It appears that more and more Game Boy Advance titles are making their way to the Wii U Virtual Console, allowing players to relive sweet memories from their past. While the appeal of severely outdated titles is disputable, the value of regaining a part of your childhood is what will sell most of these games.

The latest news is that both Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and F-Zero: GP Legend have received a rating from the Australian Classification Board, that outed both games on March 27. The board report does not include release platforms, but both titles have Nintendo listed as publisher.

That means that the two games may be headed to the Wii U Virtual Console, joining some other eight titles that Nintendo has revealed to be on their way. The eight games and their re-release dates are as follows:

Advance Wars on April 3 Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga on April 3 Metroid Fusion on April 3 WarioWare Inc on April 10 Kirby and the Amazing Mirror on April 10 Golden Sun on April 17 F-Zero: Maximum Velocity on April 17 Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 on April 24

The releases were revealed through a video showing fragments of gameplay from the listed games as well as teasing many more GBA titles to come.

The Australian Classification Board has also issued ratings for Mr. Driller 2 and Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, indicating that both of them are set for re-release, but no announcements regarding the two have been made yet.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow was originally published by Konami in 2003 and was very well received by both fans and critics, especially due to its Symphony of the Night-inspired gameplay.

The game takes place in the year 2035, long after Dracula was sealed away from a battle in 1999, when his powers are to be passed on to his reincarnation. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow follows a teenager who is a potential vessel for Dracula's reincarnation, as he battles the dark forces that are after the legendary vampire's power.

F-Zero: GP Legend was released in North America and Europe in 2004 and was based on the anime series of the same name, being the last F-Zero game to see an international release.

The video game follows a futuristic racing team, allowing players to make use of boosts and side attacks in order to secure their place as winners in a series of races taking place across many different planets, complete with a story-driven campaign and many different other modes.
