I guess Simon's Quest could also make an appearance here since it was closer to that style. So the other four will probably be stuff like Dracula X and Bloodlines, and maybe The Adventure ReBirth? Then a second collection later on will have Symphony of the Night and the following games from GBA and DS. If the remaining four are Bloodlines, Simon's Quest, Rondo of Blood, and Castlevania Chronicles then you pretty much have all the worthwhile classic style Castlevania games.īased on the line "The first Konami Castlevania Collection is designed to be a complete collection around the origins of the historic franchise" I'm guessing the Castlevania collection is going to include the classic-style games and there will be a later collection for the Metroidvania ones. But it would be silly to include that and leave other games off. Adrock mentioned Kid Dracula as a joke but that's not a terrible pick since the cart is now so expensive.
#CONTRA REBIRTH ROM SERIES#
You have to be pretty familiar with the series to know to cherry pick it and not lazily just go with the inferior Castlevania the Adventure instead. Including it actually shows some savvy in the decision making process of what to include. I've never played it but Castlevania 2 on the Gameboy is supposed to be quite good. I'm hoping the other 4 games (if we're staying on a 2D theme) include some of the GBA games, Rondo of Blood, and Bloodlines since Bloodlines has NEVER been re-released. I never played the GameBoy Castlevania 2 and Simon's Quest is no gem itself, but the GameBoy wasn't known for having great games outside of Pokemon & Tetris so it's probably garbage just like the rest of the handheld's lineup. Having a Castlevania from the Gameboy on there instead of Simon's Quest is just.weird. The Contra collection has confirmed Contra (NES), Super Contra (arcade), Super C (NES) and Contra III: The Alien Wars (Super Nintendo): this is the first time ever that the NES Contra title has been re-released in a digital format, after being included as an unlockable in 2007's Contra DS. There may be more than one Castlevania collection, as Konami has said "The first Konami Castlevania Collection is designed to be a completed collection around the origins of the historic franchise." The Contra and Castlevania lineups have also been partially revealed: the Castlevania collection will include the original, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Super Castlevania IV, and the Game Boy title Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge.
The Arcade collection, releasing first on April 18 for US$19.99, will include Gradius I and II, Life Force/Salamander, Twinbee, Scramble, Thunder Cross, Haunted Castle, and Typhoon/A-Jax.
The three compilations are themed around Konami arcade titles, Castlevania and Contra. As part of celebrations of their 50th anniversary, Konami will be rolling out three compilations of their classic titles into the summer.
