hyugakojiroI doubt Konami will ever release these collections as physicals. I can't think of any major publisher making physical releases of previously digital games, that's more of an indie thing. I doubt a physical release will ever happen at all, Limited Run does mainly does indie releases. At least the collections come with some sort of e-book, that's some added value.

ovenkitty I think you're probably right about that but would prefer it if you weren't lol I'll likely pick it up for PSN and maybe even Steam. At least we're getting something CV related from Konami so that's certainly a plus.

I don't think Konami actually cares about it's fans
$$$ Don't know $$$ what you $$$ mean?! $$$
And do you want expect anything new from them? Ha! That would've be the day to actually see a full game, new adventure on consoles + computers.
IfC1 - C3 is good enough I guess you will be super pleased. Just look at the cover of that collection.
They will take your gold son,and leave you in the rain.

hyugakojiro The best way to get a limited physical release is to buy the digital version and show that there are fans that want it. Traditionally and in most cases I would agree with that, but in Konami's case probably not. |

I'm not saying that a physical release is likely in any way shape of form, the fact is that there is very very little chance of it happening, and its not cause Konami dosent give a shit about their fanbase. (Not saying that they don't just that thats not the reason)
What I am saying is that Konami isn't likely to order a physical release for the same reason as everyone else... It won't pay off... However not buying these digital re releases isn't going to increase the likelihood of a physical release, nor is it going to increase Konami's motivation to continue this trend. Of course I'd never suggest that anyone buy a game they genuinely don't want but if the only thing thats bugging you is there is not physical version or no new Castlevania game just realize that not buying this isn't helping that possibility take place in the future. But take the Resident Evil 1 remake a few years back, they sold it exclusively digital and it was the best selling digital title on PSN ever, the next year they released RE0 digitally AND they bundled the two together in a physical release, Konami could possibly do the same with these 3 bundles in a years time, Is it likely no... but the better they sell the more likely of a possibility it is.
And the better these sell the more likely Konami would put work into porting say the DS trilogy for modern consoles in the next few years we know they did it for Mirror of Fate already.

Can Konami be so petty that they're aiming for that CV Collection as a summer 2019 to rain on Bloodstained's parade which is also scheduled for summer 2019? Coincidence? I dont think it is.
Also for all of you who keep saying CV SotN and Rondo are definetly going to be included remember not even a year ago Koami released these two games on PS4 for $20. They're not releasing a $20 collection of 6 games with these two they just chanrged $20 for by themselves. They0re definitely sticking to the Classicvanias. The dan website says so. Sticking to the origins it says, so stop dreaming about the GBA/DS titles in this one.
My choice for the last 4 are:
- Bloodlines (it has to be, cant believe this game is still relegated to a Genesis cartridge to this day)
- The Adventure Rebirth (its either this one of the lame GB original)
- Legends (mediocre GB game that'll be included to complete the GB trilogy)
- CV2 (a terrible game I'd rater sacrifice in favor of something else but there's no way they have CV1, 3, 4, and not 2).

Am I the only one here hoping we would get the Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness and Aria of Sorrow in this collection? Anyone who thinks this is setting themselves to dissapointment. It takes all of 30 seconds to do some basic research, guys. Here's the text (in the red background part) of the damn websiteTwo important things most of you are missing from this one crucial sentence: 1) FIRST Konami Castlevania Collection means they're aiming to do more (if this one does well, I assume). 2) "origins of the historic franchise" And yet we have people here seriously expecting PS2 games and a late GBA game to be included? Mark my words, this Collection will be limited to NES, original GB, SNES, Genesis, and I hope the GB Adventure remake at most but they're not touching the Metroidvanias. And Rondo is out of the question as far as I'm concerned since they just rereleased it with SotN not even 6 months ago for PS4 for $20. Rondo and SotN for $20 and now they're making an 8 game collection for $20 and ppl here seriously think they'll include Rondo and SotN. Common sense, peeps! Having said that I think the second CV Collection should absolutely be at the very least the 6 Igavanias from the GBA and DS. Those expecting a remaster of the lackluster and missed by almost nobody PS2 Castlevanias are going to have to keep waiting. |

AztecIt sounds like you think this thread started after the announcement, it was made the prior week when a leak was reported. At that point we didn't know what the collection would be, so we were speculating.

