Castlevania Judgement Revealed! A Fighter? UPDATED

http://gonintendo.com/?p=47669

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

There's no way Simon can possibly beat Alucard?

I think I'll pass...

UPDATE: According to the article in Nintendo Power, there will be DS to Wii connectivity it is the only way to unlock Maria. There is a special gauge in order for you to perform a final smash attack. It will be an online fighting game and nothing is known about it. Last the character model design is being made by manga artist of Death Note Takeshi Obata.

While it may sounds dandy an all, but this is still the worst idea yet.

UPDATE 2: What Iga said

I guess some fans may worry about the game quality, but I am confident that we can achieve a very high-quality game. I think that fans...will see that it stays true to the Castlevania series. Even though this is a fighting game I can guarantee that it will be fun Iga

Of course we be worried, there hasn't been that many 3rd party developers taking seriously towards there Wii games that are spinoffs like Soul Caliber Legends, we all known the end results to that game. If Iga can pull this off then I'll might actually buy this game if you did achieve to make this game a high quality game. But for now, I'm still not liking the idea of making a Castlevania fighting game.

Gah it should of been 2D ... looks boring.Meu2k7

I would also agree, but a fighting game? This has to be the worst idea yet.

Weird.

A Castlevania fighter? Could work, but it's not for me.

this is getting real depressing Castlevania is in my top 3 franchises of all time and they come out with this crap, Konami should slap themselves. Why cant they make an actual next gen castlevania game for the 360 and PS3. what they need to do is make a 2d castlevania with many alternate endings atleast 20 hours of gameplay and mind blowing 2d graphics, oh and of course a kick ass soundtrack by Michiru Yamane.

oh well we can all dream right

believe it or not they could actually do much better than GG graphics wise. remember GG is a last gen game. with the 360 or PS3 they can utilize the GPU for great colors and effect but the CPU should be able to offload much work to improve AA to maybe 16ms Anti aliasing for zero jaggies

:lol: That's actually a great GIF.

And it explained the first time I first saw the article in Gonintendo.com

I think i'll pass.

I might turn out to be a good fighter, but it shouldn't be called Castlevania.

Developers need to stop this. No one asked for this, and no one asked for Mortal Kombat vs DC. series need to stay true to their roots, all while evolving. serious changes in genre like this ARE NOT NEEDED

Fighting games have proved that they do not work on Nintendo systems post SNES.

Gamecube controller= Garbage

Wii= I dunno how it would work

N64=Weired

DS=Where are the fighting games

GBA=I dont remember any fighting games.

I agree, a new name and a different cast would be acceptable.

I was hoping that Judgement would be the last Castlevania we see Dracula since it is called Judgement and would have been place after Portrait of Ruin and before Aria of Sorrow. Understanding the resurrection of the Belmontes and the final battle with the Belmontes vs Dracula.

Also, with a capcom controller, SNK vs Capcom is great.

And BTW, what's wrong with the N64 controller being wired. They all were back then

Gamecube controller= Garbage
Worked fine for SC and several other fighters. Gamecube controller at least had a suitable D-pad although it was too small and sometimes acted strangely. The stick controls were fine.

Wii= I dunno how it would work
GCN controller compatibility if you don't like the Wii controls, I guess. Wiimote is more D-pad based if that's your thing.

GBA=I dont remember any fighting games.
Tekken and Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Thats not a fighting game... In the traditional sense anyways. I take Jeff's stance as SSB as not a fighting game.

And the Gamecube controller was awkward since the face buttens were asymetrical.

The N64 is the most functional out of the bunch along with the DS but still strange compared to the Dual Shock or even the original SNES controller.

For the Wii. You could but then you would have to develop it exclusively for the Wii and considering the dizmal state of fighting games thats not really an option, and that you could plug in a classic controller but then devleopment would have to essentially work on two games at once.

:shock:

Why a fighter dammit?

Umm.... No, Bleach:BoF is nothing comparable to the DBZ fighting games but its almost as good as the Street Fighter games. Plus it was made by Treasure.

at least it's not castlevania kart or castlevania warsakif22

Konami should hire Itagaki and his followers and let them work on a 3D action Adventure Castlevania instead.

What...? Interesting concept, I suppose...

Let's hope they can pull it off, because as of the moment, it doesn't seem too promising.

I guess you've never heard of the Bleach series for the DS, one of the most polished handheld fighter(s) out there. Or Super Smash Bros., which is easily one of the top fighters in the past couple gens.

I guess I'm the only one here who finds it interesting. I love Castlevania, too bad I don't own a Wii. DS connectivity would be cool, at least its being integrated into the game.

Facepalm

Fixed ;)

Because this is a huge letdown for Wii owners and Castlevania fans.
