Castlevania Virtual Console release tipped by ESRB

20130204_castlevania

Castlevania has turned up on the ESRB’s catalogue as a 3DS and Wii title, suggesting a Virtual Console release is on the cards. It’s not clear whether the title refers to the 1986 action platformer that started it all, or the 1999 N6$ game, although given the destination platforms the former seems more likely. A new 3DS game, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, is due in early March.

Thanks, GoNintendo.
