Wait ...... Super Castlevania IV in this Collection? Contra 3 also?......oh im so in.
"digital only"
Hey Konami, you know we can just like, download ROMs whenever we want, right?
They've clearly stated they're the first of each, save for the Contra one.
Expecting other games like Rush 'n' Attack, Jackal, and M. I. A. in the next Arcade.
Why not? Because the footage I look at and the reviews I remember reading state it is bad.If you haven't played it then you shouldn't be dissing it like it's a terrible game.
Jackal was amazing. It still holds up very well, like Metal Storm, and its not too hard.Expecting other games like Rush 'n' Attack, Jackal, and M. I. A. in the next Arcade.
Why the hell are they putting the GameBoy Castlevania 2 in the collection instead of the NES version? Also, limiting each collection to only 8 games is dumb. There's plenty more games they could have put in the arcade collection.
Because they would have to fix the bad translation...
"The first Konami Castlevania collection is designed to be a completed collection around the origins of the historic franchise".
This implies to me that there are going to be two Castlevania collections, the first one focusing on Classicvania and the second on Metroidvania.
If that's the case then I would guess the remaining games in the first collection will be Rondo of Blood, Bloodlines, Castlevania Rebirth and Dracula X.
I would then expect the second collection to include Symphony of the Night as well as the GBA trilogy and the DS trilogy. Assuming they're both 8 game collections that leaves one vacant slot, which I would expect to be filled by Simon's Quest. That would make sense because Simon's Quest is more of an early proto-Metroidvania than a straight up Classicvania despite the era in which it was released.
No, to me implies that the first collection is all about 2d and the second collection the 3d games, or..... (worst to me) the Lords of Shadow saga.
For Castlevania, the remaining four need to be from this pool: Chronicles, Rondo, Bloodlines, Dracula X, SOTN.
Contra is easier. That remaining four should be Contra 4, Shattered Soldier, Neo, and HARD CORPS.
Because after those 5 we have the 3d era and the DSvanias, and if this is the first volume, it makes sense to bookend it with X or SOTN. Chronicles includes the original.Agree with you, Contra is easy, but Castlevania, i mean, why another collection with Rondo and Simphony? Dracula X, a re-do of Rondo will make an appereance? Chronicles or just the original?
Dont get me wrong, it makes sense, I will buy the collection even if those 2 (rondo and Simphony) arent in it , but, as a user of Castlevania Requiem, a new collection with those 2 i fell i dont know.......bad, maybe the collection for the "Requiem Users" should be cheaper.Because after those 5 we have the 3d era and the DSvanias, and if this is the first volume, it makes sense to bookend it with X or SOTN.

This is not an attack, I cant believe you spelled Symphony wrong but got requiem right.
I own and play Requiem as well, so I understand. Would you feel better if it was the PSX version of SOTN and not the PSP version?Dont get me wrong, it makes sense, I will buy the collection even if those 2 (rondo and Simphony) arent in it , but, as a user of Castlevania Requiem, a new collection with those 2 i fell i dont know.......bad, maybe the collection for the "Requiem Users" should be cheaper.

On a side note, I’m glad that the Contra arcade games are included within its collection.
Yeah, the Saturn version is the worst. The PSP version, which is the Requiem version, has all new voice acting, narrated intro, level title cards, missing graphic when Alucard first meets Shaft, added familiars, Maria’s sprite gets worked on.I dont know very well the differences between both versions, i think there is a third, the Saturn version with some changes, some people said that this is the worst version.
Holding out for a physical release. And yeah, there's not a ton of content there, considering Konami's catalog.Yeah, they could've blown the SNK 40th collection completely out of the water.
Wonder if there will eventually be a physical compilation.

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 itI own and play Requiem as well, so I understand. Would you feel better if it was the PSX version of SOTN and not the PSP version?
