The first batch is from the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for PlayStation Portable.

And these are from the upcoming 3-D Castlevania known as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow which is coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

[[Show as slideshow]]

Peace Walker looks like a Metal Gear game while Lords of Shadow looks nothing like the Castlevania games we’re accustomed to seeing. Both titles are slated for 2010 release.

If you noticed, there are a lot of fighting game related tidbits below and that’s somewhat on purpose. There was just a lot of talk, info and media of the upcoming fighting games.

As always, more stuff will be tacked on as I find them.

PlayStation 3

  • White Knight Chronicles Online mode breakdown
    • Offline mode will consist of custom characters which you can create and recruit during the single player campaign.
    • That custom character’s experience, skills, items and money will be shared between the two modes.
    • Single player progress will determine what’s available to you in the online multiplayer.
    • Online mode described to be very Phantasy Star Online-esque.
    • Up to 16 players in a lobby, but only 4 players can enter a quest at the same time.
    • Lots of quests promised via DLC.
    • Support for keyboard, but voice chat not 100% confirmed
    • White Knight Chronicles costumes for LBP very possible.

Multiplatform

  • New Castlevania Teaser

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

  • Tatsunoko vs Capcom info via Giant Bombcast Day 1 Episode
    • It doesn’t have the standard six button layout. Not even the standard four button layout from Marvel vs Capcom 2.
    • It has light, medium and hard attack buttons followed by an assist button.
    • Apparently, it’s being developed on “Wii” calibur hardware which is why its launching simultaneously for both the Nintendo Wii and arcades.
    • Japan only for now.
  • BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Gameplay

  • Street Fighter IV – More Sakura Gameplay

Finally some screenshots from the fighting game you haven’t been waiting for, Castlevania Judgement for the Nintendo Wii. Looks decent. I wonder what kind of game it’ll be like. Soul Calibur-esque? If you got the answer, please let me know.

In the meantime, check the screens and a character art.

Judgment Day cometh

Konami brings its legendary Castlevania® series to Nintendo Wii in all-new action guise
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH is to bring its world-famous Castlevania series to Nintendo Wii in the form of Castlevania Judgment, an all-new action title featuring a wealth of characters from the series’ 22-year history.

Created by series creator Koji ‘IGA’ Igarashi, Castlevania Judgment is a roving fighting game utilising heroes and villains from the Castlevania universe. The fighting game has been designed specifically for the Wii, and uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to offer a stunning level of control over the central heroes. Taking centre stage within a series of 3D locations inspired by previous Castlevania games, the controllers are used to slash, stab and employ a series of attacks against the assorted minions of Dracula.

Each of the beautifully-realised stages are fully interactive, and as the player battles their way through, various elements can be picked up, thrown, or used against the forces of evil – players can even make use of monsters on the field, while traps can also be set by specific characters. Castlevania Judgment also makes use of the Wii’s Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing players to fight with online friends in one-on-one settings, while the game also enjoys connectivity with Igarashi’s forthcoming Nintendo DS title Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, allowing users to unlock a very surprising bonus.

Featuring visuals from acclaimed artist Takeshi Obata, Castlevania Judgment sees the series’ famed Belmont clan enter fresh territory as their fighting skills are extended for this all-new challenge. With a huge cast of well-known monsters and undead adversaries, Castlevania Judgment marks a new chapter in the story of one of gaming’s most enduring series.

Castlevania Judgment will be released for Nintendo Wii in Europe early 2009.

Since then, new traditional 2D side scrolling Castlevanias have been making regular appearances on the Nintendo DS.

Well Konami believes it’s about time to pit their vampire slaying franchise against the 3D world once again. It also believes it should be a fighting game and exclusive to the Wii. Excitement officially over.

Read the press release if you’re so inclined.

KONAMI ANNOUNCES CASTLEVANIA JUDGMENT FOR WiiTM

Release Marks Iconic Franchise’s Next Generation Debut on WiiTM and its Entry Into the Fighting Game Genre

El Segundo, Calif. – July 1, 2008 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that Castlevania Judgment, the first Castlevania title in the fighting game genre, is currently in development exclusively for Wii™. Developed by legendary Castlevania series producer Koji “Iga” Igarashi, Castlevania Judgment bridges the past with the present as it pits several generations of the Belmont clan against a host of characters that span the franchise’s 22-year history.

“We wanted to take this addition to the signature Konami franchise in a direction that really sets it apart from the previous Castlevania titles in the series,” said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “The Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk capabilities, along with the iconic characters, make this game the ideal entry point into the fighting game genre. This combination is certain to thrill old and new fans of the franchise. ”

With 3D environments rendered on Wii, players can choose sides in an epic battle of good versus evil using iconic Castlevania characters designed by famed manga artist Takeshi Obata. Using the motion-sensing controls of the Nunchuk and Wii Remote™, players can slash, stab and whip their way across a variety of stages and environmental elements with various surrounding objects as weapons. Select characters can also set traps and make use of monsters on the field to achieve victory in a clash of epic proportions. As an added bonus, players are also able to compete head-to-head using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection™ and connect with Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on the Nintendo DS™ to unlock bonus gameplay content.
