Think about it. Most movie series that were popular back then as well as the occasional video game are getting box sets to have them all right there.
Now, Castlevania has a LOT of games. Some games people don't even have access to most of them. Wouldn't it just be extremely convenient to buy a sort of "box collection"?
Like, all the games right there so that you can pop them in and play, maybe done in 4 or 5 discs, with Disc 1 being all the 8-Bit Castlevanias plus Vampire Killer and Haunted Castle and the handheld 8-Bit games, Disc 2 being the SNES games, Bloodlines, the GBA and DS games, Disc 3 being the two N64 Castlevanias and Castlevania Chronicles and Dracula X Chronicles, and Disc 4 being the two PS2 Castlevanias (If it's possible to fit them into one disc, otherwise have them each on two discs).
Think about it, this would possibly be the most convenient collection ever for Castlevania gaming. It would probably do well to sell such a box set for the Playstation 3 or PC since the PS3 has Blu-Ray and can possibly fit the larger games into one one disc and everything else into one disc, or PC since computers pretty much outlast everything and you never need to worry about buying new consoles or anything.
An entire set like this would most likely be a smarter idea than just re-releasing one, two, or three games at a time in the Chronicles series.
I would definitely buy this. The only downside is that this would probably be expensive as hell.
-
I'd totally buy something like this, even though I own just about all the games.
-
Such a gift would only be available in Japan anyway. Still, I'd most definitely import it!
-
I'd do it!

TOTALLY A WORTHY BUY.
And have it on the Wii; else you'd have to remove the DS games.
-
I would prefer that they just release all the past Castlevanias on Wii VC, XBLA and PSN. That way you can buy the ones you want for $5-$10 each without having to spend a ton of money on a box set that includes games you may not want, or that you may already own. I would not want to spend $100+ dollars just so I could play Dracula's Curse and Rondo of Blood, while the discs containing the PS2 games sat collecting dust.
-

Why would the DS games have to be removed?
-
I'll buy it anytime!!
-
I'd buy it. I also bought the CV Douple Pack (HoD + AoS on one Module)... mostly because it was still less expensive than AoS alone.
-
Why would the DS games have to be removed?
I think it has something to do with the fact that Dawn of Sorrow relies heavily on use of touchscreen with the ice blocks and seals and such, and Portrait of Ruin requires use of the touchscreen for various things as well. Order of Ecclesia doesn't really use the touchscreen except for like one thing, and even that one can be avoided completely.
But I'm sure there could be a way around that if the DS games are included in such a thing as a box set.
-
Hells yeah, I'd buy a box set. It's Castlevania!
Even though I own pretty much every game now, excluding Vampire Killer (MSX), the Kid Draculas, and Haunted Castle. (I'll buy Judgment when it's budget priced.)
-
Konami hasn't done anything like this in all this time, why would they now?
The closest things are: CVs 1-3 on PC; HoD/AoS double pack; and DXC.
Konami has claimed problems with legal mumbo jumbo barring the way to such a collection. You know, IGA says he wants to, but that he can't.
.... Then again... he said the same thing about bringing Rondo over....

Still, If Iga could manage to convince the higher ups at Konami that such a collection would be a worthy investment, they'd probably do it.
*totters off to make an online petition*
-
Going by the interviews, he doesn't seem to be all that good at persuading the higher-ups. A shame.
-

nah, it's so big here it would be stupid of konami of america not to bring it over. Capcom did that for megaman and megaman X and those both sold well.
-
Yes Konami needs to pay more attention to what Capcom is doing, because they've got the bigger balls in this case.
-
Such a collection would be plagued with emulation errors, I'm sure. I doubt the programmers would do anything more than a half-ass job.
Besides, that's a lot of needless discs. You could easily fit most of the games in the series on one DVD--all of them excluding the PS2 games. If it were released for PS3, ALL of them could be released on one Blu-ray Disc, including the PS2 games. Heck, it wouldn't even have to be a dual-layer disc, since 25 gigs would be plenty, with tons of room to spare for all sorts of extras.

