It seems that CV may get it’s own stand alone collection announced?  If this pans out...how many games do you think we’ll get in it?

So the rumor about a multi platform Castlevania collection that we have heard last summer, turns out to be true.........i wonder what can we expect and if after this one the rumor about a new Castlevania game is going to be also true.....

I'll believe it when I see it.
I predict it'll have CV1 NES, CV1 MSX, CV1 X68k, and SCV running on emulators because at this point, if it doesn't have "Metal Gear Solid" in the title,  I expect nothing from Konami that isn't half-assed and with little effort put into it.

Yeah, I think they'd include as few games as they feel they could get away with. Konami doesn't seem interested in comprehensive collections and giving people a lot of bang for their buck.

Requiem leaked this way as well, we'll find out what this is in a week or two.

Keeping my expectations low, it will probably just be the first 4 games.

I guess to make me happy, it would have to include games I haven’t already gotten a download version of already.  As far as I know for the older mainstream titles, that would include Bloodlines, Haunted Castle, Belmont’s Revenge, and Legends.  If its a bunch of titles I already have there had better be some new features, ha.

ah, who am i kidding.  i’d probably buy it even if its completely redundant just so i can have them grouped in one place.  guess i can’t play many cv titles on my switch.

Ideally, if there was a master collection of Castlevania titles, I could see them arranged by date of release with the option to order them by the year they take place, with branches representing alternative versions of the account. Case in point:

1476
Castlevania III - Netflix synopsis - Pachislot 3 FMVs

1576
Adventure - Re:Birth - Belmont Legacy Motion Comic

1691
CV1 - VK - HC - SCV4 - Chronicles

1792
RoB - XX - DXC

At this point I expect this to be a port of requiem for xbox, switch, and pc.

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.

This is probably the best bet.

Knowing Konami, the sound will cut out every third measure.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.
