Because Konami.

It's especially weird for Bloodlines. Most other Castlevania games have been ported at least once. But for some reason, they just aren't porting this one.

Konami is exceptionally bad about porting their old games.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is now up on the Wii U eshop for ten bones. If you don't have it, well, now you've got your chance!

Do you have them, Spark?
I do. Haven't really sat down to play them in a while, though.

Have you played through them? You've been kind of quiet about these games. :P

Never beat them. I'll probably set aside some time and go through them eventually. They're pretty good games.

Since it doesn't look like Nintendo is going to release GameCube games on the Wii U VC, I'd like to see them port Thousand-Year Door. Maybe even release it in a set alongside Paper and Super Paper Mario.

Of course, there are other GameCube games that also should be ported. I just felt like mentioning this one.

I just remembered another GBA port. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, a port of Kirby's Adventure. What did you guys think of that one?

Haven't played it yet, but I believe it's actually a full-on remake rather than a port. Will hopefully be buying it from the Wii U VC soon, though!
