Konami announced a series of video game collections coming out this year to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. There were 3 collections announced:
Seems odd to me that they would include Belmont's Revenge over Simon's Quest in the Castlevania collection. Perhaps it is one of the unannounced titles.
I guess Konami are going to continue to milk peoples' nostalgia. How's that pachinko business strategy going?
EDIT: Changed Salamander to the English release name Life Force.
EDIT2: Added full Castlevania lineup. Release date is May 16.
EDIT3: Added full Contra lineup. No released date announced as of May 29.
EDIT4: Content update for Castlevania was released on June 18 and added the Japanese versions of each game in a bonus menu.
