Kind of a shame I don't think Bloodlines has gotten many ports for more access to it.

I don’t think Bloodlines has ANY ports.

Yeah, I was drawing a blank... I couldn't remember if it was on any of the eshop/VC's for the Wii, but indeed not.

Shame Konami can't give us a real Castlevania collection.

Fortunately Genesis emulates really well. I can say some emus get the fire and parralax scrolling wrong on Castlevania Bloodlines. I can double check Kega/ Fusion tomorrow for anyone interested in playing CV BL via emu.

I always liked John Morris was from Texas yes, we're a proud bunch

I was endlessly amused when I lived in Texas that ordinary products would just get stuff like "TEXAS EDITION" slapped onto it. Easiest people in the world to market to.

I might have to emulate Bloodlines some time. I'm just one of those purists who has a really annoying obsession with playing games on original hardware and collecting real games (what I'm saying is I can see there are millions of repro cartridges being sold on Ebay for the price of a sandwich), which is honestly fine for like 99% of Mega Drive/Genesis games.

It's just one of those games I'm quickly regretting not having picked up when I saw it at more reasonable prices in the last 5 or so years.

What, y'all don't like Dracula X?

I'm sorry, that was uncalled for.

It is kind of bizarre we don't even have some low-effort version of this. It's money that's just sitting there for the taking. I thought for certain after the Mega Man collections performed well we'd see this.

Exile
Phantasy Star IV
Phantasy Star III
Sorcerian
Tougi-ou: King Colossus
Streets of Rage 2
Shining Force
Shining Force II
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun

Games that are exemplary but have better ports elsewhere: Ys III, The Lost Vikings, Cadash

I haven't read anyone else's list yet, but here's mine in no order.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Phantasy Star IV
Earthworm Jim
Gunstar Heroes
Castlevania Bloodlines
Comix Zone
Light Crusader
Monster World IV
Snake Rattle 'n Roll
Vectorman

I thoroughly enjoyed playing all of these and replay them more than other (even IMO better) games.
