. Keep pressing the fire button to fire blasts from the Beam Cannon. Press and hold the fire button to charge the Beam Gauge, then release it to fire a devastating Wave Cannon blast! The longer you hold it, the stronger the blast! The ultimate highlights are the N32bosses that await you at the end of each stage, including a stage that pits you against a giant warship.
New Adventure Island
Rescue your bride and stop the wicked Baron!
On peaceful Adventure Island, the islanders are celebrating the wedding of Master Higgins and Tina, the “Miss Island Queen.” Suddenly, the celebration is interrupted by the appearance of Baron Bronsky and his henchmen, who kidnap Tina and the island children! Master Higgins must set out to rescue the children and his beloved Tina in this side-scrolling action game! Throw hatchets and boomerangs, hop on skateboards, and guide Master Higgins safely to the goal in each area! New Adventure Island consists of 7 exciting stages! Each stage is split into 4 areas, with a boss waiting at the end of the final area. Defeat all the bosses and release the kidnapped children! And waiting in the castle of the final stage—the wicked Baron Bronsky! Help Master Higgins defeat him and reclaim his bride!
R-Type will be priced at $7.99, while New Adventure Island will be $5.99.
Thanks, again, to Jonathan for the heads up!

Bonk’s Adventure will be landing on the Wii U Virtual Console this Thursday, July 14. The description from Nintendo’s website:
Headbutt your way to victory!
An old-school side-scrolling action game. Gameplay is simple: just headbutt your enemies as you progress through each stage!

Headbutt the ground after Bonk has transformed to unleash a powerful explosion—the earth will tremble and your enemies will be stunned! That’s Bonk power! The power of his mighty, rock-hard head! The game is loaded with bonus games and hidden stages. And, just like any great action game, there are big boss battles.
The game will cost $5.99.
