Was hoping for a Castlevania Collection to be announced at the recent Nintendo Direct. If they release a collection would the games be rated individually like this? Honestly I'll pick it up on any console it releases on so that's not really an issue for me, though portable would be nice.

I want this so bad. It's crazy it took this long for a modern version of Rondo, let alone a SotN port.

"Is Symphony of the Night even better than Hollow Knight?"

What a day for retro news. All on top of the Capcon beat 'em up bundle last week too.

Move on from the portbegging discussion and "that one post". I'll hand out warnings after this post.

Seriously with Simon and richter being in smash and the long rumored castlevania collection on switch it's only natural people expect it there. No need to be patronizing.
I agree the posts only saying "switch pliz" can be annoying though.
I personnally expect it to appear on switch, the ps exclusivity would be weird and make no sense financially. Outside a Sony moneyhat that would be even weirder.

i was hoping it was going to be more than these two games. i love them but i've played the hell out of them on PSP.

yeah with them being in smash it's just weird to assume this is ps4 exclusive just because it's only rated for ps4 in korea. maybe the switch version isn't supposed to launch there or it's coming later.

Nice of you to ignore me listing out the PS4 port-begging. It seems less that you have a problem with port-begging, and more that you have a problem with Switch port-begging. Do you know what's even more irritating? When people like you target a specific platform/fanbase for a general problem.
It happens for all platforms but the switch port begging out numbers xbox and ps many times over. I wouldn't say it's a general problem at all.

it's only a problem when a game been properly announced and/or released and people shit up discussion threads with port begging. this is just a game being leaked through ratings board, and a game that has been long rumored to come to switch, with its two main characters recently being announced for smash. saying people talking about a switch version here are "port begging" is just disingenuous.

Grab it off psn and use a save file from gamefaqs to unlock the other 2 games.
the 3D remake isn't that bad tbh, it gets a lot of undeserved hate.

Hopefully those are good versions of the games.
Would be weird if it's PS4 only, but as others said, might be sold in different collections or just one by one.

edit: how is it portbegging, when we're talking about rating boards and not official announcements anyway.

How is the Saturn version of SotN though? I heard it's not better than the PS1 version.

This take way too much time to be announced for something this obvious.
Anyway I never played SotN so I'm all in.

C'mon Konami, bring back Bloodlines while you're at it! Its a crime that the only way to legally play that game is via a Genesis cart!

Hope this is coming soon, like October this year. I recall the rumours of a Castlevania collection, was expecting something similar to Capcom's MegaMan collections; 1-4 + Rondo of Blood, then a Symphony of the Night, GBA/ DS collection (though that would be insane value compared to the first). I suppose this makes sense though. Both very popular games, arguably the best of their respective styles and both are linked directly in story.

This is cool, but I already have these two. What I personally want is a collection that includes Castlevania Chronicles, Bloodlines, Legacy of Darkness and the Game Boy games.

What other retro news has there been?

Also I hope both these games have a platinum trophy each

- FF VII-XII (minus VIII) coming to Switch and Xbox One
- Katamari Damacy 1 coming to Switch and PC
- The Last Remnant coming to PS4
- FF: Crystal Chronicles coming to PS4 and Switch
- Chocobo Dungeon coming to PS4 and Switch
- Resonance of Fate coming to PS4 and PC
- PlayStation Classic announced
- Potential Castlevania Collection announcement

Looking forward to this; I never got around to playing SotN (started it a bunch). I do hope that it's the WHAT IS A MAN-version though! Never touched Rondo, but I hear that ones good too.

This is getting ridiculous. We're coming to a point where there are TOO MANY games. Even January has a lot of games. This is another to add. I feel like at some time games sales are going to be impacted negatively due to there being so many games to choose from.

The only thing I don't like about gaming is that it's almost too good.

Contra and Gradius titles were also rumored to be in the works way back in January.
(Just google this stuff if you're interested, I don't want to turn this thread into something else.)

What!
Aside from the classic NES vanias, Castlevania IV and Bloodlines are sublime!
Then there are the DS games as well.
If they could be bothered they could make an amazing ultimate collection!

I mean, you're not wrong, but CV games are a bit, er, liberal in reusing enemies and setpieces and that. These two are the best of both styles of CV. It's fine (depending on the price).

Now I'd love a meatier collection too but given how bloody hard it is to play proper Rondo nowadays, I'll take this with no grunbles.
