Evidently, Konami ill needs logic or sequential order when releasing Castlevania games on the Virtual Console — which is probably why Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse has only just been rated by Australian regulators at the OFLC.
The game, a former star of Virtually Overlooked no less (if you can hear celebratory gunshots being fired into the air, that’ll be Alisha), now looks like a certainty to join Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, and Super Castlevania IV on the download service. If you read this, you’ll be reminded of why that’s very special, fist pump-worthy news indeed.
But enough talk. Have at you!

The latest update to the
ESRB's ratings search page reveals some new games headed to the Virtual Console; among the more notable releases are
King of Fighters '94, Top Hunter, Rolling Thunder 2 and
The Dynastic Hero. The most notable release is
Puyo Puyo 2-- on principle, anyway. That's because, while there are already
two Puyo games on the VC,
Puyo Puyo 2 is another of
Sega's
promised imports.
As "awesome" as a third
Puyo Puyo game is, the news is completely
obliterated by the latest OFLC updates for Australia:
Blades of Steel and
Mega Man 2, which probably hint at a European release as well.
We don't even have
Mega Man yet! This must be what it feels like for European and Australian gamers most of the time. Have fun playing
basically the best game ever, jerks. We'll just ... oh, wait, we've got the NES cartridge, and also the
Mega Man Anniversary Collection. We'll just play one of those while listening to
"Okkusenman".
