M2 worked on this collection, so M2 botched it :V

M2 aren't miracle workers. If this thing sucks its probably got more to do with time and budget than care and effort by M2.
They didn't internally develop Silent Hill HD either but everyone rightfully blames them.
Yeah and even calling it a botch to begin with seems overly harsh. It sucks but bugs are going to happen from time to time especially with these low budget quick turn around projects. Even with this being a Konami game I would be surprised if Konami doesn't green light at least one post release patch for this collection so hopefully this will get fixed quickly.
You can remap controller buttons in the Xbox settings.
I know it's annoying but it's a workaround.
Fair enough. I am not too knowledgable about the porting process of such old games or rather the software/emulator used by M2 to run them.

What???? Who played Castlevania like that and went "yeah this is good"
Edit: What does the Switch version do? I heard some people mention dogbone style so I assumed A was jump and B was whip which, while not perfect, would still be ok to me. Jump being on the RIGHTMOST BUTTON is evil.
it is annoying that's why I haven't bothered yet. I'm getting used to it... lol
the beeping is making me a little nuts tho. didn't start until level 2 on CV1. not sure how prevelant it it is in all games and levels yet.
Looking forward to it.
Hopefully they're able to correct some of the issues we're reading about.
you can use A for whip and B for jump too, but it's still backwards and feels worse for me.
I'm adjusting for now. remapping on a console level is a thing, but it annoys me too so I'll have to settle for one or another.
hoping for a swift patch.
You mean jump with Y and whip with B? Or else I don't think many would complain about the controls lol
wtf almost 40 USD in Xbox Mexican store, have no hope on Switch pricing now, hope is better on steam once is there
Yes, it's already up in some regions. Just have to wait for the usual eShop update time for where you live.
Like I said earlier, I think M2 was rushed to get this port out.
I suspect that originally they weren't going to handle the collection. They might have even been brought in at the last minute.
I mean, if M2 was handling this collection since day 1, Konami and everyone else would be shouting it from the roof-tops. We didn't even find about M2's involvement until...a week before release?
-A small team that's already juggling a ton of projects.
-They're charged with putting a collection of eight games on every major platform.
-Said games were originally on the NES, Famicom, Game Boy, SNES, and Genesis/MD.
Yeah I can see where problems would arise.
It's really unfortunate.
Still, there's nothing here that an update or three couldn't fix.
- Button re-mapping
- Fix the sound issues
- Fix some of the menus
- Add more save-slots
Then again, there might be other issues. (Like what's happening a few posts above mine)

PS4. I had changed the filter to color on startup, and after exiting the menu, the game screen didn't change, I was stuck on the konami logo, and couldn't get back to the collection menu either. Had to close the application.
What issues have been found in the Switch version so far? Just the weird ass beeping noises in CV1?
Seriously. Especially because they ALWAYS seem to somehow fuck it up.
Well, these issues on the various consoles are disappointing to hear. I was really looking forward to buying this collection on my Switch tomorrow but now I'm kinda leery.
I'm still bitter over the lack of decent button mapping options in MvC2 360/PS3 and Street Fighter 30th Collection. It's madness when the Dreamcast and PS1 button configs are far more robust. It's like they forget people use different controllers now and have different preferences/limitations.
Did u play nes darkwing duck before by any chance? Has a similar megaman like vibe to it.
Oh man, The Adventure...I know everyone said it's terrible, but...I wasn't prepared. Losing whip levels on damage...flea enemies that can take more than one hit...precise platforming in the first level...birds that rival Ninja Gaiden's...
(Still glad it's here though, for preservation purposes)
Can confirm those beeps are on CV1 on the PS4, as well.

Yeah, Darkwing was one of my go to games as a kid. Played a bunch of that when the Disney Afternoon collection dropped.
But Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection has button mapping though?
No macros for super moves. Only 1:1 mapping. Biggest reason I dropped it, personally.
I used to not make it past the first Medusa in cadtlevania and now we're on a no-death run, it feels good
No crashes so far, and no crackling audio (on PS4). However, the beeps in CV1 are definitely there, and the lack of button config sucks. X to attack and Square to jump is bizarre, lol. Also, why is there no option to play in proper 4:3 without scanlines? I can either play the default way with essentially a square in the center of my tv, or play in 4:3 with scanlines, which makes everything look muddy and awful.
You can only remap the six main buttons, there are no options whatsoever for 3P/3K, LP+LK, etc. All the sorts of options that have existed for pad players since the PS1 versions. It sucked for SFA3 and 3rd Strike.
Anyway, getting a bit off-topic, but it drives me crazy when these emulated collections don't have such standard features.
Haha no.
I've been playing these games the same way for over 30 years. There's no way I'd ever be able to adjust to a different button scheme.
...Fuck. I'm so old.
I waited on the last collection and will wait on this one too, even though I was looking forward to this one a lot more. Sucks, but hopefully an update or two will smooth things out. (As an aside, glad Shovel Knight Treasure Trove on Switch went on sale... that will keep me distracted for a while!)
Same here. Nintendo-wise, it better be Y attack / B jump. Crafted World defaulting to B attack / A jump was one of those WTF moments. Yeah, you can change it, but why is that the default?
