Bit burnt out from the Advance collection, but definitely will grab this at some point!

Now release Symphony and Rondo on all platforms, Konami, you dicks. Original English PS dub will do fine. I want my memes.
And for Belmont’s sake throw in Adventure Rebirth as well.

I want to see Chronicles on some modern platforms as well

 

[Astral Dog]

Never played any of these.....interesting. How were they, and what platform were they originally released on?

These are some of the best DS games ever made

And some of the best Castlevania games as well, though i think gamers back then were bored because they were yearly releases,and reused some sprites , they didn't appreciate these gems unfortunately

Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia are amazing, Portrait of Ruin is more flawed, but still has rock solid gameplay ,bosses and cool music

 

[BlackTron]

Way to be a dick. I already told you in my first initial post I didn't see an option. I was hoping someone could varify there was a way

You reacted to my post saying to have a look at 1:48 first so it appeared like you were just letting us know all the options in the vid are 100% available lol.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

I never played symphony of the night. What’s the best route of playing that?

i downloaded it on ps3 for like $5. hdmi output.
ps1 copies cost a million bucks.

Is there any order i should play these in, or are they standalone?

 

[Tarin02543]

Is there a way to play Rebirth in an emulator? I assume it is possible.

Ofcourse, try Dolphin. Please also play Contra Rebirth and Gradius Rebirth.

 

[MrMephistoX]

Sold! I tried this on Steam Deck via emus previously and it was serviceable but clunky with the Dual Screen on the same large screen.

 

[TidusYuna]

I will wait the physical limited run release!

Maybe time to sell the Ecclesia copy before it loses value.

Also considering selling my castlevania DS trilogy.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

I can't find them on PSN...weird

Theyre there, i just got it. Search on Castlevania, and its really far into the list oddly, instead of near the top.

 

[ClanOfNone]

This is a great co

Order doesn’t really matter. Dawn is a direct follow up to Aria, the other two are pretty unconnected.

Thanks!

Konami redemption arc continues.

 

[ssringo]

Dawn of Sorrow is a sequel to Aria of Sorrow which is in the GBA collection but otherwise they're standalone. Even then it doesn't really matter. Order of release would be Dawn, Portrait then Ecclesia.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Man, more shadow drops like this please. The GBA collection was $20 at launch, I’m kinda shocked they priced this at $25. Don’t tell them I probably would’ve paid double that with a smile on my face.

 

[Shadowstar39]

And its bought on switch... thanks , instant buy. Now where the hell is sotn port for switch?

 

[Kacho]

This shit makes me happy

 

[ssringo]

Yeah, the price was a legit shocker. Like, people were very interested in getting these games and they obviously had to do work to get them running properly without the (3)DS dual screen and touch control setup. I was expecting a $40 price tag with a launch discount down to $30 or $35.

 

[Joelenheimer]

Yoooooo. Fuckin tight

I guess they know that the price is a huge factor plus the initial sales are good PR for long term legs.

It's why I buy all these day 1. It's just a great product, great deal. Totally support that.

 

[Alebrije]

Are those games "difficult". Like the NES ones?

Do not know what but find 2D castelvanias the most difficult ones...

 

[Punished Miku]

No. The Metroidvania ones are mostly light action games focused on maxing out map exploration, item collection, farming enemies for items or rare power drops.

Order of Ecclesia is definitely up there in terms of difficulty.

 

[near]

I only managed to beat Portrait of Ruin, so I'll have to get this collection at some point. Anyone bought this yet for the Steam Deck? Any compatibility issues?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Here's the options screen. You tell me

As I said, it doesn't seem to be a full screen without having to have the others in view.

Fuck!

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Fuck!

Exactly!

 

[Generic]

I didn't expect a remake of Haunted Castle to ever be made.

 

[ssringo]

Few settings screens for people to see what's available. There's more like a gallery, bestiary and such but I figure these are the most important ones.

Got the Switch version. Hopefully they come to PS5 as well.

 

[Gambit2483]

Order of Ecclesia and Dawn of Sorrow shits on the Advance Collection in almost every way. Don't sleep on these titles if you're a Castlevania fan.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Got the Switch version. Hopefully they come to PS5 as well.

Theyre on PSN today also. I got that version instead because of the trophies.

 

[DeVeAn]

Xbox also! Great as that's where I own the other collections.

 

[MagusMajul]

damn this is a good deal, ill take this over that kick starter bull-crap any day

 

[near]

Bought it. Just tested it out on the Steam Deck, it seems to run fine, no issues noticed. M2 handled the port, I doubled checked the credits. We're eating good on this one.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

If I hadn't just bought a 3Ds I'd be all over this. They made me wait too long.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Now release Symphony and Rondo on all platforms, Konami, you dicks. Original English PS dub will do fine. I want my memes.
And for Belmont’s sake throw in Adventure Rebirth as well.

Have at me!

I find it quite uncomfortable to hold for some reason

Try buying some new larger joycons if you want to try them. I got large hands but I find the joycons good enough but if you are used at playing with PS or Xbox some Hori Split Pad replacement might work.

 

[Punished Miku]

Capcom should price Ace Attorney like this. Would probably do better.

 

[Gambit2483]

Maybe, maybe not. Ace Attorney has its fans. Making it cheaper won't necessarily turn non-visual novel gamers onto the franchise.

 

[LordCBH]

I need this box art so bad. Come on Konami. Do it for the memes

 

[Fake]

The layout is actually great. I guess they are using AI for the video?

 

[Tarin02543]

hm, switch or pc? Pc lets me play with v sync off...

 

[Astral Dog]

Is there any order i should play these in, or are they standalone?

i recommend playing Aria of Sorrow first, wich is the prequel of Dawn of Sorrow, with the same cast amazing game as well and its included on the Advance Collection.

Portrait of Ruin is the 'sequel' to Castlevania bloodlines but with different characters

And Order of Ecclesia is pretty much standalone

 

[TheUsual]

I'll note my Dual Sense works natively on the Steam version. Did not want to use my Xbox controller and listen to that click click click of the D-pad while playing.

 

[tomato shrub]

I never played symphony of the night. What’s the best route of playing that?

PS4 port is very good and also gives you Rondo of Blood. Maybe some physical copies are still floating around? LRG produced them, but they were also sold in stores. There's some complaints with the PS4 version, but it's just weird nerd nitpicking that no newcomer would notice. The biggest difference to the PS1 version is new voice acting - which is still pretty subpar, but not funny bad anymore.

 

[Gambit2483]

hm, switch or pc? Pc lets me play with v sync off...

Yea, but Switch let's you play anywhere...

 

[darrylgorn]

The only Castlevania games (other than CIII) that I care about. Can't wait to play these on steam deck!

 

[Icymanipulator]

I passed on the GBA collection, but this one is interesting.
