So there have been A LOT of rumors flying around about this franchise. We already know a DS Castlevania will arrive soon, that goes by the name "Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia". You can find the trialer here:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34621.html

But what about a Wii version? Anyone excited about using the Wiimote as a whip?

There is a website containing information for a Japanese manga about the Castlevania series, and the manga summary states that it is based on "Castlevania Games on Wii and DS(Fall 2008)". Could that mean Konami is planning a simultaneous release of a Wii Castlevania with the DS one? :wtf: Or could it be a simple typo? :shrug: Who knows? But we should discuss it.

I'd also like to discuss the DS trialer. It seems they are doing away with the "control-two-characters-at-one-time" concept from Portrait of Ruin, while allowing you to play as two characters. ( or so I think ) The girl is definitely the main character, but that blonde guy with the gun(s) looks like another main character that the game will switch you over to, or possibly switch to him on the fly. The powers in this one look interesting, and the boss fights look really really awesome. 'Specially that one with the giant crab.

    Idon't know if anyone else noticed this but seems this time around they're returning to the older more stylized art rather than a generic anime feel, let it also be said I am totally psyched for this game!

      That art style looked really amazing, everything kinda seems to move on its own. 'Specially that girl's hair, it looked like a tentacle monster

      Yeah! This and Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2 are looking to be some of the best DS games in a while.
      But theres nothing quite like a good Castlevania I'm late to the series though, I started w/ DoS and went back and Played AoS, HoD and then PoR
      (yes I'm lazy and don't feel like spelling those out...) :P

        Hey! I started with Dawn of Sorrow too! Then I spent my time after that scrambling for the rest of the Castlevania games. Everything from buying them cheap at the local GameStop to begging my friends to let me borrow their copy. I'm so hooked on it.

    That would be Harmony of Dissonance (HoD) which I never beat... I need to download Symphony of th night form the xbox arcade or find it on PS1, apparently its one of the best in the series.
    My favorite so far is Dawn of Sorrow which, in my mind, will be tough to beat. PoR didn't do it for me, it was a great game but didn't measure up to DoS.

    I played SotN originally, and fell in love with the exploring, weapons, and boss battles. Finally got another game in the form of DoS when I got a new DS Lite, devoured that with a near 100 percent, and then proceeded to beat the crap out of PoR. Needless to say, I'm itching to get a change to lay my hands on this new one for the DS.

    I really need by platforming/fighting fix, and it looks like Order of Ecclesia is going to sate me with a monster dose.

    Man, I love the Castlevania series. I played PoR for months, I'm currently playing Aria Of Sorrow. I'd love another one, though I'd be more interested in the DS version. :B

    If the Wii version was any good, then I might shell out for one and the game >.>
