      Well it’s been awhile since I’ve done a Wii Virtual Console review. So my first 2009 old game review is for…Castlevania 3 : The second good Castlevania game on the NES. Story : One gets the impression that Konami was attempting to be more “cinematic” with Castlevania 3, being that the opening title screen starts with an 8-bit screen of a film reel streaming along. The game starts with the Simon Belmont sprite mourning over the grave of what I thought to be his dearly departed guinea pig and vowi...
