Rumor: 'Mankind ill needs a Castlevania Wii game such as this' [update]
Disaster!
Of all the different directions you expected Konami to take with Castlevania's Wii debut, we're sure that "3D fighting game" was not one of them. Nonetheless, the above shot is what allegedly appeared in the latest issue of Nintendo Power.
Other rumored details we heard through the grapevine (oh, and we're just about to lose our mind)? Honey, honey:
Wii remote used for motion attacks, Nunchuk for character movement
Rumored characters include Simon, Alucard, Shanoa, Maria Renard, and, of course, Dracula
Holy water, magic spells, dagger, and boomerang subweapons
Using subweapons requires hearts
Remixed classic Castlevania tracks
Destroyable environments
Enemy monsters jump into the battle
Placeable traps
Steals men's souls, and makes them its slaves!
No word yet on whether you'll be able to throw plates of curry at your opponents. Your thoughts?
At least we have Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the Nintendo DS to look forward to, still!
Update: More shots from the Nintendo Power pages added after the break!
