Forums - Nintendo - Does anyone else think Castlevania for the Wii would be sweet?

Astrodust on 22 August 2007

There isn't much news on this game, only that Konami was one of the companies that dismissed the Wii in the beginning but since have had a change of heart. I read somewhere that Castlevania creator Koji Igarashi has some ideas for a Wii Castlevania game. If this game played and looked like Resident Evil 4, it could really be sweet. The weapons in Castlevania are perfect for the Wiimote, water bottle, axe, knives. And if they added real physics to the whip, how freaking sweet that would be. The settings could be like Resident Evil 4. Remote villages and paths. Eventually reaching Draculas castle and climbing flights of stairs.

Here is what I would like to see for the whip:

- quick snaps for fast attacks.

- figure 8 for horizontal attacks that hit more than one enemy.

- figure 8 + quick snaps for strong attacks.

- 2 figure 8's + quick snaps for special attacks.

- upgrades would be nice such as the Morning Star.

- the ability to swing across the room with the whip.

If anyone else has something to add to the game that would be cool.

2d Castlevanias: Thumbs up
3d Castlevanias: Thumbs down

I guess it could be good but thus far 3d Castlevania games have not inspired any faith.



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

I think for the Wii it has got to be 3D. Just imagine Resident Evil 4 with a whip.

If they make a game for the Wii, yes. I'd rather they stick to 2d side scrollers on the DS.

I think a good 3D Castlevania would be possible. It could be like Zelda TP, with a whip lock button.

Please stay 2D. 3D is ruination for the Castlevania series and 2D has been excellent. Games like Odin Sphere show you can still make a great 2D game, and Castlevania, with its distinguished 2D pedigree, should heed that. Whip motions would be cool, as would being able to do different motions for special weapons like the boomerang, axe, holy water, etc. You could even use the Wiimote to perform spells a la Symphony of the Night, or special weapon powers. Damn this could be so cool!

I'd love it, thumbs up on 3d but Castlevania 64 was seriously really hard when i was little but i still think it was an awesome game! it doesn't have to be like RE4 to be a good game make it something of its own.

I liked the 3D Castlevanias, even the "crappy" N64 ones (I own both).



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

The game's director thinks the Wiimote would not be suitable for such a game. Of course he hasn't found a decent 3D control scheme for the series anyway, so I'm not trusting his judgment on that.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
