Rumor: Castlevania headed Wii-ward

by Alisha Karabinus { Apr 28th 2008 at 11:15AM }

Where's that latest EGM?! We need to see this one with our own eyes: rumors of new Castlevania for DS and Wii, and since the first has already been confirmed (though we're not sure about this definition of new), we'll go ahead and guess that the second, the Wii title, is likely true, particularly since another trademark has already been discovered.

The idea of a game on the system isn't particularly new, but the resurfacing of the rumor certainly has us dancing in the aisles. Could Castlevania Judgment be meant for us? We're crossing our fingers. Retail game, WiiWare, it doesn't matter -- just give us some vampire-killing, whip-cracking action.

Players proceed through each level, defeating enemies and collecting gems (hearts in previous games) to power special weapons? I'M IN. Wow, I hope if they do make this a game for the wii that they don't screw it up badly... which they won't, right? RIGHT?

That all sounds great, but I'm most concerned about the controls. Will it be waggle-to-whip? Or will some actual thought be put into it? I'm hoping for some simulated whip-cracking action and not simulated excited-dog-tail action. If it's done right, I'll take 8!

It seems like every week there's a new Castlevania.

That's still not enough.

Oh, don't worry. I'll be on again tonight, probably at the same time. Maybe.

A bunch of us from Joystiq was playing yesterday. I left so many guys in the dust. I almost won a couple races, which is really cool because I never usually win at this game.

You say it like its a bad thing...

I wonder if there's going to be waggle whip-cracking. I can just imagine a Wii Castlevania like a vampire-killing Metroid Prime 3.

Cast. Syphon. of the night hands down the best, I hope they build on that but make it open world not side scoller. I'l they need not only a Cast but Fzero as well along with star fox

If they were going to do something innovative and new with the franchise, it wouldnt be going to the Wii. It would be on Xbox/PS3.

This will be a waggle-whipping side-scroller, even if a very nice looking one.

Wow, now there's a Wii game I actually might want!

TheWarlock @ Apr 28th 2008 1:04PM

You mean aside from Brawl and Mariokartwii, right? RIGHT?

Lars @ Apr 28th 2008 2:41PM

I have yet to play Brawl. I played Melee and it honestly didn't do it for me. But I hope Brawl will grab me, because I want to like it. I don't have Mario Kart either. Same situation with the old Mario Kart, except it just felt kind of childish. When I was playing it I was thinking "why aren't I playing Twisted Metal or something instead?" But now that there's no good shooting-car games to distract me, maybe MK will be great.

The games that I have enjoyed a lot on Wii are Corruption, RRR, Geometry Wars, Zak & Wiki, ...I guess that's about it. So, yeah games that I actually want to play on Wii are unfortunately few and far between. In other words, BRING ON CASTLEVANIA!
