There goes that weird "Simon's Quest will be in an Iga-vania bundle instead" theory.

Still wish we got Adventure: ReBirth though.

These are coming to all the consoles right? Never played Castlevania before so it'd be cool to play through these.

Kid Dracula!?!? Fuck yeah!!

Nice to see them include CV2 GB as well!

I would be hyped for Bloodlines as well; but I think I'd rather play it on the Mega Drive mini. The emulation will probably be better there...

... still, I'm not complaining about getting a portable version on my Switch! :D

Bloodlines and Dracula's Curse make this a day one purchase

Rondo & the others will be in the second collection most likely.

Sweet, Kid Dracula AND Bloodlines, though I'm playing that via Genesis Mini.

Bummer that there's no Adventure Rebirth, but maybe in the next collection. lol at the fact they hid simon's quest, like of course they'd include all 3 nes games.

Never really played much Castlevania, but never felt a huge desire to play any of these older ones. Though I want to play Super IV and Bloodlines, and Kid Dracula for the weirdness.

Buying this because I want the GBA/DS era stuff. Also Rebirth when?

We better get the ability to apply Color filters to the GB games, granted that was tied to the Super GB but ... I want it still.

Kid Dracula is a fucking left field choice. I'm definitely going to get this on Switch.

GB Kid Dracula is much better than the Famicom game. I'm pretty disappointed in three of the four new announcements. Adventure is one of the worst games in the entire series.

Rebirth games are dead. :( If Adventure Rebirth was ever going to feature again it would have been here surely?

I guess it was more effort to emulate/port or whatever a Wii game so they went meh here's to the easier route! They're just gonna be a 'hey remember that cool thing that they did on Wii' footnote of gaming history forever.

Really hope Vol. 2 of this has Rondo and SotN etc. I'm sure they just decided to give it a bit more of a space between the stupid PS4 double pack and re-re-releasing them again.

Kid Dracula is a wtf inclusion and I'm sad that Rondo and Adventure Rebirth didn't make the cut, but maybe that'll be saved for the second or third Castlevania collection. This will still definitely be worth my $20.

Oh hell yes, very much looking forward to Kid Dracula. Shame about no Rondo, but oh well.

Adventure is straight trash, should have been Rebirth. That better make it into one of the next collections.

Kid Dracula is a damn surprise though.

Also, we're just ignoring the entire Metroidvania era of the series? Weird move, honestly. Nobody gives a shit about The Adventure, Simon's Quest or Belmont's Revenge.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

People should care about that game since it's really damn good. I would assume the metroidvania era is gonna be difficult to post because

1) 3 of the games are on ds and will have to be reworked for a single screen experience

2) they're already selling sotn in another collection

I don't get the impression Konami is putting a lot of effort into these collections/ports
