...and yes.  It's a fighting game.

Konami has finally revealed and confirmed earlier reports that the upcoming Castlevania game for the Wii will in fact be a fighting game using characters from the series.

The game will of course come with motion based controls which will allow you to control your characters.  The game will also feature interactive stages and using the various monsters to attack your opponent.  The game will also utilize the Nintendo wifi connection for multiplayer matches

The coolest thing that game will do is wirelessly connect to the upcoming Castlevania DS game, Order of Ecclesia, to unlock gameplay content.

You know, I'm glad that the Wii is getting more software but I'm not sure I want basic gameplay with motion controls tacked on.  I guess this is something that we will have to get used to.  Do you think that it's because of the lack of horsepower under the hood or have developers just given up on competing with Nintendo's first party line up.

Something to think about.
