"Haunted Castle: Actually playable for the very first time!" I remember putting a couple of quarters into it in the arcade as a kid and immediately thinking, "Oh F*** this..."
They did it. Finally did it. A Holy Trinity of Collections, complete. Edit: We can't forget the others, actually. We need a "3D Collection" for the remaining entries someday!
I'm so excited to play it! Looks like it'll feel and play much more like an NES or SNES Castlevania, which is just great! Reminds me of Adventure Rebirth on WiiWare.
The DS Castlevania games have such a special place in my heart, a huge part of my teenage years. No one I grew up with played the games besides me, but it's super cool to see how many people are still passionate about them years later!
Of course they announce this collection after I've already finished playing and beat all 3 Castlevania DS games yesterday on my 3ds because I was frustrated that Konami wouldn't port these game's.
Don't you just hate it when you finally decide to play and finish a game series only to find out they're getting a better version, am I right? I actually bought the Ace Attorney games that were on 3DS before the eshop closed, only to find out much later that they were getting remastered.
@@GenerationZ313 If by better you mean nostalgia bait then yes, you are right. Its nothing but glorified emulation. They didn't even bother to remove the touch screen controls that most people hated from Dawn of Sorrow. The only thing that has ANY value is the Haunted Castle remaster.
PSA on Portrait of Ruin: That cool feature where you can buy a birthday cake when your DS clock lines up with your birthday? They modified it a little; it's still technically in the game, but because you can't tell the Switch when your birthday is, the game will not know when it's your birthday. To make sure you could still get a cake, they changed how it worked. Wait till a Sunday, or adjust the system clock to make it Sunday, and the cake will be there. Happy Sunday! I have quite a few mixed emotions about it... all of them pretty good. I'm relieved the cake is still there, I'm amused they had to change that little aspect to get it to work, and I'm impressed that, like the dual and touch screen features, they found a way to make it work for the Switch. Guess the cake isn't a lie this time!
I cannot wait relive having Jonathan using Charlotte as springing board to jump higher, or the other way around. Mostly Jon using Char as the springboard.
@@whitewolf3051 I wonder if some of the jumpswitching exploits have been fixed, whether by chance or design, given how the touch integration has been modified. Some really fun sequence breaks were possible with stuff like touchscreen partner commands, the Knee Strike subweapon art, and creatively timing a switch of which character you're controlling.
I don't know why they didn't release SoTN on Nintendo Consoles, but SoTN is not exclusive, it got a Saturn release back in the day and a XBOX Live version as well. Komani should at least port the Requiem Colletion that they released on PS4 some years ago.
Order of Ecclesia's theme is so epic, it has that sense of horror in the music like a creature of the night is closing in on you in the darkness and no option left but to fight
I just hope Yuzo Koshiro's music is still in Portrait of Ruin, as when that soundtrack was finally made available worldwide on digital platforms, it was missing his music.
1:30 Is nobody gonna talk about they remaking Haunted Castle on the Adventure Rebirth Style? They could use the opportunity to give us Aventure Rebirth
I am so, SO incredibly happy. Not even a day ago I was lamenting how I really wished I could play these games on Switch, but I never believed it would happen. Now not only am I getting all three of them, TODAY, but also a new version of Haunted Castle, which is a game I always wanted to play but never got a chance to?! What an incredible day to be a Castlevania fan. I'm crying bloody tears right now. Please, PLEASE just give me SoTN, Adventure Rebirth, Rondo and Harmony of Despair now. Then I'll have all my favorite Castlevanias on one system.
Man I remember taking my three kids to the local mall game store when we lived in OK and buying each of them a DS and a "media player" add on so they could play games and watch movies on our trip back to visit family in CA. Dawn of Sorrow was one of the games we bought and my boys loved it. Still one of their favorite games in the series.
@@thatevanguy1480 have you played Rondo ? i played the Requiem collection last year and was blown away how great Rondo looks and plays. i think i might have enjoyed it more than SoTN tbh
@@Hypno_BPM I've played every castlevania. I've been a fan since the original gameboy. My favorites are SoTN, Dawn of Sorrow and the ps2 one, LOI. Rondo is fun but try DOS. has so many great weapons to collect.
