Castlevania Wii Practically Confirmed?

RUMOUR: Yet more signs of a possible Castlevania entry on Nintendo's Wii have surfaced.

An odd one this, but still interesting - a listing found by Nintendo Everything on a comic book retailer's website confirms a Wii Castlevania game on the way.

As part of the description for Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, there's an interesting tidbit that points to a release for Wii this year: "Cross-promoted with the 2008 video game releases, which include games for the Nintendo Wii and DS Fall 2008"

Wii, this year? Or an unfortunate misprint?

2D or 3D?

One thing is for sure, it will not feature whip movement initiated by movement of the Wii Remote as Igarashi has said many times when asked about the possibility.

Personally, I would love a 2D game of the highest calibre, one that reminds me of Castelvania 4 in it's presentation. The music in that game was a masterpiece and I hope they can replicate something similar to create the same level of atmosphere. I would also like them to take advantage of the very best 2D effects possible these days, and to employ them inteligently, in a way that amazes players in the same way the Mode7 techniques did in the first game.

There is definitely a Wii game coming imo. Konami released a screenshot of the new DS games menu screen and failed to realise in doing so that they were also showing compatibility with the Wii. There is definitely a option to link up the game with a Wii console for whatever reason.linkyshinks

Can you link that screenshot?

Although I have never seen this screenshot, I know it's true. It was mentioned in an interview with Castlevania designer.

In an interview with Koji Igarashi on Gametrailers he states that he doesn't plan on putting a new 3d castlevania game on the Wii because he wants people to play it for a long time. 2d sidescroller maybe?

Unfortunately no, Games Radar was asked by Konami to take down the relevant pic soon after it went up after they realised their mistake. Although I can assure you there is connectivity to the Wii.

Yep, that's why I think this whole thing is total bumbkis. On nintendo voice chat, matt said the creators intend to no longer make console 2D games, and the creators also said on GT that they do not want to make a 3D game on the wii.

In other words, don't expect the wii to ever get a castlevania

If there ever is a Castlevania game for the Wii (which I don't think there will be for a while) then I want it to be like 'Symphony of the Night'.

That was decent.

If it's in 2D or in 2.5D, I'll be interested. 3D Castlevania games sucked. chris3116

Hoping for a Symphony of the Night wii clas sic controller only game...oh please do it...

And it'd kinda be surprising though for it to be released this year, since the new DS castlevania is being released this year (really excited for that one.)

Would be cool, but not clasic controller...do it like a lost winds set up. Let me use the IR to whip in 360 degrees.
