Rumors have been swirling about a possible Castlevania Wii release for a while, but no one saw this one coming. According to the latest issue of Nintendo Power, Castlevania: Judgement is currently in development, and it’s a 3-D fighter.
Among the characters already confirmed to be playable are Dracula, Alucard, and Simon Belmont. Classic subweapons such as holy water will be present as well.
No release date is set yet, but this will surely be a title lots of people will have their eyes on.
Dracula is going to be the worst character.
<_<
I’ve thought of how cool it would be to have a Castlevania fighting game before. Actually I was thinking something more along the line of the Universal Studios monsters, but with Castlevania characters as bonuses. The only problem would be that fans would call it a rip-off of Darkstalkers no matter how it turned out. This game can either be a success or a failure, depending on how it’s executed. I imagine it will play something like Smash Bros or Naruto, but I’d welcome Street Fighter-style gameplay, provided there is full support for all Wii-compatible controllers.
Maria Renard (Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night) and Shanoa (Order of Ecclesia) have also been confirmed.
I’m incredibly excited.
