Castlevania wii fighter

The recently rumoured Castlevania game for the Nintendo Wii has been revealed, but not as fans may expect.

Going from the Side Scrolling platformer fans know and love, the game will be a 3D fighter of all things, including characters from the series.

According to the magazine, the Nunchuk controls character movement and the Wii Remote is used for motion attacks. We presume that means you shake to swing your weapon of choice.

Characters so far confirmed are Dracula, Simon, Alucard, Shanoa and Maria Renard. Classic weapons like holy water, magic spells, the dagger and the boomerang will be returning and a bunch of old Castlevania tunes will be remixed for the game.

Being such a classic and loved series, this rather drastic change in direction may worry and annoy fans, who would have been looking forward to a classic return to Castlevania with the wii's waggling abilities.
