Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH is to bring its world-famous Castlevania series to Nintendo Wii in the form of Castlevania Judgment, an all-new action title featuring a wealth of characters from the series’ 22-year history.
Created by series creator Koji ‘IGA’ Igarashi, Castlevania Judgment is a roving fighting game utilising heroes and villains from the Castlevania universe. The fighting game has been designed specifically for the Wii, and uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to offer a stunning level of control over the central heroes. Taking centre stage within a series of 3D locations inspired by previous Castlevania games, the controllers are used to slash, stab and employ a series of attacks against the assorted minions of Dracula.
- Review
Name: Castlevania Judgment
Genre: Fighting
Platform: Nintendo Wii
In an interview with Nintendo Power in 2006, Castlevania creator Koji Igarashi said the following:
“For me, the Nintendo Wii controller doesn't yet connect with the core gameplay of Castlevania. I definitely don't want to make a game with gimmicky controls where you swing the controller like a whip...”
Since that interview, Koji has admitted to warming up to the system, explaining that it has inspired some ideas for the series. Just two years later, Castlevania Judgment has been released for the Nintendo Wii in fighting game form, far removed from typical dungeon crawls. It’s not what gamers wanted or expected, and the initial outcry was fierce, but if Super Smash Brothers taught us anything, it’s that turning a popular series to a fighter isn’t always the worst thing that can happen.
