Castlevania Dominus Collection Lands New Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Boss Ruse Mode, where they only pretend to fight you.

Good to see this collection getting some loves. I assume the last collection is gonna be 3D. 64/Legacy, Lament, and Curse. I guess you could do Lords but all of those games are already on Steam, maybe just a bundle on Switch would surface with each game available separately.

included on cart? I think not!

A yes nice details... im sorry but i would like to see what bugs was fixed

@smolsauce

Well that would be neat but a Symphony Rondo collection is long overdue. With Adventure Rebirth as a bonus game and we have a winner.

I had great fun with Order and planning a Portrait playthrough in the near future

@mlt Adventure Rebirth should be a part of a Rebirth collection, if they put it in a Castlevania collection as a bonus then Contra Rebirth and Gradius Rebirth will have zero chance of a rerelease because they're not going to do another Contra collection and Gradius collection also seems unlikely, rereleasing them separately is also unlikely

I don't suppose the new display options include allowing the main gameplay screen to fully fill the screen while having the map be separate and accessible with the press of a button?

That would be the best option so the map doesn't have to take up part of the screen.

@Pipulitoch cart is by LimitedRun, they don’t care about gamers so patch won’t be on cart.

@smolsauce This. This would be wonderful. Granted, I already effectively have 3 of the 4 games, but it'd still be nice.

@mlt This is almost certain to not happen unfortunately. Apparently, Sony themselves took part in getting the rondo and SotN games onto more modern platforms. To an extent, they have the right to deny a possible collection to others if true.

@Truegamer79 I am sure they are not gonna spend money doing that. Ya, I don’t like all the the display options at all, none of them are good.

Nice they're adding more to it. Still not going to bite on this one though, they're so perfectly playable and ideal on the original hardware. If it had Adventure Rebirth they would have probably gotten me.

@koekiemonster yep. All they care about is selling trinkets to trick people into thinking they're preserving game history or making an investment in a collection that will buy a house someday.

@koekiemonster more or less, what I just said

@Mariotag Worst-case scenario, I think this only applies to the Dracula X Chronicles (specifically the 3D remake of Rondo and the redub of SotN).

When do we start getting the Goemon and Gradius/Parodius collections?

@mlt you did them out of order.

@Kobeskillz
I've played them all already they're my favorite games in one of my all time favorite franchise. It's up there next to DK, Zelda, Metroid, Xenoblade and the King big M himself. Heck I've got my three DS copies sitting right there on my shelf!

@Mariotag
It's a little unfair honestly that symphony gets to be on so many different consoles but not a single Nintendo platform.

I mean at least we have Rondo on the WiiU!

@Pipulitoch Nowadays, almost no game contains the updates on the cartridge.

@mlt Wii, and it was only the JP release. No English text or voice acting.

Coooool! Thanks Konami.👍

@smolsauce I'd buy that. I've never played the 3D titles. There's also a couple of other games we still haven't got yet too. Like Rondo, Symphony, and Adventure Rebirth. I'd like to see Legends get a remake.

Sure would be nice to have these updates on LRG’s carts. Just sayin’… 🤷🏻‍♀️

People are going to be furious if this patch doesn't end up on the carts by LRG, but I wouldn't put it past them not doing it.

@BrazillianCara I think the redub is basically all current gen versions too?
And, I still need to finish the Wii VC version of Rondo to find out if that even had an English dub.
@mlt True, but, that's sometimes the way of things. Also, are you an alternate me? (I don't want to explain here, but that username is closely tied to me.)

Just so y'all know, it's not version 1.0.3, it's actually version 1.3.0 (as evidence by this screenshot I took of the game). Either Konami put up the wrong number on the game or they put up the wrong number on both their tweet and website.

@Mariotag For what it's worth, the original version of SotN is available on Xbox, so there's that.

@Mariotag The Wii VC version doesn't have English voice-acting.

Holding off until my Limited Run copy comes in February. Hope it includes these updates on the cartridge!

LRG no longer cares because impatient customers have been badgering them since their inception, favouring quicker turnarounds over the best possible product.

Both sides are to blame.

Sure, I'm now getting my games in about 3-4 months as opposed to waiting approximately a year (sometimes just a smidge longer), but at what cost?

@SillyG Poor Limited Run Games. People are soooo mean!

@MirrorFate2 Ahh.
And the OG SotN is on Xbox? Not sure which incarnation of Xbox, but at least it's something.

Symphony of the Night, where are you my love?

@John_Deacon it was recently discounted in UK/Europe in late October from £19.99 - £15.99. I'm sure it will be on sale again soon

@John_Deacon
Ah. And it was the OG.
I do have a ps3, and I got it there, just to see the differences from the PSP version.

Did anyone find Order of Ecclesia difficult compared to the other DS and GBA castlevania games? Grind to level 14 and still can’t beat the giant skeleton. Maybe I’m just terrible at this game.

@smolsauce

I have the LoS games on Steam Deck but I'd love them on Switch as well. I personally feel the original LoS is a masterpiece of the franchise with amazing storytelling and great gameplay. Reminiscent of Castlevania in the linear sense prior to SotN.

I agree with the criticisms of the other two games but they're far from terrible.

@Mariotag

To this day I just wish we could get a truthful answer on why SotN has never been on a Nintendo platform when it's been on everything else, including mobile.

I can only assume some nefarious backdoor deal that will forever be in place. Who knows? 🤷‍♂️

@Kang81 for me, they're fine but one feels way too derivative of other games. It's trying be Uncharted, God of War, and Shadow of the Colossus all at once so it ends up sacrificing so much of Castlevania's identity to fit in with the AAA cool kids

@Serpenterror Thanks much for the screen shot Serpenterror.
