The Castlevania Movie Might Not Suck

by Dan Landis on August 22, 2008

Having made the only videogame movies that have so far been close to not sucking (those being the original Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil), Paul W. S. Anderson is also producing the upcoming Castlevania movie. The Internet was abuzz with early negativity based on the rumors that the movie would not feature the iconic whip or even a member of the Belmont clan. PWSA pooped on those rumors at the end of an interview on Attack of the Show, a clip of which we have so graciously provided for you. Read more…

October 21st Will Be a Glorious Day (In America)

by Roly Reyes on August 19, 2008

October 21st will be the day BioShock for Playstation 3 and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (Nintendo DS) will be up for sale in North America; other countries, not so much. Thankfully, the wait they’ll have to endure will only be three and two days, respectively.

That leaves international launches for BioShock on October 24th and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on October 23rd. Oddly enough, 2K has not announced any plans to launch BioShock in Japan, and conversely Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia has yet to announce a date for the inevitable European release.

Castlevania gamers rejoiced when a new installment in the popular series was announced at this year’s E3. Fans then became less enthused when they learned that instead of a traditional action-adventure title like those the series is known for, the new Castlevania is going be a fighter for the Nintendo Wii.

In a recent interview with current Castlevania series producer Koji Igarashi, Wired questioned the man on this bizarre transition, and his answers were a little worrying. Read more…

E3 08 Hands-On Preview: Castlevania Judgment

by Rangebar Merani on July 16, 2008

Earlier today I got a chance to play the first Castlevania game for the Wii, Castlevania Judgment.

Judgment is the first Castlevania fighting game ever, placing generations of vampire hunters, including the Belmont Clan, against Dracula’s most fearsome cronies.

When I first took a look at the game, I wasn’t really impressed too much with the graphics. But after I thought about it, for a 3D Wii fighting game, they weren’t too bad. Read more…

WhipTen: Castlevania Script Review

by Andrew Podolsky on July 14, 2008

Aint It Cool News and CC2K have brought us the first ever script review of Paul W. S. Anderson’s new Castlevania movie, and it’s about as ugly as Medusa. The reviewer predicts, “I have no doubt it will crash and burn like so many of its predecessors.” Harsh words, and a bad omen for the director of the Resident Evil films, Mortal Kombat, and Aliens. vs. Predator. Read more…

Castlevania: Judgment has been under heavy scrutiny since Konami announced the series would enter the realm of fighters. Screens revealed bt the company should put some of those fears at bay as the game looks quite solid for a console without many fighting titles. Read more…

Small Smattering of Castlevania Fighter Details

by Emily Balistrieri on July 2, 2008

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.
