Castlevania Judgment Announced for Wii is a Fighting Game

Konami announced today that Castlevania Judgment, the first Castlevania title in the fighting game genre, is currently in development exclusively for the Wii.
Developed by 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.
With 3D environments rendered on Wii, players can choose sides between good and evil using iconic Castlevania characters designed by 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.
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.
Castlevania Judgment will be released in North America sometime this Fall 2008. The press release did not contain any screens, and the only one I could find came from Kotaku and it is a bit blurry. Check back often because I am sure Konami will remedy the situation soon.
