Castlevania Judgment
Also know as: Akumajō Dracula Judgment | 悪魔城ドラキュラ ジャッジメント
Castlevania Judgment (悪魔城ドラキュラ ジャッジメント Akumajō Dracula Judgment) is the first Castlevania game on the Nintendo Wii, and is also the first in the series to be a one-on-one versus 3D fighting game. It was released in November 2008 in the United States, January 2009 in Japan, and March 2009 in Europe. Story According to IGA: "So as many of you know, the Castlevania timeline goes over 1000 years", "And there is a character trying to destroy that timeline. Due to magic forces, a variety of characters from different eras are brought together." Galamoth plots to send the Time Reaper from 10,000 years in the future into the past to destroy his rival Dracula, and change history. Aeon discovers this and pulls together champions from different eras of history into a time rift, in order to find a chosen one capable of destroying the Time Reaper. In this world, a battle has been raging between vampire hunters and their prey for ages. Thirteen people from around the world have been called into an alternate dimension through a gap in time. A mysterious man named Aeon appears before the thirteen and tells them "if you pass the trial, you can have your wish..." The trial is a battle between those assembled. But what will they gain if they pass the trial? And how do they escape from the time gap? An epic, era-spanning battle of destiny is about to begin! Like most traditional fighting games, there is a story surrounding each character. Gameplay Castlevania Judgment is a 3D fighting game, complete with sub-weapons, Hearts and generation bending characters. Players move the Wiimote to perform combos. They may also hold down the B, Z or C buttons to use different combos. To make sure players can't win by simply "chopping" the Wiimotes and nunchuck, players are able to dodge with the nunchuck as well as block with the Z button. Players can perform powerful but slow "unblockables" to break guards as well as chain these into combos along with the B and Z button combos. Characters can use hearts to power up sub-weapons as well as use a magic bar on the bottom of the bar to fuel special abilities (e.g. Cornell's rage mode or Golem's roll) as well as super attacks.
