Castlevania Judgment for Wii!

[CockroachMan]

Feels like April's 1st today.. after Megaman.. next Nintendo Power is showing a new Castlevania game for the Wii! Which is a 3D FIGHTER!

from gonintendo.com:

Characters confirmed thus far - Dracula, Simon, Alucard, Shanoa, and Maria Renard.
Classic subweapons - holy water, magic spells, dagger, boomerang
Subweapon use still depends on hearts
Remixed classic Castlevania tunes
Set traps, destroyable environments, enemy monsters interfere with battle
Nunchuck controls character movement, Wiimote used for motion attacks

Is it me or does it feel wrong?

 

[Minox]

Castlevania as a 3D fighter=fail?

I think it could be interesting, but it doesn't sound like a Castlevania game to me.

 

[Gaisuto]

What....in the hell...?

 

[MagNetCZ]

What, no castle exploration? What has the world come to...

 

[sfunk]

I guess I'm not alone in feeling that this is not what I/we want...

 

[CockroachMan]

I won't judge it before at least seeing more of it.. it might end up being a good game.. but, still, I can't stop thinking "WHAT THE FUCK ?"

 

[Hihomaster]

oh noes 3D fighting game it smells the FAIL

 

[The Teej]

What. the. flying. fuck.

PRESS A TO ATTACK! A A A A A A A A WIN!

Castlevania 3D fighter is going to end up like a Soul Calibur clone (with magic items), I'll almost put money on it.

Castlevania should be what its always been 2D side-scroller platformer

I really don't see it as as fighter

but yeah "insert WTF!? moment here"

 

[R2DJ]

I was expecting an adventure one.

Indeed, this feels wrong, in any way.

 

[XeonZ]

o.0

Not sure the Wii is the best platform either.

 

[Master Mo]

If I wanted a 3D-Fighter I don`t need Castlevania... It is not the Genre, which Castlevania was made for!

I don`t want this...

Well said, I couldn´t have put it any better.

As if there aren´t enough fighters out there. What a sad way for a great franchise to go out.

I think Eccelsia (hope I wrote it right

) is looking absolutely brilliant and it will do the things a Castlevania game has to do best... and hopefully even better then its predecessors!

 

[megabug7]

WHY is it that Nintendo consoles (not handhelds) gets the crap Castlevania's (the 2 N64 games) now this...........

 

[yuyuyup]

A. What the fuck ? B. NO console castlevania is any good (I never tried n64 versions but I assume) C. HEY COULD be good D. God damn it this better be good.

 

[Vater Unser]

I won't judge it before at least seeing more of it..
I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but I've already seen enough...

JESUS CHRIST

I'm not saying this game will suck in any case, but come on...It's a fighting game, it's on the Wii, and it's in competition with Soul Calibur IV, King of Fighters XIII and fucking Street Fighter IV. This is certainly not the right time for Konami to come up with some Beat'em Up game nobody would want to play even if the aforementioned ones didn't exist...

When Igarashi said he found a way to bring Castlevania to the Wii, I don't think this was what anyone imagined

And why is it in 3D? My god, why is it in 3D?

Last thing Igarashi said was that he's a big fan of 2D graphics, and now this?

Yeah, bringing out a 3D fighting game on the Wii is a really good idea, as you can see...
Seriously, couldn't they at least have TRIED to make the game look good? Making it look better than Soul Calibur 3, a GameCube game, would have been a good start.

Wrong.
Ever played Symphony on the Night on the PSX/Saturn/X360?
It's not only great, it's in fact widely regarded as the best Castlevania game there is, and I'd have to agree...

 

[B-Blue]

It's gonna suck

I know it . . .