AztecIf it's a question of whether or not Konami is that petty the answer is yes without any hesitation, When Hideo Kojima was setting up his new company he had trouble getting health insurance for his employees because the guy in charge of the insurance company was also on the board of Konami. However, ARE they being that petty? I doubt it, for one thing this collection isn't going to make anyone thats been waiting for Bloodstained say fuck it I'm never buying Bloodstained now and for another this collection will actually only improve sales of Bloodstained. No one is going to buy just one and not the other if they actually want both, they may buy one first for financial reasons but they are still gonna get both. The timing is not a coincidence but it's not malicious either. As for your insistence that only "classic" games will be in the bundle or that there undoubtedly will be a second bundle, I'm not really disagreeing with you but you are placing WAY too much faith in advertisement language, for example what is "classic Castlevania" to Konami? Anything pre Lords of Shadow perhaps or only pre SotN? Looking at the other collections it's clear that Konami is really focusing on arcade titles, and while I know it's not gonna happen I would adore it if one of the Castlevania games was the light gun arcade game Castlevania The Arcade that was only released in Japan. I too hope that the Requiem collection won't be included in this release but it is alas very possible as it wouldn't be any real work apart from redoing the trophies I imagine as I suspect that the trophy list will cover all the games and not individual lists for each game.

I feel a bit sad in advance, for all you guys hyping this up too much. Is it really that cool to get a digital copy of Castlevania 1,2 and 3 again?
Please, lower your expectations, or else you will just go rampage if the theories or your personal favorite idea isn't what to be revealed.
Guys guys guys. It's fun to speculate, but this is not for the fans. It never is. It is for money-making.

EnkeriaThats kinda a douchey thing to say. It's totally cool that you don't care about the collection but a rerelease of Castlevania can mean alot of different things for the future of Konami and there properties, and plenty of people haven't played these games in years and even more of the younger generation have NEVER played these games so yea this is a big deal. The more Castlevania is in the current news and the more minds that experience it the better. Millions of people that hadn't played these games in years or ever will get the chance to play them again . Is this "for the fans" No. Is it "For money-making" Absolutely. Konami's a business, a contemptible business maybe but whether they cared about their fans or not it would still be about making money. And if a game like Bloodlines turns out to be in the collection then fuck yes that would be worth the entire collection in and of itself. I mean the Contra collection alone is a spectacular surprise the last Contra game we got (at least that wasn't a mobile Chinese exclusive ) was Hard Corps: Uprising and that wasn't even technically a Contra game. Most gamers under 30 don't even know what a Contra game is probably.

Considering that I have no way of playing most of the classic CV games without emulating, a practice I don't enjoy because I completely miss the "feel" of the game by emulating (I have 1, 2, SC4 and Bloodlines of physical cartridges I don't have the consoles for; I have 3 for the 2DS which feels terrible and has a minuscule screen so I hate to play that version) yeah I am pretty hyped for this collection. Assumed that it's a decently done job, with quality emulation (and I'm not sure but I hope it is), having this on PC or even better on the Switch, with decently sized screen and everything it would be incredibly worth it.
Not to mention the Contra collection, also. Sometimes it's just nice to play older games on the preferred, modern system without emulating or necroing old consoles that feel terrible to play, need an older television or some other shenanigan.

Telling people the chance of getting the GBA, DS and PS2 'vanias is next to nothing is one thing, that's what I believe too. It's just not likely. Telling people they basically can't be excited for this, even if it is just the chance to own games we've already played to death on a modern system, and then answering "sorry for caring, do what you want" after being told that yeah, maybe people would indeed like the idea of this collection doesn't sound "caring" at all. If people know what they're realistically getting (probably the older games) and they're happy for that, let them be excited.
There's the chance that the porting and all is crap and the collection is a terrible job as a result, but that doesn't mean I can't like the idea (and I do like it, very much).

Since Castlevania Bloodlines has been confirmed for the Genesis Mini, I'm thinking that it won't be in the Konami collection then, assuming that Sega would need to give permission for it to be released elsewhere that is. I still hope it is though.

I still hope it is though. NA or EU? Red blood and bodyparts is almost a must. From what I'm hearing, the Japanese version of the console will include ALL REGIONS that you can select from. (Can't find official confirmation on that, though.) Even less sure about the North American version, though. Regardless, the question is if this re-release of Bloodlines means that Sega has exclusivity, or if the emulation was done for the Anniversary Collection and therefore was made available to Sega. I am really curious about this.

EnkeriaYea a pool of water in the title as opposed to a pool of blood would suck, Also The New Generation instead of Bloodlines just makes me think of them ripping off The Next Generation title from Star Trek. I know the Genesis Mini's gonna have different versions for different regions, I'm ASSUMING that the regions will have the version of that game that is native to that region, in other words I would assume the Europe will get The New Generation and North America will get the bloody Bloodlines RichterBI'm betting that Sega DOES have exclusivity rights to Bloodlines but thay could still authorize its release in the Konami collection I mean people will buy the Mini regardless if Bloodlines is exclusive on it or not I suppose it just depends witch will be more profitable, so who knows?
