Castlevania Coming to the Wii?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the getting-over-the-controller-aversion dept.

CVG picked up on a recent blurb in Preview magazine mentioning a Wii version of Castlevania. This comes as a surprise after Koji Igarashi's hesitance concerning the Wii in general and more specifically the Wii-mote. "It says the book will be 'cross-promoted with 2008 video game releases, which include games for Nintendo Wii and DS (Fall 2008).' We already knew about a new Castlevania DS game, but the Wii version is news to us. We've contacted Konami, but unfortunately they were unable to comment on the matter."

    Konami has historically decided what we need is 3d releases for the console only, despite how much we don't want it and refuse to buy the 3d ones. So, I would assume they would be hesitant to put it on the wii because it doesn't offer as hardware for overkill on 3d graphics which no one will buy.

    Also they know we would like a castlevania for the wii, so they may have decided we need it exclusively for one of the less popular consoles. Possibly the phantom console. I'm suprised they haven't declared their intention to only make 2d handheld games for the Ngage.
