Huh, didn’t realize Mysterious Murasame Castle wasn’t on NSO until now.
Cutcutman
Oh shit, the Mysterious Murasame Castle? That is a really good Japanese exclusive NES game. Glad to see it come to the service!

It’s cool to finally get the Mysterious Murasame Castle. The localization was already done for the 3DS eShop release so who knows why it took **this** long for it to come out for NSO.
Also… *sigh* Nintendo, you have Wario Land 1 and 2, Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong ’94 in the backburner and we get a mediocre Castlevania game that got de-canonized instead…

Solid selection. I had Mysterious Murasame Castle on 3DS but never finished it, maybe I’ll be able to do so this time (…even if I might end up having to use some save states). And Devil World will be cool to finally be able to play.
LucasOIntoxicado
Both coming to the west for the first time, right?
velvettblood
Konami really doesn’t care about Castlevania legends
Juklok
Well, the Halloween theming is nice
Hunkfish
I am still waiting for NES Phantom Fighter.
Anyone who saw or played that game before knew how good it was with the unique theme of killing Chinese Zombies.
It’s like one of the first kind of action RPG in those days…
Robotreptile
As good of an NES update as one could hope for at this point. Finally gonna play Devil World!

Legends is still better than Castlevania Adventure. Belmont’s Revenge would have been a nice touch.
Fake_Diesel
Any guesses as to when Golden Sun is landing on the service?
CHEEZYSPAM
I appreciate they are adding Legends, it really should have been in the Vol.1 classics collection, but it’s just another way that Konami drops the ball… Still, as a Castlevania fan, it’s nice that the switch gives us nostalgic options
Now, if only Nintendo could get the SotN and Rondo of Blood licenses…
murder_1
Awesome more games no one cares about
docdrazen
So happy Legends got a rerelease. I know there’s someone attempting to remake it but they haven’t updated on it in a long time so not sure if it got abandoned.
I recently started trying to port over my work on making a color version in GBE+ into game maker instead. Hopefully I’ll get a color version of the game out one of these days haha

Oh dang Murasame Castle finally left 3DS purgatory.
Yacobo93
Take this from a huge classic 2d platformer style castlevania fanboy Legends is so ass I don’t think its worth the 5 dollars nintendo paid konami to put it on NSO. This is coming from someone that thinks Adventure is good.
Hammet02
Pokemon gen 1, 2 and 3 dropping at Christmas as a gift FULL COPIUM.

Fun Fact: Castlevania Legends was the first video game I ever bought. I still have the old cartridge but my Gameboy died long ago so I can try it again for nostalgia sake.
DrunkMoblin
Yo! Great selection actually!
Torque-A
Do Murasame Castle and Devil World have English translations?
Kryptic_Anthology
Cmon, give me Iron Sword: Wizards And Warriors 2!
link_shady
Need golden sun! Didn’t expect it to take this long for it to
RKO_out_of_no_where
Gimmie Bubble Ghost for GB please and thank you!!
mecartistronico
So that’s where that screen-shifting devil in Smash comes from!

Devil World available for the first time in the U.S. is really neat, and it’s about damn time we got Mysterious Murasame Castle. Solid update this time, though I wouldn’t have minded one more SNES or GB title.
superjoho
When are we gonna get some good recognizable games?
astroklotz
Drop Pokémon Blue/Yellow/Red you absolute cowards
OctoShiver20
Oh good, games nobody gives a damn about kek
Blastoise_FTW
Do love some Devil World
kaltadesmon
Ah.
Death_from_farting
Castlevania legends wow that’s a lot cooler than castlevania 64
Starsky65
Meh nothing for me.

Some notes on why all of these are cool if you’ve never heard of or cared about these before:
* Castlevania Legends: Definitely better than the first few GB Castlevanias which are not great, and now all three of them are playable on Switch!
* Devil World: A Japan-only game designed by Miyamoto pre-Super Mario Bros, similar to Pac-Man. This is also the first time it’s been available in North America!
* The Mysterious Murasame Castle: Another Japan exclusive, previously on 3DS Virtual Console but awesome to see it again here! It’s basically a sister game to the original Zelda, developed around the same time and sharing some mechanics. One of the more interesting Famicom games to go back to these days!
Pavona
a) i want Gauntlet
b) why can’t ALL the games ALWAYS be available? Storage is cheap, it’s nearly 2024 ffs.
hotaru-chan45
*cries in Golden Sun fan*
CyanTheory
Every month that passes by without Golden Sun is pain. Even ToTK, Starfield, BG3 and Spiderman 2 cant ease that pain.
NINTENDO PLEASE.

It’s a damn shame Legends wasn’t part of the Anniversary Collection. But this is a good alternative.
