New scans from JEUXFRANCE.

I really don't know what to think, I love Castlevania series but I never expected something like this ...

Hello? Ever heard of Castlevania III and IV?

But anyways, I'm seeing the expected knee-jerk reactions. Big surprise. Of course I'd rather have a game from the main series(if there is even a "main" series to Castlevania any more), but I'm open to the idea for this game. You better bring the goods on this one Konami, that's all I have to say.

I like that Simon, a whole bunch more than the one from the saturday morning cartoon.

I'll give it a try. It never hurts to try something new. I agree with another poster who said they weren't excited for the new DS entry. I'm glad that it's not a 3D traditional Castlevania on the Wii.

It doesn't look as half assed as Soul Calibur Legends so it might be a decent spin off.

First of all I hated the 3D CastleVania's....I was schocked to find out this was a 3D FIGHTER....And a fighter who is only playable with the Wii mote and nunchuck...

Ugh...this is not good for my heart;...

You know, if Konami just felt like throwing away some money... they could consider giving me some.  ^_^

Looking at the screen shot it actually looks pretty good. That being said, I am a bit shocked and this and odd direction to go. We shall see. It's like Soul Caliber Legends but in reverse.

I am still disappointed by this Castlevania being a fighting game

My initial reaction was "What the hell!!?" and then after that "hmm....alright, I'm interested"

It is a shocker, but a non-traditional 3d tourney fighter with Castlevania characters actually sounds incredibly bad ass. Alucard Vs Simon? I am there. Well, provided it turns out good. I'll definately keep my eye on it at the least.


But this does show a really annoying flaw in wii owners. They don't want jack, they seem to hate everything. This is a unique game that looks like it's getting alot of effort from a great company from a great franchise and the overwhelming reaction is "This is shit, give me something more traditional". If you want traditional and often times generic action adventure beatemup/shootemups go get a 360 or PS3 they've got tons. If you want traditional why did you buy a wii, something that was trying to shake tradition off in favor of something completely different? I love my wii BECAUSE it gets these sorts of games, the kind that I won't find anywhere else.

I have yet to see a fighting game that can work in motion controls well. Given Konam's less than stellar track record with the genre I am far less than hopeful. I do wonder what the connection to the DS version is though.