@@thatevanguy1480 i definitely will. PoR was my first Castlevania game though i’ve been playing games since the NES i just overlooked CV for whatever reason. i didn’t have much money back in the DS days so i didn’t have many games for it and i always wanted to play the other CV games on it. Konami for all its faults has been giving us great collections of their 8-16 bit games and i’ve been enjoying the Contra and CV ones.
@@lalehiandeity1649ecclesia is great bro. Dare I say my favorite of the DA trilogy. They are all great in their own ways, but Ecclesia overall is just my favorite of the 3.
@@Kris-hw5ru I didn’t get into it because it felt so disconnected from the other DS games, everything from the art, to the tone, to the characters. Nowadays, I don’t feel compelled to care about it because of how isolated it is from the rest of the Castlevania chronology. I have an idea where they’d make a game centered around Quincey Morris, and Shanoa stands in for Van Helsing. She uses her brother’s research to track down Quincey, a strong descendant of the Belmont clan, and gives him the Vampire Killer. If there was another game that featured her in a key role like this, it would assign greater importance to her story in the series’ timeline.
All these collections from Konami and Capcom remind me of the good old days with the PlayStation 2 having all those collections. You had Capcom collections, Namco collections, SNK collections, Sega collections, Atari, Intellivision, Midway, Taito, ect.
This is an awesome collection at a great price! I've got all 3 of these on my DSi XL which I thought would always be the best way to experience them. This collection doesn't have compromised graphics like weird filtering or bad scaling, the music is clearly better quality AND an entire new game on top of it. Tons of quality of life. THIS IS HOW YOU DO A COLLECTION. I never buy these things day 1 and I'm buying this one instantly
Finally!!! I really hope they include the arranged versions of the music, since many of them were only heard in trailers and marketing material, so these are partially lost media. Very excited to play this over this weekend, thank you Konami!
@@FallenUmbra The version of SoTN included in Requiem is from the PSP Remake of Rondo of Blood so IIRC they have an exclusivity contract with Sony to keep it on Playstation, I don't know if they can even release the original anywhere else besides mobile phones and Playstation consoles either actually
So,for less that 60$ one can have the 8-16bit,gba,and ds games. Crazy. I hope alot of individuals can enjoy the ds games like I did in hs back then. Fun as fun can be.
1:51 It's funny how they edited the "Controller for Touch Controls" to just after the seal is drawn, telling us nothing on how the controls actually work.
I was wondering how they would implement that mechanic without a touch screen. The fact they didn’t explain it in detail might make me stick to the original as well. Good thing I have the original cartridges and the Action Replay carts as well.
It's probably done with the right stick. I think that's how it was done for the Megaman Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. Judging by the footage, I wouldn't be surprised if the seal minigame in Dawn of Sorrow now auto completes just like in the Julius Mode.
@@Mark-sd4hv Is that why both vtubers and youtubers here and on twitch still do speedruns and stream it? Are they crazy? It's because there's no comparison and a remake would be brutal.
HYPE!! Order Of Ecclesia is still one of my most favorite games of all time, and I've wanted to get my hands on the other DS games for a long time too.
OMG. This summer I have been playing all the Castlevania collection games for the first time and I was almost done. Then This Christmas gift just arrives. I’m SO HAPPY!!!
@@umbranex9274It only came for PlayStation, it would be sick to have a multiplatform release. But I guess Sony must have an exclusivity deal or something.
Ever since the Advance Collection came I have dreamed of this. All metroidvania Castlevanias have been now rereleased for modern consoles. Castlevania is slowly coming back and I am immensely hyped. And fixed Haunted Castle is something I would never have expected.
I was watching the actual Nintendo Direct when my husband texted me that there was a Dominus collection coming out...and I about screamed when I saw Order of Ecclesia as part of the set. That was by far one of my favorite Castlevania games, and Shanoa doesn't get enough love...I had the 3DS copy of the game for the longest time because I wasn't sure if they were going to feature her again (aside from Judgement [hated her outfit in that one], Harmony of Dissonance (that game on the Xbox years ago), and the Grimoire of Souls from the Apple Arcade. MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Portrait of Ruin is one of my favorite games of all time. Ive already lost count of how many times I've played through it over the past 3 weeks in both Jonathan and Richter modes.
