Pass your Castlevaniastic Judgment on these new screens

The judgment of a Fanboy is brutal, terrifying and often accompanied by various LOLs and ZOMGs. In fact, the revelation that Castlevania: Judgment for the Wii was to be a fighting game resulted in the biggest ZOMG of them all. Hey, Konami may be tampering with a classic formula, and pitting classic characters against each other for no excuse but to witness a violent showdown -- but what the heck is wrong with that?

Bring down your gavel of screenshot-hating justice after viewing the latest images in the gallery. An empty excuse for a cash cow Wii title or not -- it looks very pretty.

I'd give anything for a Castlevania game on Wii, any Castlevania game except this one.

Well, the game looked dumb at first, but actually seeing footage of the gameplay from E3, I think it's safe to say that it will be good.
