Castlevania Judgment screenshots want to judge your Castlevanias photo

#Castlevania #Konami #wii

I make the best headlines in the whole of the Blogocube.

Anyway, here are ten screenshots of Wii fighting game spin-off Castlevania Judgment. As far as Wii games go, this one isn't looking too visually shabby. A lot of developers seem to think that Wii games give them an excuse for shoddy graphics, so it's good to see Konami putting some actual effort in.

Among the characters shown is old Castlevania favorite Death, who is looking a bit like Vivien from The Young Ones. A skeletal, ethereal Vivien, grant you.

Is anybody looking forward to this one? I know it had its skeptics when it was first announced but I can imagine it doing quite well. I may not be very good at fighting games, but I certainly wouldn't mind watching other, superior humans, playing it.

From my experience with the early build of the game I'm not looking forward to it at all. But it was an early build i suppose.

VisMortua

This game looks absolutely horrible from what I've seen in vids and gameplay. Sad, sad, sad to think this is going to be a representation of Castlevania.

JoshDunford

The more I see the less excited I am.

I'm assuming "Eric" is LeCarde but why he looks like a 12 year old fucking girl is beyond me.

Death has no feet. Nor does he need them to make people die. Because he is Death.

Mr Gilder

Why has my Eric Lacarde a weeeeee child. He is my favorite Castlevania character. I am sad now.

JoshDunford

Childlike physicality aside...

He DOES kind of look like a chick in that picture.
(didn't realize I didn't know how to spell his name either!)

covah

Psh, I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm gonna give it a try just because 1. It's Castlevania and 2. I love Obata's art

Eternal Champions 3D?

The game doesn't look that bad, considering it's on the Wii.
Also I'm sort of looking forward to this, but I was also looking forward to the horrible Soul Calibur Legends. Though I doubt this one will be as bad.

Lightthrower

This game reminds me of all the bad fighting games that were on the Nintendo 64 like Mace: The Dark Age.

Tron Knotts

After playing this at E3, all I could think of was Soul Calibur Legends.

Yeah, it was that bad.

But it was just recently announced that the game would support the GC controller. That will actually make a big difference.

The motion controls for this game are horrible, like Boogie level of horrible.

- That might be the best and worst title you have ever come up with. LOL

bluemeep

I'll be picking it up out of sheer morbid curiosity.

Where the hell is Richter? If he doesn't make it, that's gonna be so dumb. Item crash system? That should make for some awesome gameplay.

The Faux-Bot

Vivian! You complete and utter bastard!

Holyetheline

Yeah those visuals do look good for wii

DinnertimeNinja

I disagree.

This game looks worse that Soul Calibur 3 on PS2. I mean, that WAS a good looking gamea nd all, but this is getting pathetic.

Stone Temple Pilot

It's funny to see gamers whine about spin-offs. You still got your old Castlevanias to play with. Yes they're cool, but not that cool. To speak frankly, the movements are pretty stiff in those games..

SoulCalibur Legends was bad in the level design, but the controls were pretty good. If you disagree, you haven't spend the time with the sensor bar and tuning up the sensitivity. I guess.

GohanGVO

I just want it to be like 'Power Stone.' :3
