Konami announced that a new Castlevania title is in development for the Wii, and the game will be a 3-D fighter.

Castlevania Judgement will incorporate both the wii-mote and nunchuk into its control scheme, allowing no doubt for a wide variety of whip-cracking, sword-slashing, and spear-thrusting combat. Other early combat system details include the ability to pick up items and set traps on the battlefields, as well as the possibility of calling monsters to your aid, which may hint at a monster or soul collection system seen in some of the recent handheld entries.

Confirmed characters include Simon and Alucard, Maria Renard, Shanoa from the upcoming Order of Ecclesia, and Dracula himself. Other characters are said to span the entirety of Castlevania's 20+ year history. Expect many a Belmont from Castlevania lore to make an appearance, as well as many of the vile demons that have accosted them throughout their journeys, such as Death.
