Castlevania being reborn on WiiWare too

A listing on the ESRB website shows that Konami are continuing their "rebirth" series on WiiWare with Castlevania Rebirth.

This is a side-scrolling action game in which players battle against monsters in Dracula's castle. Players use a chained whip to fight their way through halls and dungeons filled with zombies, skeletons, flying eyeballs and bats.

The enemy creatures frequently shoot projectiles and attack players in hand-to-hand combat. If players sustain too much damage, they keel over and emit a burst of red blood. Some rooms in the castle also have spikes or spears stained with red, blood-like splotches. What a terrible night for curse.

Up next, Track & Field Rebirth?

What a terrible way to describe a game. "Some rooms in the castle also have spikes or spears stained with red, BLOOD-LIKE splotches" OH NOES! Man, the big N is losing it.

Hey Nintendo might have some problems but the wii's line up has been improved so cut them some slack would you?

I think next we'll probably get Goemon Rebirth, then Metal Gear Rebirth, then Rocket Knight Rebirth, then Suikoden Rebirth, etc. Konami sure know to rebirth all of their popular franchises.

I'd love to see a Splatter House Rebirth.

@YoshLee I'd like a Splatterhouse Rebirth as much as you do but as you may know, Splatterhouse isn't owned by Konami.
