I think that's not the Arcade Castlevania crisis is talking about. It's this one.

OMG I played that when I was on holiday in the 2016 I though no one would have ever played that.
I thought id never get the chance to play it. sadly it was only the once but man it was sooo fun, and poves that FPS

Oo, only 3 more days until the arcade classics comes out.  At the very least, we’ll get some ideas of what features might be in the CV classics set.  I also wonder what kind of never-before-seen art and stuff we might see for Haunted Castle.

I am disappointed by Kid Dracula! I hate parody games.

Meh, could live without The Adventure and Kid Dracula...  Even though it is cool that they appear to be doing the NES version of Kid Dracula.  Would much rather have had Dracula X or Chronicles.  But I guess those are pretty readily available elsewhere.  And of course, the pipe dream of one of the N64 games.  But I do luckily have LoD and a working N64.  :D

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

I haven't played Bloodlines or Belmont's Revenge. I don't really care about Kid Dracula though.

I'm not sure why Kid Dracula would be a part of the collection since it is a parody game. They could have snuck in the SNES Dracula X instead. The rest of the collection seems cool and it'll give people new to the series a chance to play the games that started it all.

I.....am disappointed in this line up. I was REALLY hoping for Rebirth, Chronicles, and at least Rondo.

I might pass on this, I was really looking forward to this... Adventure GB? Really?

Ha, so after all that speculation about what types of games they’d put in this collection, they really just did it by release date.  If that’s the case though, then we’re sorely missing Vampire Killer, Chronicles, and Rondo of Blood.  Maybe they’ll release a Home Computer collection and include all three of these games in it, just like Haunted Castle got put in an Arcade Collection?  Or maybe they’re just too much of a pain to emulate ha.

It’s too bad we got boss work for all the Haunted Castle bosses except for Medusa!  Maybe someone spilled coffee over her original artwork?  :(

Too bad about only no international release, but at least you can adjust the difficulty level on Haunted Castle.  I wonder if one of the level/difficulty options adjusts how high the bats fly up and down?  I’ll have to experiment ha.  Also too bad there only seems to be one save slot. Better than none though.

Oh no, another thing that’s missing in the wii u version is the ability to turn it in portrait mode.  Castlevania games don’t care, but it makes playing the shooters a lot less fun on the switch screen.

I have no comment about the full list.

For Rondo of Blood I believe why they didn't count it as an entry is because there was a ps4 cheap collection ripped from Dracula X Chronicles - RoB & SotN.

Yeah, there is no way they would put Rondo or SoTN on another collection right now.  That would completely nullify any use for Requiem.  I am disappointed, but to be honest 1-4, Bloodlines, and Belmont's revenge covers most of the gold standard Classicvanias I will buy it regardless, to show Konami castlevania can still make them money...

I noticed that one of the sample pages from the bonus book has a round table discussion with Yamane and the new producer of the series (the name doesn't appear on that page, though) This person apparently also oversees the Netflix series. I wonder who it could be?

Also interesting to see how they take active steps to not mention IGA by name.
