Best Konami Switch Collections | Rating EVERY Nintendo Switch Game by Collectability part 29

 

Much like restaurant buffets and the cheap-rubber-bracelets industry, past-decade Konami is a shell of its former self. At least they teasingly remind us how cool they used to be with some of my favorite things in gaming, really good compilations. Well-made stuff, nice extras, the works!

Castlevania Anniversary Collection

Getable: o

Playable: +

Special(able): o

Collectable: ★★★★☆ | B+

The Castlevania Anniversary Collection includes 8 early-series platformer entries, plus an update adds multiple Japanese variants. It's a must-have for Switch-owning Castlevania fans. For the Best Buy version, B+, 4 stars.

Contra Anniversary Collection

Getable: o

Playable: +

Special(able): o

Collectable: ★★★★☆ | B-

The Contra Anniversary Collection includes 5 early-series run-and-gun entries plus several interesting variants. It's slightly pricier and less interesting than Castlevania. For the standard version, B, 4 stars.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cowabunga Collection

Getable: +

Playable: +

Special(able): o

Collectable: ★★★★★ | B+

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cowabunga Collection's 13 retro entries span several genres, consoles, regions, and honestly quality. The main qualms out there - online issues and minor input lag - don't sway me much. B+, 4 stars.

And you're a 5-star compilation of great-person traits.
