Jean Snow over at Game|Life fills us in a little further on the new Castlevania for Wii–which is, yes, a fighting game. Quite a departure, and with Wiimote whippings to boot? I worry the fun of this game will be determined almost exactly by how much motion-control we have to finagle through. Environmental specific items as weapons sounds nice, though. Online support is definitely the right move. And DS interconnectivity with Order of Ecclesia for unlockables? Word.

Also looking forward to seeing the character art by Takeshi Obata (as fans of Death Note and Hikaru no Go should be).

No screens until E3, Snow says, but hopefully that means we’re only a couple weeks away from checking them out.
