Castlevania is my favorite game series. I can’t wait to play through this.
No, they are emulated.Holy moly! Are these remakes?
No, they are emulated.
Thanks for quoting me, otherwise i wouldnt even know there was an update. Im a requiem player too, so Im not bothered by rondo & sotn’s omission. Saying that, im upset that the PSP version of the SOTN has replaced the psx version.They didnt include Rondo and Symphony. As a Castlevania Requiem User, its a relief i think. I miss Portrait of Ruin, or Aria of Sorrow. Even Dracula X. Good Collection tho....im getting it
I dont understand, are you suggesting an mgs4 remaster is better than a Castlevania & Contra collection?Konami had choices and dubbed these games are better than MGS4 remaster. We don't need Castlevania remasters, Konami is the best at dancing around the elephant in the room.

can't wait to play Kid Dracula i've heard good things.
i have played through Dracula X. that game just flat out sucks. glad it's not here.
I have the Arcade Collection on Switch, and have tested all the games at least a bit. Sadly, the quality is not great. The games and their emulation is taken directly from Hamsters Arcade Archives series, which is quite bare bones. There are save states, and you can add some scanlines and whatnot, but for the most part, that's all you'll get. The emulation itself is not perfect either, as some games have problems with controls. There's no balance in the choice of games either, as there are 8 games, and 7 of them are Shmups (and three out of those seven are Gradius clones). Only Haunted Castle gives some change, and even that is one of the worst Castlevania games, so there.
Hopefully Castlevania and Contra collections are done by someone else than Hamster, as most of the Arcade Collection's problems seem to boil down to that.
Atleast Kid Dracula would have to be, they have to translate it for the collection as it was never released outside Japan.Now don't get your hopes up, but so far Konami has been using screenshots of the collections respective version on their site. However, with Castlevania Collection, the screenshots on the site are definitely from the Japanese version of the game. This could mean they are actually presenting us with the Japanese version of the game in it's original form, just transtaled. This is just speculation though, but those screenshots really imply that.
I don't think anyone who specifically likes CV would get anything out of the game as far a CV type experience goes, even on a parody level. It's mostly a Megaman knockoff. It's fine, charming overall. But I wouldn't say it's anything people should go out of their way for either.Kid Dracula is definitely worth getting this collection for. I imported the GameBoy version a couple years ago and I really like it. He can fly around the screen and it provides a lot of simple enjoyment. Especially if you're a big fan of Castlevania. I wish they'd get the pre-orders online.

We're in agreement on that.
Its a charming game.

Or, and I'm hoping this is the case for maximum hilarity, the non-Japanese version of the collection has the GB Kid Dracula instead of the NES one. Would fit with the general trend of horrible lazyness.
all the castlevanias i don't like great XD
man i am craving for the 3 gba games sotn and the 2 ds games
Lastly, important news: we heard your calls and Konami will add Japanese title variants as a free update shortly after launch. Keep your eyes peeled for more details!
And now you can have them on your Switch, PS4, Xbox One & Steam. Good times!I've already got most of those games emulated on my Raspberry Pi and Gameboy Zero.

I was able to test the Castlevania collection for a while. I'm glad to say that the emulation quality is much better than in Arcade Collection. The games run well, and there is plenty of options for image quality, and you can also save a replay. There's no option for rewind, though and I couldn't find a way to rempad controls.
The games are US versions of the games, though Konami promised to update the collection with Japan versions down the line. Here's hoping this collection sells well, so we can get more Castlevania in the future.
FUCK KONAMI
we will never forget
What's the reasoning behind this? You don't want to line the pockets of companies you don't like but you'll do it for games Kojima's involved with? 0oThis. The only games I'll buy from them are any Kojima remasters. Other than that Konami is trash.
