CastleVania Collection is kind of cool except I already own a lot of those games. Really hoped for a new game tbh
I'll still buy it to support but I really hope for something new.

A certain Era mod just teased on the Spawncast that the Castlvania collection is real and it's coming to Switch.

it's gonna be hilarious/soul-crushing when this collection only includes, like, the first four games or something

Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Castlevania 64
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (which hardlocks the Switch brightness to 5%)

$59.99, digital only

Lol. Nah. Wasn't the rumor that Castlevania Collection will be multiplat? It has to have SoTN in it. I played it a little on the PS3 and loved what I was playing. The music was some of the best I ever heard.

We don't have Symphony of the Night on a Nintendo system. That's a big deal.

I was just thinking about this last week even before all the hysteria about the Direct. It's certainly one of the most significant titles from that generation to remain unavailable on current systems, and given the kind of audience Nintendo has cultivated on the Switch, a potential port that would stand to be a bigger success than anything else from the PS1 library. Yes, bigger than Crash and Spyro. Bigger than (the unlikely/hypothetical) MGS and FF7. As far as I've gathered, there is a huge chunk of the Nintendo-only audience that has always regarded SotN as the one that got away.

SpawnWave was speculating in the SpawnCast that the direct was delayed because of Civ. But Civ6 has no natural disasters , unless its some switch exclusive feature they are doing.

If there is such a feature, i feel it would have been a bullet point in the leaked 2K PR. But the PR seems to indicate it's a port of the PC game with some of the DLC civs and scenarios included.

Did we ever find out which team worked on LABO? Wasn't there speculation retro was behind the software?

Did I miss when Spawnwave became a reputable insider? Isn't he part of the Marcus and SMD64 crew? Not sure if that was early on with the NX stuff

Well he was discussing it in a podcast with Nate. But on the point I raised, he was just guessing Civ was the reason for the delay. I was pointing out he is most likely wrong about the reason.
If the original rumours the direct was delayed due to insensitive content is true, then it's not because of the Civ6 trailer, unless there's footage of something else related to Civ that may be deemed somewhat insensitive, like a Japanese city getting nuked, which is possible with trailers.

am I mistaking it for a Switch exclusive castlevania game or that port of the wiiware castlevania ?

Stealth was the one that mentioned ports of the Rebirth titles which include Castlevania Rebirth. But stealth is full of crap.

Das Vergeben was the one that said Simon was coming to Smash, and also a Castlevania Collection with SotN has the main attraction.

Civ games have natural disasters but I don't think Civ 6 actually has earthquakes

Which games do you think would be in a Castlevania collection? Wondering how generous Konami would be.
