General Castlevania Discussion / Re: If these were Konami's next compilations

I think the main thing that’s holding back a proper DS collection is the dual touch screen controls. It’s going to take a bit of reprogramming to rework them for the Switch, which is possible, but Konami is just too lazy to actually do it.

Would you buy them?


Castlevania The DS Collection
-Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia, and Legends (bonus)
-full text of Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku
-"playable" copies of the Battle of Old Castle and Legend of Satanic Castle gamebooks
-a look at the EGM fax/internal reference document with commentary
-art gallery, cut content, scans, and music player


Castlevania Lament of Innocence & Curse of Darkness Double Pack
-the above two games and CV 64/LOD (bonus)
-the LOI mobile manga
-both volumes of the COD manga by Ko Sasakura
-the Prelude of Revenge manga by Ayami Kojima
-full text of the Demon's Blood, Blood Nightmare novel
-insight into the cancelled SOTN sequel
-art gallery, cut content, scans, and music player as usual


All games in both collections would be fully remastered for all major platforms complete with trophies/achievements, just like the Anniversary and Advance Collections before them.

Well? Would you?

Lords of Shadow 3 is odd in so many ways.

“Eclipse of Sorrow” would’ve been fine if it was a DS handheldVania.
Would the second playthrough have been as good as DoS Julius Mode? No.
Would the final boss battle have been as good as PoR? No.
Would the overall game and replayability have been as good as OOE? No.
Nonetheless, it would have been nice to have a third Sorrow title to complete a tripartite arc, akin to Chaos’ first form.

I’m personally fine with not having it become a 3D/ 2.5D game, as they would have butchered it like they did those which ensued(with the exception of DXC).

This feels the same as when people say there will never be a good Berserk adaptation. Castlevania has a bit of perfect-game syndrome, where there are so many phenomenal entries in the franchise that anything subpar isn't just subpar, it's trash. It affects how drastically people see the flaws in the games that are still otherwise amazing, notably HoD, CotM, and the ps2 games.

I personally think a 1999 game would've been and still could be rad. Within the current timeline of Castlevania, it's the only point in the story that an entirely fresh game could exist.

Wonder if we'll ever see anything from the Lords of Shadow timeline again.

I don't Like that Trevor forgot his whip. I don't know really anything about the Dead by Daylight series, but I do know that Trevor Belmont would never forgot his whip. I'm sure it will still be fun though.

I hate to say it, but there is truth to this. Each person would have a different view of what it should've been, and it would be hard to please everyone. Not to mention what style would it be in and such.

Still better than the whole LoS saga, ah!

Thanks for the hearty laugh! I wasn't expecting that when I started reading this thread.
