This is a pretty weird rumor, but perhaps the same could be said of all rumors. Apparently, Konami USA's Shinji Hirano made a reference to new Castlevania (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/Castlevania/) games on the Wii and DS during a press conference Tuesday in Sao Paulo. The weird part is that the event in question, according to Arena Turbo (http://arenaturbo.ig.com.br/materias/485501-486000/485716/485716_1.html), was a launch for Grand Theft Auto IV and Iron Man. Is GTA IV even out in Brazil? Xbox.com says it isn't (http://www.xbox.com/pt-BR/games/g/grandtheftautoiv/). And why would a Konami executive even be there making statements? So sketchy. Of course we can't find any reference to this event anywhere but this post and this GameTV post (http://www.gametv.com.br/story.show.chain?story.id=9761).
But we've heard Wii 'Vania rumors before (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/28/rumor-castlevania-headed-wii-ward/), and this extremely dubious one doesn't make the game any less likely. Maybe it'll get sorted out next week, as Hirano reportedly said.
