Igarashi eyeing WiiWare 2D Castlevania platformer?

Alright, so we’re getting a 3D fighter in Castlevania Judgement. Purists are probably looking forward to Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on the DS, but it’s already the third Castlevania on the dual screened handheld. Will we being seeing the series return to its roots on home consoles anytime soon? Maybe! Series producer Koji Igarashi is thinking in terms of a non-retail release, however…

I’m definitely interested in WiiWare and I think it’s one of the areas that 2D can still be very strong at. I’m very much looking into that.

Is he taking a cue from Capcom’s upcoming Mega Man 9?

I’m watching that very closely to see how it does. Myself, I’m a big retro gaming fan, so if it is successful that definitely opens up doors for what I can do.

Sounds good to me!

    I'm still waiting for Castlevania III to show up on the Virtual Console. And Bloodlines. And Dracula X (TurboCD, not SNES), but at least I ahve that one for my PSP.

    Speaking of TurboCD, where's my Ys?