@@autex2609nah me too dude, now we just wait for the 3d collection… I’ve played curse of darkness, platinum’d lords of shadow and got like halfway through LoS2. Completely overhated so i hope to see them get some love someday. They have their flaws but that’d be their chance to iron them out just a tiny bit.
Soma, Alucard, Julius, Yoko, Hammer, Jonathan, Charlotte, Sister Lecarde, Wind, Richter, Maria, Old Axe Armor (?), Shanoa, Albus, Barlow, Wigol Villagers I'm so happy to see them again!!!! I’m also really looking forward to the arranged music for Haunted Castle Revisted!
Yeah, that's the only part that could be a dealbreaker (for Dawn of Sorrow at least- and that's the one I want the most) because touchscreen controls controlled by controller sounds like the worst possible controls I can imagine- no way you can slowly move a cursor with the analogue stick to do stuff while playing the game.
@@Distoupia I started playing my favorite one, Order of Ecclesia, but it works the same for all the games with the Right Stick acting as a pointer to interact with the touch parts of the game. I've read a comment about having the option to use buttons for the seal drawing sections but I haven't check it by myself yet 🤔
@@Distoupia I'm not at my PC rn so I was looking at the Steam forums and people say that seals are quick time events now where you can use button sequences to draw the seals
OK, this is great, but Konami STILL hasn't released Symphony of the Night for a Nintendo console. Next step should be a collection of Symphony of the Night + the N64 Castlevanias.
@@tonberryhugs6435 You doubt it? The other two collections were released via Limited Run Games. Given that, i'd be more surprised if we DIDN'T get a physical release of this as well.
Wow, that’s pretty cool I remember buying all three of them at GameStop each costing 20$ each, and I would say portrait of ruin in my favorite because of the game modes it offered like sisters mode, Richter mode and Axe armor mode although I loved Ecclesia as well because it’s art style and remembering that Blackmore boss destroying me
@@setsers1 Eh, technically not new content. Still, 25 bucks for four games where three of them are really expensive in the second hand market is pretty nice.
@@setsers1 honestly I'm happy they released these collection but I already played them all on emu, and won't be truly satisfied until they resurrect this franchise and give us new titles (and they better be made in 3D style, 2D doesnt cut it anymore)

Yessir I played all those ds games love them
Castlevania*
@@Kimarnic>implying metroidvania fans were not waiting for this
@@KimarnicPeople that enjoy non-linear 2D platformers with rpg elements will enjoy this*
@@niclaswa5408nah, Metroid is Metroid but Castlevania is a metroidvania
Something the world is not ready for is the arrival of Symphony of the Night in HD or remake, but that dream will remain dormant for many more years.
It's not even that good of a game. It's been surpassed but people's nostalgia for it holds it up to be the greatest thing
@@Mark-sd4hvExcuse me. But I disagree. SotN is an darn good game and still is.
@@Mark-sd4hvnostalgia is an excuse when people can’t argue. Sorry but SOTN is still the best Castlevania. And easy.
@@Mark-sd4hv Is that why both vtubers and youtubers here and on twitch still do speedruns and stream it? Are they crazy? It's because there's no comparison and a remake would be brutal.
@@Mark-sd4hv it's the best Castlevania game. I didn't even have it when I was younger, no nostalgia, it is just the peak of 2D Castlevania.
HYPE!! Order Of Ecclesia is still one of my most favorite games of all time, and I've wanted to get my hands on the other DS games for a long time too.
OMG. This summer I have been playing all the Castlevania collection games for the first time and I was almost done. Then This Christmas gift just arrives. I’m SO HAPPY!!!
Everyone doubted it would happen, BUT HERE IT IS!
Absolutely insane that SotN, the most popular and iconic game in the series, has yet to be rereleased.
Like beyond the Castlevania Requiem release that bundled SotN and Rondo of Blood? That came out in 2018.
