Castlevania Collection was released nearly two years ago, and considering that it isn't especially taxing to aggregate classic Castlevania games with some static art and menus into a compilation, one has to wonder where a Part II or even Part III are.
Some, if not all, of the potential games in these outings are extremely difficult to find in the wild as their native hardware dims and dies. Circle of the Moon relies on backlighting to stay playable and only shone - literally - once played on the GBA Player for GameCube or the backlight GBA clamshell. Symphony of the Night has features and translations scattered across multiple entries and could finally sport a "Best Of" version. ReBirth is locked to WiiWare as a platform. Dawn of Sorrow has contextual screen swipes that would translate well to the handheld touchscreen display of the Switch.
Given the series' historic ties with Nintendo platforms one can only hope a new Castlevania aggregate is announced today, but if not, hopefully soon. These are some of these best games ever released.
