Just because Nintendo has recently rolled out WiiWare as its forerunning online service in Japan, it doesn't mean that the company will be neglecting its usual Virtual Console updates for those who enjoy playing classic titles on their console.

The official Nintendo Japan website has already listed its upcoming titles for April, with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Sky Kid, Musha Aleste and several other old-school games ready to be released this coming April 1.

Perhaps the biggest title to hit VC Japan will be the return of the all-time favorite, Castlevania X (a.k.a. Castlevania X: Rondo of Blood). It's arrival definitely beats the premium players had to pay just to get last year's Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on the PlayStation Portable, which was packed with the once Japan-exclusive retro classic.
