I'm assuming this will only be the GBA games since porting them should require little/no work. The DS games would require at least some rework (like the Seal system in DoS) which seems more than what Konami is interested in doing at the moment.

I am not going to replay these games but they are generally all great and definitely worth playing if you missed them on the GBA (same for the DS).

Hell yeah. I was literally saying in a thread earlier today that I wasn't happy with the Castlevania output.

One of the biggest gaming injustices was going from that to this........🤢

I like the DoS designs.

Is there any chance the name isn't final?

I would buy it either way, but I hope it includes the DS games too.

Aria was my first Castlevania and I have lots of fond memories playing it.

I hope someday we see a 3D collection with 64, Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innocence and Circle of darkness.

M2 still hasn't fixed the Pixel Perfect aspect ratio on the Castlevania and Contra collections. It's set to the Genesis' pixel perfect aspect ratio. 😑

It's not bad at all, just the music isn't as good as it usually is (though it still has a few great themes)

Juste is the best Belmont too.
Yeah I wanna echo this. HoD I think is too maligned, it's rough around the edges sure, but I don't think it's any worse than CoTM.
It's actually a looker too, just has a horrible rep from being seen with raw pixels so much.

Speaking of, I really hope they can try to do something about the brightness/add an appropriate filter and do something to address the audio quality.

Yep. And actually my personal favorite of the "Advance trio".

Like another said on here awhile back: I agree that Konami Kobe were the ones who best understood Castlevania, as evident from how COTM felt like the best compromise possible between Classic and SOTN-style Castletroid.

Yup, it also has some of my favorite versions of the classic tracks.
Impressed that it had such quality specially compared to the lq soundtrack of hod

My greatest sin as a metroidvania fan is to have never played Symphony of the Night. I don't get why Konami has such disregard for such a beloved series. Specially now with revived interest thanks to the animated Netflix series, its like they hate money or something.

I'll take it. Would like the DS games to be included but maybe that'll be a separate collection.

Hopefully this sells well and we get the DS titles next. There are rom hacks for DoS which remove all touchscreen stuff and its perfectly playable, better even, so lets doooo it

A shame that the DS games would need some reworking because of the touch screen parts, which I could totally do without.

Don't lie to me. Don't lie to me!


Big GBA energy recently with another 2D Metroid, Advance Wars, Warioware, and now potentially this. Would have liked to get the DS games in there too, but what are you gonna do.

I played all three of these, though I never really gave CotM a proper shot. Really liked HoD and never really got the complaints, though Juste's head kind of looking like a little sperm kind of bugged me. Still AoS was the best of the three IMO.

I do hope Golden Sun gets a re-release some day.

I just worry it'll get a remake similar to Advance Wars that makes it 3D and does bad things to the artstyle which is great in Golden Sun 1+2.
It's certainly not ideal, but Golden sun 1&2 are on Wii U VC for $8 each.

Edit: I think Wii U VC even includes manuals.