They could always make it a downloadable deal like megaman 9 too, would save them lots of money that way as well.
-
Wouldn't be a good deal for us as consumers, though, since we'd likely have to pay for each individual title. $5-10 times how many games? Yeesh.
-

Yeah it'd really depend on how they market it. If they choose to go that route it would blow ass bigtime.
-
With how video games are worth these days I doubt it'll just all go for that much money each. The entire collection of NES, the Genesis game, and SNES games alone would probably only be worth $10 or so in itself. Maybe a bit more, but $10+ a game is a little much. Maybe for the later games, sure, but not the early games.
-
Resident evil came out with a Triple pack with Resident evil 4,Code veronica and outbreak. they should do a Castlevania one
-
I would be happy with CV3 and rondo on wii vc. I mean, WTF, Japan has Rondo, Europe has cv3, and where is bloodlines for that matter? I think it would also be smart if they made the 1999 story retro, like mega man 9.
-

It wouldn't be smart, it would be very silly, very disappointing, and one of the worst moves the team would make.

Why? You would rather another one of the seemingloy endless castleroids that have long since lost their inspiration?
There is nothing silly about it, so long as they could actually pull off a good game like that. Disappointing, probably, I doubt they could pull it off. And the worst move? Have you played Judgement yet?

A 3D game would be appropriate for the 1999 event. IGA would need a new director for that to work, though(since the current one seems to lack any sense of creativity whatsoever). And Judgment was not the worst move. The hate for the game is getting pretty annoying(not because it's being hated, but the way people bash it).
-
I am all for another 8-bit Castlevania, but I don't want to see the 1999 story done in 8-Bit. I'd rather see that in 3-D than anything else. While I don't think 3D graphics mean anything in how fun the game is, if you want to get across a serious and important event, detailed 3D graphics would be the way to go.
they should save the 8-Bit for another side project, and they should make it happen soon

Agreed, I'm actually enjoying that game. Harmony of Dissonance is the worst move that team has made!

an epic series culmination deserves more than outdated looks and gameplay that ends after like 30 minutes.
a retro game would work more for a sidestory of some sort, a game that has no real impact on the overall thing, not the final episode of a 1000 year old war of dracula and the belmont clan.
it would only greatly hurt the series.
to compare, imagine how much disappointment would there be if some sort of epic storyline with great cg effects, direction and casting would have its final episode done in hanna barbera cartoon style, or switched to uwe boll/anderson or some of the other shitty directors. :o
-

HoD is no where near being the worst move. What's with the hate for that game? It's part of the insane standards most people here have. "HoD sucks 'cause it's easy HURR HURR HURR!"
-
I can see how the story element might not fit as well, but the arc with a Belmont would fit the style of gameplay. I also think the story could be told 8 bit or 16 bit, and be done very well. Even if not 8 or 16 bit, just very well made HD srpites in a classic gameplay style.
As far as Judgement, I think you almost have to be a Castlevania fan to like it, or to excuse it even. At least it doesn't appeal to hardcore fighting gamers. I really think it was a bad move as it tarnishes the image of the series. I played it and enjoyed it for about five minutes, but it is of pretty low quality IMO.
I like HoD :'(

You're exaggerating. I'm a hardcore fighting gamer and I like it. You also don't need to be a fan of the series to "even excuse it". It also doesn't do anything to the image of the series. The fact that people take a simple spin-off so seriously is very annoying.
-
It is the first nex-gen Castlevania title on a major console, it does tarnish the image and should be taken seriously. Perhaps a simple spin-off, but it's still a full-price title. I am hardcore fighting fan also, and I am pretty sure the game will never be part of any major tournament. There are a ton of valid criticisms, all of which add up to a pretty poor game. I am sorry if that annoys you, and good for you if you dig it, but it just doesn't work as a high quality fighting game.
But in any case, I think I sort of drove the thread off topic. I would buy a compilation, but I would rather have CV3 on wii vc atm.
-

It's not meant to be a high quality fighting game. And again, there's no reason to take it seriously. Sure it may be the first and probably only CV on a current-gen(not next-gen) console, but it's simply a spin-off that IGA didn't even want to make. He's also never done something like this before, so it's excusable if only for that.
-
Perhaps not meant as a "real" fighting game, but still not even good as a Dead or Alive type "general population" fighting game. It just seems to me to be a money gimmick. Like you said, if Iga did not want tot make it, and did not know how to make it, then Konami was just drilling for dollars, and to me that hurts the image of the series. I dunno, it's like an insult. I take it too personally I guess.
-

Well, it's not that I think HoD is too easy.
I just don't care for the plot, the characters or really anything else in the game.
I hate the sprites, they look awful. That glow around Juste is annoying. The music in that game is nothing to remember. I don't like the split castle thing being used again, so soon.
-

