Outside of the graphics for a second (as your images and link don't work for me), I really don't see Castlevania as a good choice for a fighter. I love the series a tonne, but I never really found that characters iconic enough to make a fighter.
Still, we'll see.

Don't you have bigger screens?

EDIT : Graphics aren't that bad, sort of want... but I'm sure the first gameplay footage/ article will change this.

Someone should tell konami that the Wii does not support 2560x1920

I guess these'll look better at a normal resolution.

Why even bother with posting these screens if you're just gonna dog on the game and lay down some flame bait? I don't understand people....
 
Ouch, these screens REALLY shouldn't be in that high a resolution, it's not flattering at all. The art style itself looks fine, though...I'm happy with that.

So far, so good. All the bits of the traditional Castlevania they have tossed in with the 3D fighting sounds pretty promising, and the visuals look fine to me. Still on my watch list!

I love castlevania too but this announcement is as bad as Parasite Eve for cell phones or a normal Chrono Triggger port on DS (no sequel).

Those pictures are way overblown and it makes them look worse than it is. This doesn't look like a first gen PS2 game. :lol

Aside from the ginormous resolution and ugly HUD sprites, that looks fine for a Wii game. Pretty blatant trolling in the OP.

Super high definition pictures of a Wii game, great idea.

Also, what the fuck at the character designs. OoE rolled back the anime designs and this game apparently inherited them. Konami would be better off polling the internet for game ideas if this is the shit they come up with on their own.

Yeah, resizing would be good, then we can actually SEE the direct feed screens. I would think most people aren't on a resolution high enough to see any of the pics entirely on their monitor. :p

WTF are those screens? Is it meant to be played on a TV from the future? :lol

Anyway, I don't remember: is it supposed to be a Wiiware game, or just a retail game?

Yeh, pretty much.

I can't even appreciate these screens because I can't even see the whole image at once.

Resize stuff like this and host it yourself before posting.

Seriously.

Retail, safe to say. Really nothing about it doesn't look or sound like a proper disc release.

Not really. Soul Caliber 2 looked a lot better on all of the last gen systems.

Sure, the models don't appear to be the best we've ever seen on this level of hardware, but they still definitely look good.

Luckily I have a dual display so I only have to scroll up and down to see the whole image. Good Lord.

Looks about on par with what I expected it to be.

I resized them:
Note: These are just resized with photoshop, so I don't think that this his how the game will look on the Wii.

Here's one resized to 640x480 (Don't have time to do the rest.)

edit: beat.

Not the greatest, but the "First gen PS2" tripe being spewed is hyperbole at very least.

i'm still in awe at what a blatantly horrible idea this game is. or maybe it's a great idea: if it's true what people tell me that castlevania isn't nearly so popular as i once thought it was, and only plays to its fanbase, then here's a cheap way to cash in on those fanatics without having to put in the money to make assets for a full adventure-style game. good call, konami.

Those big screens are the dumbest thing I've seen in a VERY long time, especially snce it looks quite nice when in proper resolution.

It seems like it could turn out to be an alright game based on the Nintendo Power reveal. I'll wait until I see video next week before I dismiss it all together.

trolling? I'm just saying they should have made a proper Castlevania game on a next gen system. 2d/3d doesnt matter. How many people would have been excited by a 360/PS3 Castlevania game? I play Castlevania for the exploration and cool items and rpg elements and music, not so I can watch bouncing boobs like in Dead or Alive or do 544 hit floating combos.
Instead Konami are doing this because more people own a Wii, not giving a crap about listening to their fans by making it a fighter instead too.

The game looks sharp at native res, but the designs are really horrid. There are some stuff that look pretty nice, like the 2D pumpkins, but seriously the game looks awful from both a design appeal standpoint and a gameplay appeal standpoint. Does anyone really want a Castlevania fighter?

I don't give a damn about the system it's on, but I'd love a new console 2D Castlevania.
