We already know that the very concept behind Castlevania Judgement is abhorrent and nobody likes it. At this point though, we may as well shrug and accept that this is coming. If you still can’t get excited about party times, maybe it’ll cheer you up to hear that Koji Igarashi has revealed some of Castlevania Judgement’s Wii/DS connectivity secrets.

Here we have some delicious media for Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Which, as it so happens, is out quite soon. October of 2008. Where the hell have I been? God, you’d think I was working or engaging in some other manner of time-wasting fuckery.

Now that you’ve seen Shanoa execute impressive attacks whilst clad in high heels, you may hit the jump and watch more succubus showcasing.

Konami became so overwhelmed with new media for Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia that it decided…

It’s gonna need a montage. o/~

Even Rocky had a montage. o/~

It’s a treat to watch Order of Ecclesia in motion. Every time I think the DS has been pushed to its graphical limit, someone surprises me. See, these are the kinds of surprises my life needs more of. Taking a big swig of milk and then discovering that it’s turned isn’t a cool surprise, but it’s the kind of thing that keeps happening to me.

This bit of video footage shows off some of the bosses in Order of Ecclesia as well as some of the characters. Shanoa can expect to make friends and/or enemies with wise old men, red-eyed vampires and Win Butler from The Arcade Fire.

…Or at least the famous bloodline of vampire hunters will live as long as their caretaker, Koji Igarashi.
According to a recent discussion the developer had with MTV Multiplayer, Castelvania games like the recently-announced Order of Ecclesia will keep on coming.

““I definitely have a passion for the franchise. I mean, I’m definitely excited to do each iteration of the game — and also my team. A lot of people came to Konami because they’re huge fans of Castlevania. That’s another inspiration to keep on going, and it is a passion, definitely.”

This is good or bad news depending on whether or not you’re starting to tire of the DS’ ever-expanding stable of Castlevania games. On the other hand, I don’t want 2D gaming to die, and if you have to put up with the likes of Charlotte and Johnathan from Portrait of Ruin for me…Well, I’m sorry for your troubles, but I’m riding this horse ’til it falls to pieces under me.
