Castlevania Judgment coming to Wii News

Wii News by Ellie Gibson

2 July, 2008

Konami has confirmed the forthcoming release of the first fighting game in the Castlevania series, exclusively for Wii.

Castlevania Judgment is being overseen by veteran producer Koji "Iga" Igarashi. It'll feature loads of characters from the series' 22-year history, and is billed as an "ideal entry point into the fighting game genre".

3D environments are promised, along with characters designed by manga artist Takeshi Obata. You'll use the remote and nunchuk to slash, stab and whip enemies. Plus you'll be able to set traps and command monsters, and use objects in the environments as weapons.

There's an online mode so you'll be able to battle it out via Wi-Fi Connection. And to top it all off, linking up with DS game Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia will unlock gameplay content.

Castlevania Judgment is out in the US this "fall". There's no word on a European release as yet.

"Ideal entry into the fighting game genre"? Button basher then. I'll pass, but it's nice to see more Wii releases that aren't mini-game collections.

The only plus side to it all is they are doing something different with the series instead of SOTN 2D clones, the last DS game was a snort fest.......

What do you do when every Castlevania gamer would like to see a true 2D Castlevania classic on a console again?..... FFS
I hope Megaman 9 and Warioland Shake will bring Konami back to senses.

Both Konami and Square Enix are out of touch with what their fans really want...

Konami: Just give us a proper 2D Castlevania on a non-handheld.
Square Enix: Just give us a proper turn based VII sequel instead of all those average RPG action games and CG movies.

I'd even go with an HD remake of Super Castlevania, but a proper sequel is needed.

I wouldn't mind 3d environments and characters as long as it was presented in a fixed 2D camera style format... I suspect this isn't.

I'd love to see a Powerstone clone or Powerstone 3. Still Powerstone 2 will be hard to beat :-)

The scans didn't show a Powerstone like game though, it showed a close up side view combat ala Soul Calibur, but with crappy designed characters, seriously Simon looks like a kinky manwhore, this Alucard is Alucard's gay brother & Dracula has tits all over his body.
