Thanks for continuing into being positive, I really get your frustration but we can always celebrate the revive of a great franchise
This Gen is fucking with my mind, everything I ever wanted is being released on my platform of choice.
Thank God that SOTN is the original and not the PSP one, i loved the original voice acting, and it seems that the slowdowns will be eliminated completely since this is optimized.
Cannot fucking wait.
Only game remaining on my scratch list now is: Final Fantasy Tactics
Gen of the forever

Hang on...Panzer Dragoon Saga, Dragoon Force, Power Stone Collection, Rival Schools Collection not out yet.
This is really strange. You told me in the windjammers thread that there are alot of reasons for something to be exclusive. We had a thread ''Why aint there more third party switch exclusives''. I dont think this will stay exclusive but that's some fucking double standard right here.
Considering i just wanted symphony on a modern system...no.
SOTN T_T. I'll be on the way for unlock that platinum trophy no matter what!! No price so far? :/
Well, could also be included in the PS1 Classic cause those versions of the PS1 games are the originals released on PS1 back then. They are not the rereleases on PSN or updated HD versions. For example, FFVII is the original PS1 version with the original format and localization. That version has yet to be on anything but PS1 and is in the original format. Not the PSN, PS4, or PC versions. So SotN is not out of the question.
Launch exclusives arent that surprising and it looked Bomberman only happened because of the Switch.
But yeah in general multiplattform makes more sense for all releases that can run on all viable systems.
Would be as stupid...no reason for these old-ass games to not be on all systems lol.
well that was a trailer...I guess she was so cropped and had so many cuts lmao
ima wait on this one coach

I'm pretty sure you're again being completely obtuse and I'd explain you why is that but apparently mods don't want that here so I'm holding off.
As someone who has Dracula X Chronicles I just see no reason to get this.
It's Konami. SotN is 90% assured to be on Playstation Classic. This is just a cheep cash grab, and an excuse to not make another Castlevania when it doesn't meet their expectations.

The PC Engine version wasn't available in the west on the original release in 1993. The NES version was compromised to accommodate the system, especially with the sound track.
At no point did I state it was never released in the west.
Was really hoping for a more comprehensive collection. If I want to replay SotN & Rondo, I've already got Dracula X Chronicles on my Vita.
Yeah, though Konami seems to be promoting it as the opposite for whatever reason.
Could just be grindy. Getting all weapons in SotN can take a while I guess.
Not hard from a technical standpoint. But like others have pointed out, Nintendo might not allow it if they had some exclusivity deal going on back then. The original 3 have never been ported outside a nintendo console.
Not having to play through Dracula X Chronicles sounds like a good reason to me. Lol.
I'm sorry but this is like being excited about a port of Sonic 2. It's not that hard a game to find, so I just don't get it.
Compare this to the Mega Man Legacy Collections and even with Capcom chopping them in two you still got a better deal then this.
Trevor makes a cute "appearance" in SOTN!
He's also
a zombie version in one of the boss fights.
Actually the soundtrack is the best part about Dracula X, it's the level design that sucks
Yeah especially if you want to get the drops of the Guardian/Final Guard. But Crissaegrim will make everything easier when grinding for drops.
I'll get it, but hoping it comes to other consoles eventually
Oh cute, a known console warrior stirring shit up in every thread he can.

I hope there's an option to run Symphony of the Night at the original resolution. The 3d and scaled/rotated 2d objects are going to stand out weirdly next to the standard pixel art. You can see this briefly in the trailer when they show the Galamoth boss fight. On PS1 the pixels are a consistent size/angle for all objects due to the rendering resolution being the same as the pixel art. When you increase the resolution the aesthetic gets thrown off and you end up with a strange mix of clarity for different types of assets (see the material between the legs of the boss).

Yeah and then we got like two ports of the PC Engine version, so this really isn't special.
I liked it but whatever, opinions.
Rondo was exclusive to the Wii Shop... Until it came to PSP with an exclusive 3D port in tow.
Symphony was Exclusive to PS1... then Xbox 360 later on... Then PS Classics, and PSP, and... oy, back and forth.
This collection also actually has trophies. And a Platinum. That's still not a sure assumption for many a PS4 smaller digital release.
We're in a world where almost every "exclusive" retro compilation comes to other systems weeks or months later.
Heck, we have Ys and Phoenix Wright Games coming to the Xbox One! NES Roms on an XBO exclusive compilation. A once exclusive Genesis collection coming to the Switch, alongside Switch exclusive emulations from another distributer! Final Fantasies and Saga games releasing on everything under the sun.

Really, whatever has this "exclusive" for now... it probably won't last long. And whatever they do later will probably have Switch exclusive features (screen touch for inventory, Amiibo support, NES games added or places on the "Nintenflix" service at the same time, etc) and XB1 (Play Anywhere, premiering on Gamepass simultaneously, Special art for the Achievements, etc).
This release seems much less about Smash Promotion, and more about having the most recognizable games up SOMEWHERE to tie with the Netflix release. It's just a way to bank on the name. Is it the perfect storm to coincide with *everything* they have going on right now? Of course not. Is it a pretty "Konami" move,, with a sprinkle of "Sony is the lead platform this gen" tossed in for good measure? Most assuredly.
There's so many avenues to allow the release of the same thing in multiple ways now-a-days, I'm not sure why "exclusives" ruffle feathers much anymore.
