The backgrounds and enemy sprites all look fantastic, the bosses are well designed both visually and mechanically, being challenging but fair and looking great but not taxing enough on the system hardware to cause slowdown. Konami clearly knew the system they were developing for, knew what it could and couldn't do, and made the best product they could with the resources they had. As was the case with the original Castlevania Adventure, Castlevania Adventure Rebirth doesn't try to do too much.
CONTRA REBIRTH WAD 720P
While a 720p or 1080p image certainly would have improved things, the game looks fantastic, keeping true to its 2D sprite roots while adding the visual effects and smooth gameplay one would expect from a modern game. Castlevania Rebirth is one of the Wii games that proves that there's more to a good looking game than resolution. Being on Wii, this game obviously won't give you a high definition picture, but that's not to say that it looks bad as that is far from the case. The music is done in a similar way there are remixes and adaptations of music from previous entries in the Castlevania series, but they all feel fresh, new, and unique.Īll in all, despite being a remake, this feels like a completely new and unrelated game in the series, and I mean that in the best way possible. Whereas the Game Boy title had four stages, there are six stages in Rebirth (really, though, there are five stage six is just the Dracula fight), and all of the stages are very much their own thing rather than a copy of the original game's stages.
CONTRA REBIRTH WAD FULL
While it is a remake of the Game Boy title, it's not a straight remaster but rather a full reimagining in the same way that Super Castlevania IV was a complete reimagining of the original Castlevania. With respect to plot, as a remake of Castlevania Adventure, the protagonist is Christopher Belmont, a descendent of Trevor Belmont from Castlevania III and an ancestor of Simon Belmont from the first Castlevania.

Konami put out a short 'rebirth' series on WiiWare with remakes of three of entries from their old flagship series - Castlevania, Contra, and Gradius.Īs the title suggests, this is a remake of the Game Boy title Castlevania Adventure. In the end this is one of the best wiiware titles and completely worth purchasing. However, I did miss the song 'Bloody Tears' I wonder why it as not put there. The enemy design is also great and the classic graphics do the job. The difficulty is also like before, this game is challenging which I love because more recent castlevania games have become too easy in my opinion. The level design is also great yet less 'open world' than other games in the franchise. This plays as any other castlevania game with a Belmont as the main character which was a refreshing feel as a lover of this franchise. This is basically a remake of the game Castlevania: The Adventure which I never had the chance to play but it is good to know there was and remake and that there are plans of making 'ReBirth' versions of many classic games. This is basically a remake of I have to say Castlevania is one of my favorite franchises and looking at a new game on the wii is refreshing. I have to say Castlevania is one of my favorite franchises and looking at a new game on the wii is refreshing. I love the idea behind the Rebirth series, and hope that Konami continues with them for other series, but this entry left something to be desired. While the graphics are impressive, the clunky jumping controls and slow gameplay will certainly turn them away. Longtime series fans craving a new 2D adventure like myself will be pleased by it, but newcomers probably won't get much out of it. Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth isn't the best installment of the series, but it's also far from the worst.
