Nintendo Reconfirms Wii Shipments
Gamasutra has Nintendo's 're-confirmation' that they're going to try to ship 6 Million units by the end of March 2007. If you're looking forward to Nintendo's new-gen console, their upcoming media event on September 14th may have just what you're looking for. The article also has a few details on upcoming accessories. From the article: "Although the price and release date of the Wii console and controller is not likely to be revealed until worldwide press events on September 14th and 15th, the Gamestop website lists a number of peripherals for release on November 1st. Included on the site is a Wii 'Controller Glove' for $9.99, a 'HD Premium Component Cable' for $59.99 and a 'S-Video Premium AV Cable' for $39.99." Relatedly, 1up has the news that Castlevania's creator is warming to the Wii. This will result in Belmont-related adventures for the Wii, one would hope.
Found out yesterday that Sony isn't including a HDMI cable in their packages. OK I can sorta see why.
"'HD Premium Component Cable' for $59.99 "
Component cables should be included. This isn't the 1980's.
Why not just make it a video game? Maybe one where Fred Savage finally figures out that his whole career is a joke/pop culture reference and decides to commit suicide. You can use the Wii and it's tactical feedback to kill Fred many different imaginative ways.
What do you think, too dark?

I made, and repeated, a silly typo... the OP said something completely retarded.
You, you just trolled me because you're a spelling nazi douchebag.
Crazy IGA is (possibly) making a new Castlevania game for the Wii? Pass.
Not that the recent handheld CV games haven't had some fun to them but I don't think that a Wii CV will be 2D. The last two 3D games have been annoying yawn-fests that have caused me to lose any hope of there ever being a good 3D CV. Heck, the N64 game(s) were flawed but at least they had some promise; the IGA produced ones are just pointless.
OK, I'm a little bitter. People associate Castlevania with Koji Igarashi (IGA) even though he hasn't really done anything to better the series for quite some time. Why don't people mention the music and art direction from Ayami Kojima and Michiru Yamane? IGA hasn't even fulfilled the promise of a modern port of Chi no Rondo although we did get a remake of the X68000 version as a consolation prize.
Just stick to the 2D games until you "perfect" your 3D games a little more.
