Wii Castlevania to be 3D Fighter

Meh...

by Sarah

A while back, it was hinted in an issue of Previews that a Castlevania game for the Wii may be coming out sometime this year. Well, according to website GoNintendo, this has been confirmed via magazine Nintendo Power, complete with screenshots. Don't start celebrating yet, though--it's not a straightforward action game at all. No, instead the game will be a 3D fighter. Yes, I'm disappointed too.

Here are the facts, according to GoNintendo:

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

I just want to know why anyone thought this was a good idea. Fans of the series have been waiting for a Wii Castlevania practically since the system launched, and this is what you're giving us? Really??? I am so completely underwhelmed right now, I don't even know what to do with myself. Good thing I've got Order of Ecclesia for the DS coming out this year as well, so my life won't be completely deprived of vampire slaying.
