It is a parallel version of the original Castlevania, which debuted a month earlier for the Famicom Disk System under the same Japanese title. However, the MSX2 version was localized first in Europe and was published without the Castlevania branding that the franchise would start using abroad in 1987 when the NES version was released in North America (where neither Vampire Killer nor the MSX2 platform were released). It was released on the Project EGG website in July 22, 2014, and Wii U's Virtual Console on December 17, 2014, in Japan.\nLike in Castlevania, the player controls vampire hunter Simon Belmont, who ventures into Dracula's castle armed with a mystical whip inherited from his father, in order to slay the evil count.","lang":"en","source":"wikipedia_en"}],"first_release_date":"1994-03-18","media":[{"kind":"boxart","url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libretro-thumbnails/Sega_-_Mega_Drive_-_Genesis/master/Named_Boxarts/Vampire%20Killer%20%28Japan%29.png","source":"libretro_thumbnails","region":"jp"},{"kind":"titlescreen","url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libretro-thumbnails/Sega_-_Mega_Drive_-_Genesis/master/Named_Titles/Vampire%20Killer%20%28Japan%29.png","source":"libretro_thumbnails","region":"jp"},{"kind":"screenshot","url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libretro-thumbnails/Sega_-_Mega_Drive_-_Genesis/master/Named_Snaps/Vampire%20Killer%20%28Japan%29.png","source":"libretro_thumbnails","region":"jp"}]}
