Igarashi considers “whipping” up Castlevania for WiiWare
It is no secret that Caslevania is one of my favorite franchises, dating all the way back to my gaming days in 1987. It’s unique take on the Dracula mythology, mixed with intense action 2-D platforming have become a staple with goth titles these days thanks to various chapters on the Nintendo DS handheld. While many of us might be a little disappointed with the direction the series is going with Castlevania Judgement, it looks like there is hope for a full fledged original Castlevania feature. Koji Igarashi states:
With regards to WiiWare, I’m evaluating that right now, and to be honest, I think a 2D Castlevania game on WiiWare might be the right approach.
I wonder if they will follow in Capcom’s footsteps and provide a retro look, or stick to a contemporary Castlevania title with all the bells and whistles. Either way, Komami will have have hit on their hands.












While opening up the latest edition of Nintendo power this morning, I found some questionable art pictures for Castlevania Judgement. While I haven’t been a fan of the art direction since the NES days, this seriously has me shaking my head. How could Simon Belmont craft such an outfit while living in the late 1600’s? Even if he found a tailor that wouldn’t laugh as he explained the specifications of the outfit in question, why would he have crafted such a thing?