@@umbranex9274It only came for PlayStation, it would be sick to have a multiplatform release. But I guess Sony must have an exclusivity deal or something.
Released on psp and ps4 only but yes a switch version would be great !!!
It's on android
Ever since the Advance Collection came I have dreamed of this. All metroidvania Castlevanias have been now rereleased for modern consoles. Castlevania is slowly coming back and I am immensely hyped.
And fixed Haunted Castle is something I would never have expected.
I thought we were still waiting for a sotn remake?
Sotn is only available on ps4 for some reason, alongside rondo of blood
@@SweetOmwf
It came for PS4. But yes, I would very much like for it to be on Switch.
@@Impori23 Xbox as well because of its retrocompatibility (Xbox 360 got a port from the ps1 version)
@@Ninjaananasthat wasn't a remake of sotn
LETS GO YALL.
Order of Ecclesia was my first Castlevania and it's still one of my favorites, all the DS games are so good!
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG, WE WON, BOYS!
Portrait of ruin have some of the Best ost in all Castlevania universe.
The covers of PoR that The Noble Demon made are so good. I have them on my regular playlist.
Omg. I can finally play Order of Ecclasia with out piracy or spending $150 for a used copy! I can’t wait!
I personally used an r4 with a ds lite
COME ON KONAMI. GIVE US HARMONY OF DESPAIR NOW PLEASE.
I was watching the actual Nintendo Direct when my husband texted me that there was a Dominus collection coming out...and I about screamed when I saw Order of Ecclesia as part of the set. That was by far one of my favorite Castlevania games, and Shanoa doesn't get enough love...I had the 3DS copy of the game for the longest time because I wasn't sure if they were going to feature her again (aside from Judgement [hated her outfit in that one], Harmony of Dissonance (that game on the Xbox years ago), and the Grimoire of Souls from the Apple Arcade.
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Now we just missing a 3D Collection with Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innoncence and Curse of Darkness. And possibly a Lords of Shadow Collection.
I can't believe they actually did it!
Never gonna happen on switch lol it can barely run 2d games let alone ps2 games
@@yeahtbh.161 unfortunately, that's a pretty good point
bullshit@@yeahtbh.161
I think it's both wild and random that they decided to not only include the Original Haunted Castle, but also remaster it.
Konami Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection has the original Haunted Castle. Its already available on the Nintendo Switch.
I am so happy right NOW!!!
This just saved me several hundred dollars in expensive ds games.
Portrait of Ruin is one of my favorite games of all time. Ive already lost count of how many times I've played through it over the past 3 weeks in both Jonathan and Richter modes.
What we need is a rondo of blood/symphony of the night on switch
I am very pleased about this but it’s so weird that they will never put Symphony of the Night or Rondo of Blood on Switch
It's the only reason I buy these collections on ps4. I like the idea of having all of them on one console.. because I'm weird like that.
@@autex2609nah me too dude, now we just wait for the 3d collection… I’ve played curse of darkness, platinum’d lords of shadow and got like halfway through LoS2. Completely overhated so i hope to see them get some love someday. They have their flaws but that’d be their chance to iron them out just a tiny bit.
@@johnboy5929 Heck yeah. They are still playable and if they gave them a bit of extra shine I would be thrilled too.
Dracula X on the advance collection is the closest you'll get
@@autex2609hey, nothing wrong with being weird like that. I double dip because of that! 😉
Soma, Alucard, Julius, Yoko, Hammer, Jonathan, Charlotte, Sister Lecarde, Wind, Richter, Maria, Old Axe Armor (?), Shanoa, Albus, Barlow, Wigol Villagers
I'm so happy to see them again!!!!
I’m also really looking forward to the arranged music for Haunted Castle Revisted!
I HATE Castlevania Dominus Collection
I HATE Castlevania
I HATE Castlevania Series
I HATE Metroidvania
I HATE Konami
I HATE KONAMI
You forgot Loretta and Stella.
@@pooky-bellegaming4089 Good point but, sister lecarde means them
Nintendo Forever ❤
Portrait of Ruin was my first Castlevania that I bought on a whim as a kid. I've loved the series ever since, I would love a new 2d Castlevania
so glad castlevania has been seeing a resurgence lately
Castlevania lives on baby!!
