Caslevania art - Image 1Okay, so quite a good number of fans reacted strongly against Konami's Castlevania Judgment. But this certainly does not stop others to still wish that Koji Igarashi's latest 2D adventure be also brought to the DS.

Apart from that wish, hardcore supporters are also "begging for Igarashi" to bring a traditional Castlevania title to the consoles. While we hear nothing about granting the particular wish of the fans, what we have heard is that Igarashi is looking at WiiWare.

Telling MTV Multiplayer at E3 last week, "I'm definitely interested in WiiWare and I think it's one of the areas that 2D can still be very strong at... I'm very much looking into that."

Very much looking into that, huh? Well then it seems like they're already examining the pros and cons and the probable benefits of bringing an oldie Castlevania to WiiWare. Maybe this time you can share your ideas with him on what you guys want to see on WiiWare, and so critics will be more favorable for him next time.

Then everybody's happy.

PSN and XBLA are also open for business Iga! (Just ask Capcom)



'My' Wii is still available at my mom's place, but as far as Im concerned, its only for game rentals. WiiWare is off limits. VC is only for buying licenses of games I'd like to play on other hardware.



So I'd love to give ya my money for some 2D castlevania love, but my money is only available on the real consoles.

Castlevania Remake? Fail!



New Castlevania game with Castlavania 1 gameplay? FAIL!!!!!!!!



It seems someone bought this guy a one way ticket on the FAILboat. His fighter is looking like a stinky pile of crap, and I'm a Castlevania fan believe it or not. SoTN was one of my favorite side scrollers, up there with Super Metroid. This guy has just fallen out of touch with what his fans really want.



This game will do slightly worse than Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi.

Shut up you hater! It's fine and all to dislike the game, but seriously don't throw a fit cause he isn't creating a game specifically tailored for your tastes....



By the way, any 2-D Castlevania game that will remind me of my frustration back in 1987 is a present I hope I receive on the VC alongside Mega Man 9.

Really? I honestlty don't think I could play a "classic" looking Castlevania without a controller that feels like a NES gamepad myself...

» WTF!?!?!?!?!

I look forward to seeing anything he has to offer. If it's good then get it! Why would someone not buy a game they might like just because the media is something specific? Where did the WiiWare hate come from?



I'm still having a blast playing Toki Tori. Fun times!!!

Really? I thought you didn't like that upcoming Castlevania fighting game. ISO flip-flop strikes again!

But from the picture, don't you think he looks like an Asian Johnny Depp?

I'm sure Nintendo will make one and sell it to you for $40.

As usual, you're an idiot and can't understand a common language.



More proof of that Best Tech School education eh?



I said I look forward to SEEING anything he has to offer. I didn't say I would automatically LIKE everything I saw. Hell, I even flat out stated as such in my comment:



"If it's good then get it!"



See the word "IF"? Do you know what "if" means little boy?



You have got to be the dumbest person I have ever come across...
