Konami's E3 show floor listing reveals multiplatform compilation (and other stuff)
- Thread starter Mega Man Zero
- Start date
A compilation isn't the only part to this rumor.

...I want to be excited but I can't :x Keeping my expectations in check. Simon in Smash would be neat, and make sense as a last spot guest char.
Hear me out. What if this rumored new Castlevania iteration is being developed by Platinum Games? There were rumors floating around during E3 that the Babylon game was not the only game Platinum has been involved in (besides Bayo 3 of course). Honestly feel like PG could really do something special with the series. You would think with the momentum they have been driving through the Netflix series they would want to make sure a new game would be an exceptional title.
Is there more to the whole Platinum making another project? Could you explain more on this rumor?
Babylon
Bayo 3
Granblue Re: Link
World of Demons
Kamiya's genre-redefining IP
(also, Nier Automata Xbone port + support for Lost Order)
Castlevania, too? How many projects can a 200-person team handle?
I'd expect them to do Metal Gear Rising 2. A hack n' slash castlevania would be nice though.
I wouldn't be opposed to anything by Platinum, but I'm having a Castlevania withdrawal and getting a 3D action game instead of, well, actual Castlevania after all this time would be disappointing. Konami should take the same approach Capcom is using for Mega Man: gauging interest with compilations, bringing back the franchise in its purest form and then the rest.
Bad news.
The original leaker (Dasvergeben) of the Castlevania stuff says the embargoed game is... Hyper Sports R... the same game they already announced.

None of the above. His original rumor never said the games were going to be shown at E3. We just assumed due to the timing of the rumor.
But this doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Let's just wait until season 2 of the anime is announced. Konami has to announce something by then.

Serious question, why do you guys want Konami to profit off these IPs after they've continually sabotaged them over and over and over again? I genuinely wish that we never get another Silent Hill/Castlevania/Metal Gear game again because I know how goddamn fickle gamers are and they'll support these scumbags without a second thought.
Seriously how many people with #FuckKonami on their Twitter bios will be pre-ordering the inevitable Snake Eater remake?

Was this rumoured Castlevania collection supposed to be multi-platform or just Switch only? If the former, that's already a red flag. I believe the older Castlevania games had some form of Nintendo exclusivity, no? I mean, none of them have ever showed up on any non Nintendo systems.
I would support collections and remasters/remakes just to get Konami's games on current platforms. The company sucks ass, but they have great games in their back catalog that shouldn't be lost to time, Imo.
Maybe because some people are simply just interested in videogames and don't want to partake in witch hunts?
If they announce a Castlevania game and it looks promising I surely won't say no and even a CV collection is fine by me.

There was a collection of all the NES Castlevanias and Contras for PC once, so I don't think so.
Serious question : if the game/remake/collection is good... then who care ? I love playing good games. That's it.
What original video? The rumor came from Dasvergeben on reddit on june 6th.
"Castelvania is making a comeback with two new titles.
I believe each are multiplatform releases (one may be Switch exclusive but haven't been able to verify that).
One is a new title and the other a collection of classic Castlevania games, with Symphony of the Night being the headline game.
[...] this info about the two Castlevania games come from someone mighty reputable (who also has heard the same Smash leaks that I have, in case you are curious) so I have no reason to not believe them first and foremost."

What if we never felt the entire company deserved boycotting? There are still good people working there, remember that not everyone can just leave on a whim...especially when the company tries to blackball you across the industry.
So this would still make it seem like that Verg guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
I don't think I'd pass up on any collection - especially if portable, but Bloodlines would send me over the moon, and I never played Vampire Killer (MSX).
I knew they were just placeholders.
Let's hope this Hyper Sports R isn't too bad then.
Yeah, wait for tomorrow and don't hope for something big unfortunately. Just something cool you'll play alone or with a friend.
I was watching one of the e3 recap (i don't remember which one and which day, sorry), and they didn't saw nothing more than the sport game.
The dream is dead for now i guess.