It gets to be a pain in the ass, and I just don't like the design of the castle itself, so map completion is more of a hassle than anything else.
The sprites are the best out of the GBA games. Sure the character sprites may be awful, but the enemies and areas are gorgeous. The glow around Juste is so you can have a better time seeing him rather than having to squint nearly all the time. The music is some of the best composed in the series. It's very annoying when people call music bad simply because it isn't extremely catchy. The split castle isn't reused in the game. Castle A and Castle B work like the light and dark worlds in Alttp. Also, map completion should be the least of your worries in any game. In fact, you shouldn't even care about it.
You're just another one of those people who aren't open-minded enough to actually understand the game.
So what would you say is the worst move then?
CoD and PoR.
-
You really think CoD is worse than Judgment? I guess I can kind of see that it was supposed to be a big title in the series, but I would argue that the quality of the game is still slightly better than Judgment.
I think the sprites in Harmony worked well for the original gameboy, probably a reaction to complaints about CotM being too dark.
PoR was cool, after you beat it and played on Richter mode.
T

His or her not liking HoD has nothing to do with him being open minded. Perhaps you are not open minded enough to objectively evaluate other people's criticisms of the game.

Why Cod?, iga went back to castlevanias roots for that one. All the explorable environments upgrades, innocent devils. Hidden areas especially that hidden satanic tower. All culminating towards the final raid on the castle of dracula and the lord of darkness destruction.

All culminating towards the final raid on the castle of dracula and the lord of darkness destruction. I think that one is actually one of the best castlevania games since SOTN was released. Sure it has it's flaws like Richter being impaled not making sense and it should have shown him in the ending as well, but it was a fun romp and the gameplay is spot on. I honestly don't understand all the hate towards this one. LOI was way worse of a game than COD.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. What makes CoD good and so much better than LoI? CoD was crap. Nothing could cover up for its crap enemies, UBER COPY/PASTE OLOLOL, and very slow movement. At least LoI makes up for having better level design and much, much, much better combat. Leon also doesn't run at the speed of a turtle with weights.
EDIT: I can't believe I ignored this sentence.

Wait a damn second! You're calling me close minded because I don't agree with what you think!? I very very rarely bitch about any of the games in the series, usually I'm one of the people to bitch about the people who complain too much about the flaws in these games. I know the series isn't perfect, but I am always acceptable of the games and satisfied with the end results.
Because I disagree with your oopinion does not make me close minded. I could say the very same thing about how you feel about CoD and PoR, but I'm not an trolling dick. You think this because I feel a game you like is the weakest in the series? Every single topic here you find some way to make it sound like you're right and everyone else is wrong because they disagree with you. Get off your damn high horse.
-

A spinoff fighter, that is completely non-canon (save for possibly Aeon) has tarnished the series image.
wut?
For starters, it isn't all that bad. Practically everyone I know who went in with horrible expectations said that it way exceeded their expectations. Some reviewers are hailing it, others are smashing it (in frankly embarassing reviews, go read 1ups, its good for a laugh). Some reviewers, professional reviewers, are saying its gameplay mechanics are deeper than Brawls, but the game itself needs work. I agree.
The game has all the potential for a fantastic fighter. The mechanics are there, the stages show potential, but all thats missing is time. As usual, the game was rushed, and its obvious when you play through story and castle mode, and not even 8ing can make a deep fighter on a short schedule.
And it was never meant to be a hardcore title, if anything, it was built for casual fighting fans, its a great pick up and play game.
-
I'd say Judgment was a good shot at making a CV fighting game. I think it could use some improvements but thats what sequels are for.
The only thing that really bothers me is some of the character designs, but I can ignore that this time around.
But the game is fun, engaging, and easy to pick up and play so in that respect I think it was successful.
I can see how it may not be for everyone, even fans of the series, but some of those reviews I can't understand at all, especially the EGM/1Up ones

um, yeah just yeah, This is exactly the response I expected. Are you gonna give me a valid response or just keep stating that the game sucks just for the mere fact that other people say it does? The games feels like CV3 with all the outside environments, character interaction and buddy system. That's what I meant by that line that you seem to find funny for some reason. I will no longer respond to blatant fanboyism. If you think LOI is better explain, give me an intelligent well thought out opinion not yelling at me that I'm wrong and your right. That's no way to argue your point if you want to convince anybody of anything.

