Iga on Castlevania Wii
Castlevania creator Koji ‘Iga’ Igarashi was recently quizzed on the possibility of a Castlevania game for Nintendo’s next-gen console, the Wii.
Speaking with 1up.com, Iga stated that he’s used to all the fuss about the series coming to Wii, saying “80 percent of the press ask me that question.”
“Everyone can think about Castlevania on the Wii, and I of course have thought about it as well. But here’s the thing. Users can swing the controller around for 5 minutes or so and have some fun”, he revealed, “but I would rather people be deeply immersed in a Castlevania game and play for at least an hour at a time. So I wouldn’t want to have people using the controller to swing the whip — I would only want to use the swinging for special occasions in the game.”
Right, so that’s a big no-no to including the Wii-mote as standard control functionality, then.
