Castlevania Judgment supports the GameCube and Classic controllers

“…And if you’re not convinced that swinging a Wii remote is the best way to beat the Count, worry not; you can also play using the GameCube or Classic Controller.” – Nintendo Power
Well, that’s good news, but even so, it probably won’t save the game. Impressions of the game haven’t been too positive as of late.
Although Nintendo does not offer demos of WiiWare titles, 2D Boy has been kind enough as to provide a demo of the PC version of World of Goo. The demo should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect considering the PC and WiiWare versions are more than similar. 2D Boy states that the demo has the entire first level of the game – definitely a generous sampling!

Nintendo Power has released even more information on LIT and the mysterious Cursed Mountain title.
LIT
-Developer of Contra 4 and Shantae (Way Forward)
-’Built around the concept that light is life and darkness is death.’
-Play as ‘Jake,’ a high school student whose school is overrun by shadowy creatures that are too dark to see, but can be sensed crawling and scratching everywhere!
-Jake and his girlfriend, the only survivors, are in contact only by cell phone.
-Thirty levels and five ‘puzzle oriented’ bosses (all former school staff, now horrible monsters)
-Use control stick for movement
-Carve paths via light sources to escape
-Wii remote is flashlight
-Switch from top down view to 3d behind back perspective.
-Turn on lamps, break windows and more to light the way and survive.
-Use tools such as flares, TV remotes, slingshot, computer monitors and more to escape!
Cursed Mountain
-Use Tibetan Prayer movements to exorcise demons.
-Enter the ‘Bardo’ or Tibetan Spiritual Realm to see otherwise invisible ghosts.
-Combat mechanics are why developer Deep Silver chose Wii.
-Wanted a survival horror that wouldn’t let you clutch the controller close, saying that the open armed movements make you feel ‘very vulnerable,’ which adds to the experience.
-The mountain itself offers exciting challenges, including a balance act that requires you to tilt the remote for balance as you cross a narrow passage.
