I love Castlevania.  I love fighting games.  So why do I cringe at the thought of a Castlevania fighting game?  Maybe it's a case of over-kicking a dying-if-not-dead horse.  Anyway, GoNintendo.com has posted a slew of new screenshots for the Wii-exclusive title, due out this Winter, and from a technical standpoint, they look nice for a Wii title.  The costume design, however, is pure Japanese RPG.  Why is Simon wearing a open-chested, midriff-baring man-slut vest?  Why does Dracula have exhaust pipes coming out of his chest?  And just what in the hell is Maria wearing?!?!  Anyway, take a look and pass your own Castlevania Judgement!  (See what I did there?)
