All platforms, nice

 

[mrmickfran]

I would legitimately be furious if Hard Corps and Bloodlines aren't part of these collections

 

[RowdyReverb]

Oh nice! I wonder which games will be included in each one
Partial Castlevania list: 1, 3, 2 (GB), and IV with 4 "coming soon" slots

 

[MechanicalWall]

Fucking finally on that Castlevania one

 

[Deleted member 51691]

Nice! Glad Konami decided not to sit on their asses for once. I wonder which Castlevania games will be included.

 

[El Pescado]

Finally! I can't wait to get my hands on all three of these. Hopefully those mystery Castlevania games include Bloodlines and Rondo of Blood.

 

[Brazil]

Very good stuff. 8 games in the first one makes me very hopeful for the Castlevania collection.

 

[Bog]

My guess. Bloodlines and the 3 original GB games.

 

[Deleted member 49438]

Did Konami just do something good? Nice.

 

[MentalZer0]

YESSSSS!

 

[Silky]

Man would I love to see a Shattered Soldier port

 

[Terror-Billy]

Wait, 20 bucks each?

 

[TheAggroCraig]

I guess I can hope for SotN on Switch through this thing since it didn't get that PS4 collection, but I won't hold my breath.

And maybe they'll throw a GBA/DS game into this too... hmm, good stuff overall.

 

[Delio]

Totally getting Arcade collection for sure.

 

[bangai-o]

Who is Konami's port studio?

 

[Shard Shinjuku]

I approve of this.

 

[famikon]

Price is good.

I need to know only two things – quality of ports/emulation and if there will be Contra: Hard Cops in Contra collection

 

[salary0n]

Wait, they didn't include Simon's Quest. Why?

 

[Strings]

Hoping some of the DS Castlevanias make it, since we have 4 unrevealed games. Seems unlikely though.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Castlevania collection has 8 game slots on its game page. CV1, CV3, Belmont's Revenge and Super CV4 so far.

I would be shocked if SotN makes it into this collection - it seems to be emphasizing early games.

 

[Piichan]

Interesting how Haunted Castle is in the Arcade Collection, and not the Castlevania one. But it makes sense I guess.

 

[BriGuy]

I'll take one of each.

 

[TreIII]

Who is Konami's port studio?

Probably the only question more important than what games are included.

 

[Firebricks]

Will buy the castlevania one without hesitation

 

[KtotheRoc]

I am very interested in these. VERY interested.

 

[Dr Doom]

Contra and Castlevania on switch

 

[Jawmuncher]

With this being older fare, looks like Castlevania Bloodlines has a chance.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Neat! Totally buying the Castlevania and Contra collections on Switch.

 

[metsallica]

Wait, they didn't include Simon's Quest. Why?

They haven't revealed the full lists yet.

Konami's back? Did we miss them? Can we be happy again?

 

[ZeroCDR]

Castlevania and especially the Contra collections are looking promising.

That arcade collection tho.. yikes. Needs way more games at that price point. Arcade games are shallow af.

 

[Deleted member 2620]

sign me the hell up assuming these are halfway decently prepared

 

[BPHusker]

Is it digital in every territory? I'd import it from Japan if it was physical.

 

[TubaZef]

Hope the Castlevania selection is good

 

[PlanetSmasher]

With this being older fare, looks like Castlevania Bloodlines has a chance.

Click to shrink...

I'm guessing Bloodlines and Rondo will be on the final list, yeah.

 

[Keym]

Whoooooa, Castlevania II for gameboy? I'm definitely buying this!!

 

[Critch]

Wait, they didn't include Simon's Quest. Why?

Click to shrink...

Page looks like it's got space for 4 more games. Simon's is gonna be one of those, probably Bloodlines, Castlevania Adventure...

 

[Grapezard]

I couldn't care less about the Castlevania NES trilogy, but 8 games is nothing to sneeze at. I'm very interested in the remaining 4 games.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Hopefully there is regional select versions. Like being able to select Akumajou Densetsu instead of Castlevania III in this instance. All for that VRC6 goodness, and better difficulty balance too.

 

[Red Devil]

Please tell me Contra Hard Corps will be there.

 

[Border]

Only 8 games in the Arcade Classics Collection. 1 of which is the abysmal Castlevania arcade game. Where's Parodius or Sunset Riders?

I worry that the other collections will be similarly stingy.

 

[ArmadilloGame]

All three of these are insta-buys for me. LIFE FORCE! I grew up on that game.

 

[Shard Shinjuku]

I am hoping the Castlevania Rebirth and Contra Rebrith are a part of these since Wiiware is no longer a thing.

 

[JCal]

Classics, baby! Hell yeah! Soon, too. Can't wait for Castlevania.

 

[Foffy]

Belmont's Revenge being in that collection is already a God-tier decision.

Add Bloodlines and you can fill in the rest with whatever the fuck else you want.

 

[Deleted member 176]

hell yeah

 

[Barely Able]

My guess. Bloodlines and the 3 original GB games.

Click to shrink...

Probably the best guess since SOTN and Rondo are already in a collection on PS4. Could see it having bloodlines, rebirth, the 68000 version and another non-iga game though (maybe Rondo even though That kills my precious line of thinking).

 

[Deleted member 10629]

Nice! Count me in for the Castlevania and Contra ones.

 

[Metallix87]

Ugh. No physical edition? I truly hate modernity sometimes...