Ok, you think it's better. That's fine. I just think that it's ludicrous to say that the quality of CoD is better than Judgment's.
-

Let's analyze it shall we?
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. What makes CoD good and so much better than LoI? CoD was crap.
Fanboyism, you like LOI better that's your opinion and your entitled to it. Please intelligently respond to my posts with valid evidence/points to back up what your'e saying.
Nothing could cover up for its crap enemies, UBER COPY/PASTE OLOLOL,
so that's never been done before? The nes castlevanias did that and so did sonic, lots of games do this, this doesn't make the game bad if developers like certain sprites so much they include them in other games. It's a very common practice.
and very slow movement
I didn't see any of this very slow movement you speak of unless you mean certain innocent devils then I agree. But this hardly makes the game "crap" as you put it.
At least LoI makes up for having better level design and much, much, much better combat.
Much better combat? that's all up for opinion personally I hated how every enemy took 50 hits with the best whip in the game. And the level design in LOI I find unthought out and very repetitive at times with many rooms being identical to others. The overall graphical presentation is more thought out and polished but more polished graphics don't make a better game in and of itself.
Leon also doesn't run at the speed of a turtle with weights.[
Neither does hector they both run at pretty near the same speed actually. I don't know if your game is messed up or something but I never had any speed issues unless that's a problem with the xbox version which I've never played.
One more thing that wasn't mentioned that I feel really hurt LOI was no Dracula fight. The fight in COD is one of the hardest ever if you don't grind like crazy and very fluid,creative and innovative.
-

Nice job just picking that out even though I put much more than that. You even responded to all of it afterwards!

Um...what? I said "crap enemies and UBER COPY/PASTE OLOLOL". The enemies are less of a threat as they are in LoI, and the level design consists of nothing but bland repetitive corridors.
I didn't see any of this very slow movement you speak of unless you mean certain innocent devils then I agree. But this hardly makes the game "crap" as you put it.
Everyone complains about Hector and Trevor's speed. They're very slow.

50 hits? That's a huge exaggeration. But then again, you probably didn't even bother to take advantage of multiple combos and such, but even so, it shouldn't be a problem. The game's system of upgrades and such is also nice, since it's much better than leveling up. It's also very hypocritical to be complaining about LoI's level design while CoD's is much, much worse(You actually have a use for the jump in LoI, for starters).
Neither does hector they both run at pretty near the same speed actually. I don't know if your game is messed up or something but I never had any speed issues unless that's a problem with the xbox version which I've never played.
Hector is slow. Then again, it's probably just an illusion made by the huge bland corridors.

This is a very silly complaint. Mathias turned into a vampire and disappeared while Death was left to fight you.
-
Nice job just picking that out even though I put much more than that. You even responded to all of it afterwards!
that was how your post came off, you picked out a few minor things after stating the game was complete shit. If you like LOI more I don't really care, but don't just go stating minor crap and calling the whole game shit.
50 hits? That's a huge exaggeration.
no it's not and i know all about the combos I've beat the game at level 99 and have put a lot of my own time and effort into beating it. some of the enemies take way too long to kill, it gets repetetive and boring.
Um...what? I said "crap enemies and UBER COPY/PASTE OLOLOL". The enemies are less of a threat as they are in LoI, and the level design consists of nothing but bland repetitive corridors.
that's up for debate the same can be argued with LOI, COD had a ton more locations than just 6 and a much fuller, more upbeat soundtrack that you can listen to outside of the game.
This is a very silly complaint. Mathias turned into a vampire and disappeared while Death was left to fight you.
exactly I don't like that aspect of the plot, mathias was a coward. And it's not silly to want to fight the lord of darkness when he's part of the main story of the game.
But I'm done arguing, I honestly don't care what games you like the best. Please don't go throwing your opinion around though like it's the only opinion that matters.
-

