First Details of Castlevania Brawler
Yes, Konami is really bringing Castlevania to the Wii: as a 3-D fighting game.
The company isn't releasing any screenshots (outside of Nintendo Power magazine) until E3, but today they let us know some details of how the game will play. The Wiimote will be used to slash, stab, and whip opponents into submission, all done inside 3-D environments based on the franchise's long history. You'll be able to grab on to objects found in the levels and use them as weapons as well.
Character designs are courtesy of manga artist Takeshi Obata (Hikaru no Go, Death Note).
The game will also include online battles. And if you have a copy of the upcoming Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the Nintendo DS, you'll be able to sync it up to the Wii version to unlock bonus portable content.

Brawler? Don't you mean... fighter? Brawlers are like Final Fight or Streets of Rage... right?
Yeah, which is it? Brawler or Fighter?
Anyone else upset with online battling capabilities. Nothings worse than getting the tar beat out of you by someone who cheated by modding the game. And yes I am refering to you Halo 3.
um brawler? so basically they gave it the same name as smash bros brawl< but with an er? a little to much chlorine
in that gene pool
=FAIL
Pedantic much?
Fighting games -- ie: Street Fighter -- can be called brawlers or fighters. Streets of Rage, Final Fight and so on are known as "beat-em-ups."
POWERSTONE!!! I'm with you G-man, I used to play so much of that game on the Dreamcast... IMHO it was the best fighting game ever, especially for the time. The 3-D rooms and tons of items to interact with, along with the powerstones, made it good for endless hours of getting wasted and sitting in the living room. If this lives up to that game, I'll buy it the day it comes out!
We have had rumble since launch

I, for one, am *tentatively* excited for this as it sounds it could fill the gap left by Capcom's 'PowerStone' series.
