The Virtual Console gets spooky just in time for Halloween with this eerie trio of titles:
Castlevania II Simon’s Quest – NES – 500 Wii Points
In this one-player adventure, you’ll take on the role of Simon Belmont once again and duel to the death with Count Dracula. Grab your legendary whip, Vampire Killer, and roam freely through Transylvania on a quest to find the count’s missing body parts-these are the key to breaking an evil curse.
SAMURAI-GHOST – TG16 – 600 Wii Points
This action platformer features a samurai ghost from the depths of the underworld. In a past war, Kagekiyo managed to defeat the shogun Yoritomo and his clan. However, their evil spirits were not completely destroyed, and now, in the world known as Dark Side, they seek the time of their rebirth.
MAGICIAN LORD – NEOGEO – 900 Wii Points
Released in 1990 and regarded as one of the NEOGEO’s earliest signature games, this side-scrolling platformer mixes action with the mystical world of fantasy.
Any other spooky games you’re looking forward to playing this Halloween?

Castlevania II rocks. I wish they would make a new game where you can freely roam Transylvania, and not simply the castle.

I’d hate to say it, but what if they’re holding “Zombies Ate My Neighbors” for Halloween next year? It’s a long way, but at least the timing would be good. Or maybe if the movie “Sean of the Dead” gets a sequel, they could release ZAMN alongside it.
Oh who am I kidding? I wanna slay zombies with water pistols and household goods already!

Ok now that I’m done screaming I have to say that I couldn’t be happier at the fact that Castlevania II is finally out. It was my #1 most wanted game. I literally just ran to my Wii, bought it, and didnt’ stop until I had a White Crystal and the Thorn Whip.
“I wish they would make a new game where you can freely roam Transylvania, and not simply the castle.”
I’ve been wishing and hoping for years. The Symphony of the Night model that Konami has been milking years would work perfectly.