An actual Castlevania collection, lets go
Castlevania 64 on NSO would be the cherry on top
A Remake in 3D made by Retro Studio. I'm sure that game would be a greatest exponent on the Switch Catalog.
Now all we need is Symphony of the Night and I’ll have all the good Castlvania games on my Switch.❤
These are some of the best Castlevania games in the series, glad they're finally getting re-released!
YES!
YES!
YES!
0:50 Oh someone cut the Zinogre in half
Lmao yeah I thought that too. I guess that's what happens when you tail carve Zin and don't kill him 😅
it is going to be interesting to see how they changed the touchscreen stuff...
The only questionable part is the Magic Seal.
Well just watch the video lol
@@unknown95140 It doesn’t give any specifics from what I saw.
Yeah, that's the only part that could be a dealbreaker (for Dawn of Sorrow at least- and that's the one I want the most) because touchscreen controls controlled by controller sounds like the worst possible controls I can imagine- no way you can slowly move a cursor with the analogue stick to do stuff while playing the game.
Dawn of Sorrow holds a special place in my heart I’m so happy it’s back
Only Castlevania game missing from the Switch now is Symphony of the Night.
AHHHH! THANK YOOU!❤❤❤
2:30 "Available NOW". Is not at the Nintendo Store yet...
Where is the Collection Nintendo? I want it NOW!
Store hasn't updated for the day yet. Chill.
@@AmanojakuX Too late my friend. I already purchased it on Steam. LET'S GO!
@@InariOkami How it works?, had you tried doing the seal?
@@Distoupia I started playing my favorite one, Order of Ecclesia, but it works the same for all the games with the Right Stick acting as a pointer to interact with the touch parts of the game.
I've read a comment about having the option to use buttons for the seal drawing sections but I haven't check it by myself yet 🤔
@@Distoupia I'm not at my PC rn so I was looking at the Steam forums and people say that seals are quick time events now where you can use button sequences to draw the seals
OK, this is great, but Konami STILL hasn't released Symphony of the Night for a Nintendo console.
Next step should be a collection of Symphony of the Night + the N64 Castlevanias.
Anything is possible at this point. Many people thought we would never get Super Mario RPG on the Switch, but we ended up with a remake.
Finally, I can enjoy Chuck No- I mean Julius Belmont's 16-bit glory on my TV, who would've guessed
Julius is just IGA with a leopard print coat
Man, I'd kill for a Symphony of the Night port.
I lost my copy of Dawn of Sorrow a few years back. it was one of my favourite games from when I was a kid. This trailer made me so happy
I just want Symphony of the Night
PHYSICAL RELEASE FOR THE MOTHER OF DRACULA!
I sure hope so...but also doubt it. Not seeing anything online.
Wait Limited Run games will do it again.
@@tonberryhugs6435 Wait Limited Run games
@@tonberryhugs6435 You doubt it? The other two collections were released via Limited Run Games. Given that, i'd be more surprised if we DIDN'T get a physical release of this as well.
Was limited run games the only way to get a physical version of the advance collection?@@franciscobutte
Best of the best metroidvania games Castlevania
Wow, that’s pretty cool I remember buying all three of them at GameStop each costing 20$ each, and I would say portrait of ruin in my favorite because of the game modes it offered like sisters mode, Richter mode and Axe armor mode although I loved Ecclesia as well because it’s art style and remembering that Blackmore boss destroying me
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT!
Now it’s time for the Dominus saga.
Let's just be happy we're getting new Castlevania content.
@@setsers1 Eh, technically not new content. Still, 25 bucks for four games where three of them are really expensive in the second hand market is pretty nice.
@@setsers1 honestly I'm happy they released these collection but I already played them all on emu, and won't be truly satisfied until they resurrect this franchise and give us new titles (and they better be made in 3D style, 2D doesnt cut it anymore)
@@wallacesousuke1433 if you want them to resurrect this franchise you need to give them money. What's the point on playing on emulator? that doesn't mean you are supporting the franchise directly
