255w ago - According to GoNintendo (linked above): I know you guys wouldn't believe this unless I had proof. Reader Blissteria was nice enough to take some pictures from the latest issue of Nintendo Power. I am only going to post one, due to 'fair use'.

Also, I just wanted to make sure that you guys believed the news!

Characters confirmed thus far - Dracula, Simon, Alucard, Shanoa, and Maria Renard. Classic subweapons - holy water, magic spells, dagger, boomerang. Subweapon use still depends on hearts, and it offers remixed classic Castlevania tunes.

Finally, Set traps, destroyable environments, enemy monsters interfere with battle. Nunchuck controls character movement, Wiimote used for motion attacks.

Not exactly what we were thinking, is it?!

255w ago - According to Pureauthor of NeoGAF, the latest issue of Nintendo Power has a full page article on the once-rumored Mega Man 9. While only the tiny scans are currently available, the article reportedly mentions that the game is in development by Inticreates of Mega Man ZX fame, and will be released digitally on WiiWare.

Will MM9 be making its way to other download outlets, such as PSN and XBLA? It's likely. Of course you can't expect Nintendo Power to mention that, though. Either way, expect an official announcement soon, on or before E3.
