Castlevania Producer Hints At WiiWare Instalment

It's quite possible, expecially since he mentioned Wiiware in particular as opposed to some other venue.

that would be a definite buy if it was 1000 points or less

I'd pay a lot more than 1000 Points for a brand new 2-D Castlevania title on Wii Ware. In fact, as insane as it might sound, I keep hoping Nintendo might consider doing a new 2-D Metroid or Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii Ware. I know, I'm dreaming, but I can always hope. : )

Hey, I loved Lament of Innocence, but even I know that there is nothing like a good Castleoid to cure what ails ya. Here's hoping we get to see some more 2-D sidescrollers. I've never had more fun with a game (besides FF VI, 'natch) or set of games in my life!

Depending on the game's style, I'd be all over it like stink on a monkey!

Basically, I hated all the Castlevania games that lacked RPG elements.... Accept for "Curse of Darkness", loved that one.

Instant download

I'm the opposite, I'm sick of the Metroidvania games. I'd like a new 2D Castlevania WiiWare game like the good old days before SOTN.

RPG elements add depth to an otherwise simple fantasy hacknslash/platformer/adventure

oops..typo in the subject line. Installment has 2 L's

I wonder how big the DS games are, considering they'd have to shrink the game in order to make it fit.

Unless the games are under 43 MB, which I doubt.

This is only getting our hopes up. I thought the 3D castlevania games were pretty good.

Drools at thought.

This would be so awsome. Easily a 1500 point purchase.

I want DKC 4 wiiware danm it!

Actually Valien, Dazza's comment was the first thing I thought of when I read yours.

I found it strange that he mentioned "downloadable content". Could he possibly be referring to using the Wii shop channel as an access point to download extras to the DS game? Naturally I'd love to see a full Wii Ware release but I wonder if the 43MB would be enough to work with for a project like that. Either way, I'm glad the Wii will provide some kind of Castlevania goodness, especially sinse the GCN saw nothing from this series.

I would probably pick this up if it became available on WiiWare.

smashing site #2 lads!! keep up the great work! I lurv castlevania!!!

That would be incredible! Let's hope it's true!

firstly @ Rapadash6: I see no reason as to why they couldn't make great 2-D castlevania with the size limit. The most memory an SNES cart could hold was 48 Mbits or 6MB, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past was only 8 Mbits or 1MB, so it's definitely possible to make a great, lengthy Wiiware game.

Also on that note, I would love to see another GOOD 2-D Mega Man game released on wiiware. Give us another Mega Man X quality game CAPCOM, pretty please...

@Dazza: Brits spell "installment" with a single L? I knew about other words like "colour", "favourite" and "gray", but I had no idea about "instalment"...

Better work on my British-English.

Wow, this is amazing. I have always been a true Castlevania follower, and I hope that IGA will bless us with another worthy title besides the wonderful (could they possibly go wrong with one of the best game formulas ever?) upcoming DS game The Order of Ecclesia.

I'm really hoping that Castlevania + Wiiware will be reality. And I hope that Castlevania series continues for many years to come.

Castlevania + WiiWare. This cant go wrong (At least, it should not)

@Slionr: It didn't.
