When Konami initially unveiled the collection, only a few Castlevania titles were announced. But now we have the full list below for you check out and get hyped over.
Castlevania - Originally released on the NES

However over the years and with re-releases, many of the issues have been ironed out and now stands as pretty good game with its nonlinear, RPG-inspired mechanics. These elements inspiring Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Kid Dracula - This comedic spin-off was only released in Japan but now is finally released officially to other regions.

Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge (Game Boy) - The sequel to Castlevania: The Adventure on the Game Boy.
Super Castlevania 4 - One of the greatest Side Scrolling games of the era. Refined and designed to near perfection.
Castlevania: Bloodlines - Released on the Sega Genesis and show cased some impressive effects, interesting story and plenty of vampire action.
The Castlevania Anniversary Collection also includes "Bonus Book" extras, such as a video interview with Castlevania Netflix producer Adi Shankar. This is looking like a pretty awesome lineup and (hopefully soon) then we'll be seeing a Classic Collection of the Contra games, out later in Summer.
