Interesting Wii news today and here is a bit more :D

Whatcha Think ?

Castlevania Judgment screenshots want to judge your Castlevanias screenshot

I make the best headlines in the whole of the Blogocube.

Anyway, here are ten screenshots of Wii fighting game spin-off Castlevania Judgment. As far as Wii games go, this one isn't looking too visually shabby. A lot of developers seem to think that Wii games give them an excuse for shoddy graphics, so it's good to see Konami putting some actual effort in.

Among the characters shown is old Castlevania favorite Death, who is looking a bit like Vivien from The Young Ones. A skeletal, ethereal Vivien, grant you.

Is anybody looking forward to this one? I know it had its skeptics when it was first announced but I can imagine it doing quite well. I may not be very good at fighting games, but I certainly wouldn't mind watching other, superior humans, playing it.

I don't like the way Death looks.

I really wasn't satisfied when I seen Alucard either.

This is one of the worst ideas for a game I've ever seen.

Konami needs to get their **** together, make a new, proper, 2D Castlevania, and release it over XBLA for 1200-1600 MSP.

Was it the controller which was the issue? Because I was reading today that you can use the GC controller.

Myself I am going to wait on reviews. Part of he thinks this game will suck the other part is like hmmmmmmm.

Another 2D CV on consoles would be great. Keep it to its roots like what Capcom did with Mega Man.

That looks absolutely terrible.

It looks like a generic PS2 game.

I wish they had used the gothic art style from SOTN rather than this mediocre anime vibrancy.

Not only the character design is awful, but Konami never did a good fighter. What a waste of money and time.

Final Fantasy Fables Chocobo's Dungeon is pretty good actually. So was umbrella chronicles.

This definitely isn't helping me into getting a Wii and I love the Castlevania series. If they made an epic 2D Castlevania for the consoles...that would be awesome.

I would love a Castlevania 2D for consoles as well. I dont understand why people assume it would have/need motion controls for a whip. They can just make it similar to Symphony of the Night or the DS iterations.
