Rumor: Konami VP mentions Castlevania Wii?
This is a pretty weird rumor, but perhaps the same could be said of all rumors. Apparently, Konami USA's Shinji Hirano made a reference to new Castlevania games on the Wii and DS during a press conference Tuesday in Sao Paulo. The weird part is that the event in question, according to Arena Turbo, was a launch for Grand Theft Auto IV and Iron Man. Is GTA IV even out in Brazil? Xbox.com says it isn't. And why would a Konami executive even be there making statements? So sketchy. Of course we can't find any reference to this event anywhere but this post and this GameTV post.
But we've heard Wii 'Vania rumors before, and this extremely dubious one doesn't make the game any less likely. Maybe it'll get sorted out next week, as Hirano reportedly said.

That would be great if they made Castlevania for the Wii, then again maybe not i really didnt like the Castlevania for the ps2.

They made one awful PS2 version, and one decent one. I can't remember what they were called, though.
I'm hoping that if we get one, it will be more like SotN and the GBA/DS (2D) games, and less like the PS2 (3D) games. The genre just fares better as a side-scroller.
I wonder if they'll try to tack on waggle somehow? I could see getting some use out of the pointer in a 2D platformer (like how the used the stylus in Dawn of Sorrow), but I expect that any waggle would be extraneous.

Didn't they say they'd never ever make a Wii Castlevania game or something? :P

A miserable little pile of secrets.

Thank you, Rob, I was hoping someone would get it.

My guess is WiiWare remakes/ports
Possibly original content, though i'd bet against it. DS seems to be their lead for the series for now
