The latest issue of Famitsu Magazine has revealed the first information of Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth, a dramatically overhauled version of the original Gameboy game.

The game has now been given a big graphics upgrade, now looking much closer to Super Castlevania IV on the Super Nintendo. Calling it just a remake isn't giving the game justice - it's been completely redone.

Just from the screenshots you can see numerous Skeletons and flights of stairs to walk up - neither of which were in Castlevania: The Adventure. Going by this play through video, I couldn't see any level design that resembled anything in the screenshots, so this is more of a re-imagining. The only object I could recognize from both games is the rolling eyeballs, in which there are a whole lot more of them in the WiiWare release.

The game is set to be released in Japan on October 27th, and will cost 1,000 Nintendo Points. I expect the game to appear in North America later on.
