There is a bunch of new concept art for all three games that I've neve seen before.
Like, rough-rough stuff?  The commercial was touting "never-before-seen" when it was just the stuff from Konami's Japanese site for Ecclesia. '.'

Castlevania themed energy drinks, anyone?  Got an ad for this immediately after I reposted the collection ad on Facebook.

I didn’t think there was anything worth getting excited about. It's mostly model sheets and portrait art, a lot of it has been around for years in some form.
Only about two pages look like they are from a game design document and they didn't even bother to translate them, there is zero art from Haunted castle.
Ironically they included concept art that looks like it's for POR's intro animation but appear to have removed the opening from the collection, unless I missed it. Some of the jingles in Haunted castle didn’t play for me so maybe my PC just didn’t play the video or something.

Do these games seem harder to anyone else?  Maybe I'm just older than when I first played it and just don't have the same reaction time, but it feels like I'm playing on hard mode right off the bat at least in the boss fights.  Getting killed by Portrait of Ruin Dullahan after only two hits of his big attacks?  Feels like I forgot to put on armor, but I don't think that's it.  Maybe I had to rely on potions back in the day too and just don't remember it.

@Reinhart77 nah, you’re just rusty lol. Once you get in the groove you’ll have an easier time. I remember getting my ass handed to me the first time I played Order of Ecclesia, and I expect it to happen again when I purchase this collection.

Unfortunately, it’ll have to wait, since my Switch is currently out of commission (one of my joycons broke because it was on my night table & I jumped out of bed because I thought the devil was attacking me, my dog laying next to me, a pug, didn’t alert me in time of the impending danger since dogs are perceptive to paranormal phenomena, in doing so my leg accidentally knocked the Switch to the floor & the controller broke off) so I sent it out to get it repaired.

Ingredients: Carbonated Water, Natural and Artificial Flavours, Sodium Gluconate, Malic Acid, Caffeine (Purecaf™), Potassium Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (goBHB®), Vitamin Blend (Maltodextrin, Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12), L-Tyrosine, Sucralose, Potassium Citrate, Citric Acid, Acesulfame Potassium, Antioxidant Blend (Green Coffee Bean Extract, Green Tea Extract, Turmeric Extract, Tart Cherry, Blueberry, Broccoli, Kale), L-Theanine, Steviol Glycosides.

If you could expand the "Natural and Artificial Flavours", you'd have 6 more lines. And remember, natural flavours doesn't mean natural.

i eventually realized that some of the bosses in Portrait of Ruin are really more like puzzles.  if you don't figure out the puzzle, you'd better hope you don't take a hit.

So apparently this collection is getting a physical release, with all sorts of merchandise included. This will be the first time I’ve purchased a Castlevania game in over 10 years!

Pre-orders end this Sunday (the 13th) and although typically I’m not a fan of CV products not officially released by Konami, this Limited Run package caught my eye for some reason. Don’t know why. The standard edition will be the typical price $34.99 USD while the deluxe edition with all the additional goodies will set you back $200! The standard will ship in February while the deluxe won’t land until July unfortunately


My only gripe is that, they definitely should’ve included Adventure ReBirth (which is still inaccessible, legally) and a proper release of Grimoire of Souls, which I technically own but I dislike playing games on my phone.


Anyone else plan on getting? or will I be the only one lol

I still don't agree, this is not about what people do, it's about what they should be doing instead.

Nah, the no hitboxes thing is total bullshit. We're talking Castlevania here, where traditionally everything is whippable. That you can't attack spawning zombies, axes, or tree monsters is crap and slows down the pacing. Castlevania games are usually designed where they're s breeze to run through once you've gotten adept at them, and having to stop and wait for a zombie to have a specific moment you can attack is just bad design.

It's a good effort from M2 but feels rushed and too short, where I wish they would have taken some extra liberties like they did with ReBirth, which is overall a much more complete experience than HCR. It also omits some of the set pieces and weirdness that make arcade HC charming, like the Yellow Devil wall, the harpy warp room, etc. I wish they'd kept that stuff and expanded on it, rather than do away with some of the cool elements that actually made HC stand out despite some of its design flaws.
