Rumours regarding a Castlevania game for the Wii have been floating around for a while now, but finally somthing solid has been announced. Castlevania Judgement will be coming to the Wii, but it's not the game that fans might have expected. It appears to be spinoff title rather than a typical Castelvania game, and will be the series' first fighting game. So far, Dracula, Simon, Alucard, Shanoa and Maria Renard have been confirmed as being playable, and classic subweapons such as magic spells, holy water, dagger and boomerang will be usable. Destructible environments will be featured, and traps will be available, which can be set at a certain place on the stage.

The game's controls make use of the Wii Remote's motion sensing, with the remote being used for basic attacks, while the nunchuk will be used for movement. Some good news for fans of the series is the fact that remixed classic Castlevania music will be featured. The first screenshot has been spotted, and is available for you to look at. No release date has been set at this point.

That should be Maria Renard, not Mario renard...

You know you've been playing Brawl too long when you do something like that automatically.
