Nintendo has announced that the Hanabi Festival returns to Virtual Console starting this week, and that Castlevania: Rondo of Blood is among the games due out during its latest run.
The Hanabi Festival is Nintendo's way of flogging retro games previously only released in Japan through WiiWare, and is named after a Japanese fireworks festival.
The latest Hanabi kicks off on Friday 12th March, and will include Rondo of Blood (originally only released on the PC Engine in Japan), Milon's Secret Castle (NES), Ironclad (NeoGeo) and Lode Runner (NES). Exact dates for those games are TBC.
Rondo of Blood was last seen on PSP in 2008's Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. It came out in Japan on Virtual Console in April 2008 as well.

There’s more than enough evidence to suggest that Apple can rightly lay claim to be the fourth platform holder of the modern video games market – but Nintendo has dismissed the idea that Apple’s gain is its loss.
“There's been no data to suggest an encroachment on our business,” Nintendo’s American president Reggie Fils-Aime told Forbes.
“The iPhone has been out on the marketplace for just a couple of years. In the last two years we've set two records on our DS business, last year selling over 11.2m units. So there's been no evidence that we've lost any business to that competitor.”
Reggie did concede, however, that Apple’s rise has at least won it the honour of being named a true competitor in the sector.
“On the other hand, we recognise that consumers have a limited amount of entertainment time, and anything that takes entertainment time away from the Nintendo DS, DSi and Wii is a competitor. And so from that standpoint, we need to build experiences that are compelling and sticky, and that consumers can get excited about. That's our challenge.”

It's tenuous, but a fumbled Google translation of a Japanese report on stereoscopic 3D tech has led to reports that Sony could release its planned 3D update for PS3 on June 10.
Slapping AV Watch's report through Google translate brings up the sentence: "'LX900 Sun June 10, according to the release, PlayStation 3 and update, 3D stereoscopic gaming titles to launch' he said."
The "translation", to be fair, might as well be in Spanish, but it has a date and the words 'PS3 update' in the same sentence, so let's call it speculation-worthy - unless there are any Japanese-speaking CVG readers out there who'd be so kind as to translate it to actual English in the comments field below...
Sony has confirmed plans to release a 3D firmware update around the same time that the first 3D TVs are due to arrive - which is this summer.

Infinity Ward has announced that the first map pack for Modern Warfare 2 will be released for Xbox 360 on 30th March.
Writing on Twitter, IW's Robert Bowling added that PC and PS3 would receive the DLC at a later date.
Microsoft has previously told Eurogamer that the first two map packs would be exclusive to Xbox Live for 30 days.
There's no word on the contents of this month's offering, but Activision has whacked up a comedy website to go with the announcement.
Yesterday Bowling said that MW2 had been played online by 25 million people.

Two new revisions to Sony’s PS3 that are expected to hit the market in March will offer a surprise new feature – less weight.
Andriasang reports that the new SKUs will weight exactly 3kg – 200g lighter than the current PS3 Slim’s 3.2kg. The new models will sport the serial numbers CECH-2000A and CECH-2100A.
Hardware revisions are common and the weight reduction likely stems from one or two internal component changes.
In the name of science, MCV can confirm that 200g is exactly the same weight as 200 paper clips or 200 one dollar notes.
