interesting....but this appears to be more of an independent release since it doesn't seem to be published by any of the big computer game companies at the time...

Well obviously. The console did die about 10 years ago, but all the cartridges/cases are not recycled, they are brand new cartridges, so technically it is a brand new game.

And the storyline is shit. Folk at shiningforcecentral.com have been beefing it for ages

This is kind of off the topic, but the recycled cartridge thing made me think of it. Still, a very interesting read:

yeah, this retro-games console revival would only be a big deal if Konami exclusively released the next Castlevania (just for example of course) game or something like that for the megadrive.
ironic though, with all the retro and vintage clothing imitation crap one would think the computer games market would catch on too. but apparently not.
