I already have all the DS games, but I'm excited about it having a remake of Haunted Castle. Though, I'm disappointed this one isn't on PS4, when the previous Castlevania collections had been. I guess that's just the direction things are going now, but it stings knowing that the Switch is weaker than the PS4, so there's no reason why it couldn't be on PS4.

Who knows why no PS4,it wouldn't take much to emulate those games for the console.I all ready have a PS5 and Switch for this generation so i got two ways to play to the collection.I passed on DS for the time since i lost interest for portables to me i didn't find playing video games on a small screen comfortable anymore.I will buy the castlevania dominus collection asap since i all ways hear praise for castlevania order of ecclesia.

The new Haunted Castle sure is a nice entry, maybe not worth the price of admission alone but it's definitely up there. I prefer a more linear Castlevania. There's been the Bloodstained spinoffs along with some similar 8-bit style linear games, but never a 16-bit or arcade one.

At the end of the day it might not actually be better than Rebirth but it definitely looks better.

I preferred Ecclesia over the other two entries for the same reason. IMO it's quite a bit more linear than those, with the map broke up in separate specific stages rather than one big gigantic castle to memorize. I wasn't sure how far I got in it so to refresh my memory I dug my DS out. I vaguely recall I had gotten to a point where I got a bad ending because I didn't rescue all the villagers. I didn't actually get into playing it but it shows me at slightly above 55% completion with 8+ hours played.

The last save file was also dated 2008. No wonder I barely remember anything about it because it was 16 friggin' years ago. Nothing like looking at old save file dates to make you feel old as dirt and contemplate your mortality.

Yeah no kidding...I fired up Pokemon Ranch the other day and it said: "We haven't seen you for 12 years" or something.

On the topic of this - how do they emulate the touch-screen aspect of these? With a mouse? If I recall you had to use the stylus to do things like draw seals and whatnot (for Order of Ecclesia); not sure if the others had much more than a mini-map.

In any case I don't remember it being bad, I thought it was pretty good from what I played.

At the risk of putting words in Calthaer's mouth I don't think he was implying that it was a bad game, just subjectively the worst of the handheld series. On its own it's an excellent game but just outshined by the others.