Uh...level 99? You realize that you don't even level up in that game, don't you? Have you even played the game? If you have, then it was probably only two areas at most. Enemies also don't take that long to kill. You must be very slow at the game(if you've even played it, that is). Even so, you don't have to fight all enemies.
that's up for debate the same can be argued with LOI, COD had a ton more locations than just 6 and a much fuller, more upbeat soundtrack that you can listen to outside of the game.
More locations aren't worth it when they're exactly the same as every other area in the game. All it does is make the game much more tedious. Also, ubeat music ≠ better music.
exactly I don't like that aspect of the plot, mathias was a coward. And it's not silly to want to fight the lord of darkness when he's part of the main story of the game.
It should be excusable when you know why you can't fight him.
-
Uh...level 99? You realize that you don't even level up in that game, don't you? Have you even played the game? If you have, then it was probably only two areas at most.
don't insult me I've played ever castlevania game to the ground, the innocent devils do level up and that is what I was talking about, I've gotten everyone of them to level 99. If you didn't know that fact then it is you who appears to not have played the game. And I would never form an opinion about any game let alone a castlevania game if I haven't finished it. (unless it is poorly programed and unplayable)
Enemies also don't take that long to kill. You must be very slow at the game(if you've even played it, that is). Even so, you don't have to fight all enemies.
And what are you talking about? Have you played LOI? Some of the enemies take a crapload of time to kill even with the best whip, especially that 3 phase boss fight. Don't call me a Liar I don't appreciate nor do I tolerate it.

this would just shit on cv3, which estabilished it was the first time ever that a belmont fought against dracula. legends tried to undermine that and look what it got for that blatant cv3 ignorance. if iga were to do that now, imagine the shitstorm in the cv communities.
iga: buy my games prs ;D
rabid legends fanboy #12892312: "wtf, iga you fat fuck, first you ban legends from your perfect timeline because it disregards everything cv3 estabilished and now you do the same?"

I thought Judgment and Curse of Darkness were both poorly executed. The low budgets of the game are obvious when you are playing them. That said, I don't think Lament of Innocence was that much better than CoD. I think the biggest negative of CoD is that it did not fix the flaws of LoI and improve upon them.
But I think everyone is entitled to their opinion. Its totally fine for someone to think CoD was better than LoI, or vice versa. There is no right or wrong answers to the question "what is your favorite and least favorite Castlevanias?" I don't understand why some people take offense and start arguing because someone else posts an opinion they don't agree with. In my opinion, the N64 games were better than LoI, CoD and Judgment. You can agree or disagree, but its my opinion, you don't need to start a debate over it.

If you didn't know that fact then it is you who appears to not have played the game. And I would never form an opinion about any game let alone a castlevania game if I haven't finished it. (unless it is poorly programed and unplayable)
What? You weren't even talking about leveling up the Innocent Devils. You said that it took you a crapload of time to kill the enemies in LoI even at level 99, even though LoI has no level-up system.
And what are you talking about? Have you played LOI? Some of the enemies take a crapload of time to kill even with the best whip, especially that 3 phase boss fight. Don't call me a Liar I don't appreciate nor do I tolerate it.
Sure it takes a ton of time. In every Castlevania. It takes at least 50 hits...to kill a zombie.

completely agree here, it's the unintelligent fanboyish responses that get me.
Then I suggest leaving this place.
You sure like to jump to conclusions.
I also love how you call my opinions invalid simply because I disagree with you. They're perfectly valid. It's ok if you like CoD, but you've been giving terrible reasons.

I was thinking faster than I was typing, I meant I know all the combos in LOI and have beat COD at level 99. Just pointing out that I have played both games through. Then I continue talking about LOI.

You want me to leave, why, because it's hard for you to participate in valid discussions? It's gonna be rough for you to stay on any type of message board bro. The people on the starwars message board would have picked apart what you said alot more than I did. People are different. You posted nit picky things about COD and called the whole game shit. When I tried to get you to elaborate more you kept giving me the same old telling me the game was a complete pile of shit basically because you say it is. I actually go to forums to take part in relevant discussions not to arrogantly pass of my opinion as the correct one. I don't really care what games you like and don't but arrogance is a most unwise course to take when forming a rebuttal. I don't dislike you or anything hell it's just one dicussion, I just think toning down the arrogance would be a wise course of action.
Anyway let's get back to topic I respect your opinion even though i disagree with it. We should get back to talking about the box set.

I wasn't being arrogant.

If Konami DID make such a set I would definitely buy it, assuming I had the money. For me, Portability is a big factor. A box set of discs would be a LOT easier than dragging each individual game, plus it would be easier to keep. :)

The quality would need to be good for a compilation. I have found the control to be very good on the wii vc games. I would just hope a compilation would be well done and not sloppy, like some of the sega compilations on ps2.

Yeah the sonic one was stupid. You gotta enter and exit every game they give you from the get go fiddy times each to unlock them, so dumb. It's just a ginormous waste of time. I mean honestly, why not just give us all the games from the get go or make them available as we subsequently finish them?
