Konami's still-to-be-officially-announced exhumation of Game Boy classic Castlevania: The Adventure will arrive in Japan on October 27, according to details from the latest crappy cell phone shots of Famitsu magazine.

Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth will colorize and modernize the 20-year-old outing of Christopher Belmont in his quest to kill Dracula for Konami's third downloadable retro "ReBirth" effort. According to NeoGAF poster Duckroll, details from Famitsu indicate "new enemies, new traps, and other improvements in each stage" will be added to Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth, along with rearranged music.

Hopefully, North American and European Wii owners will get access to the WiiWare title as soon as our Japanese counterparts. Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth is priced at 1000 Wii Points.

This doesn't look like the Gameboy version of old. I hated how many times you had to die and start over. If not the punishing amount of times you get hit from flying bats and shit, it's the blind leaps across casms and you only start with 2 lives.

The Gameboy version didn't allow for directional whipping or had any other magic weapons and whip extensions. If these get improved upon it might be okay but 2D games have a hard time getting the new masses to buy it. Retro gamers will be smart enough to read reviews before purchase.

Yeah, the game was terrible honestly.. I really hope they made it more playable. I remember something about falling boulders and climbing troubles.
