Cool list. I've played most of those and the only ones that I consider bad are The Adventure and Simon's Quest. Super Castlevania IV is a masterpiece and Bloodlines is quite fun too. It's also kinda funny that Rondo of Blood was released between Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines, but they obviously can't release it in this compilation since it would make Requiem pointless.
Very good list of games.
19.99 isn’t that bad, all those are good games, hopefully they release a second collection as well
Well shit. There goes all my excitement for this. I didn't even realize there were that many Castlevanias before they became Metroidvanias.
Super castlevania 4 is a great game regardless, but I too prefer the Metroidvanias. Maybe they'll make a part 2 collection.
I hope so. I might still get this one as I would love to replay SC4 and I've never played Bloodlines, but it would have to be at a discount, as I really don't have much interest in replaying the NES games, and while I haven't played the Gameboy games, I have much less interest in them as I highly doubt they'll have aged well.
A part 2 collection with all the Metroidvanias would be gaming bliss and I'd buy it full price day 1.
Ditto. Not that into replaying the NES titles. SC4 and Bloodlines would be the only draw to me. Nothing compares to the GBA/DS games in a collection.
Only would be interested in playing Super Castlevania IV and Castlevania Bloodlines so I pass on this unless its dirt cheap when its on sale. If they had a collection of all the GBA and DS games I would buy it day one.
Why put all the old games in the franchise when you can put only some right?
Anniversary Collection II, yo.
Have most of these but Bloodlines is a tough find. Hopefully they'll do a collection of the later entries GBA, DS, etc)
