Rumors have been flying around recently about a new Castlevania game popping up. First, we got word about Konami trademarking "Castlevania: Judgment" soon after the Order of Ecclesia trademark was found out. Next, there's some leaked screens that are supposedly from the next Castlevania DS title.
If you take a look at the title screen, there's a "Wii" option above the game start menu. While that's not proof-positive, this bit from CVG points out a bit of PR for the upcoming manga based on Castlevania: Curse of Darkness done by Kou Sasagura and being published by Tokyopop.
Cross-promoted with the 2008 video game releases, which include games for the Nintendo Wii and DS (Fall 2008)
That says a bit more about things, now doesn't it? At the very least, we have two upcoming Castlevania games this year. If "Judgment" is in fact a totally different game, we've got first word on a third title being cranked out. Speculation is go!

But on the other hand, Hiroyuki Kobayashi said he'd cut off his own head with a chainsaw if RE4 was released on a system other than the Gamecube...
Motion Controls?
I know that would be the kind of Castlevania game I would want. Why do Wii games have to automatically equal crazy waggle? I mean, they do most of the time but that doesn't mean every developer has to enforce it. Remember when this crap happened on the DS and everyone assumed DS games had to use touch screen? I don't know why this is still an issue with Wii. Give me a 2.5D game with maybe some point and click interactivity and I will be sold.
Konami don't toy with my emotions like that. This better be fucking good.
IGA just said a few weeks ago that he still didn't know what he'd do with a Wii Castlevania so he must either be playing dumb or someone else is making it.
I just wish he'd do a 2D Castlevania on 360 or PS3. He can't seem to admit to himself that the series doesn't work in 3D.
As a Wii owner this excites me, but as I'm planning on getting Order of Ecclesia I think there'd be a case of Castlevania burnout of the Wii game is yet another 2D game.

Inconsistent Wii controls + medusa heads + spikes below = pending frustation
When is that Vanillaware's Wii game coming out, anyway?
Oh, and hard drive support, too. (Sorry, I have to mention that every time I talk about WiiWare now.)
