Do you think we'll ever see Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on steam?

[Patch]

We only got it on PS4 last gen and the gen before that we only got it on the wii. Konami has been really weird about releasing RoB. Moreso than any other Castlevania game in the series. Not sure why Konami is so weird about releasing this one and not the others.

Only Konami knows.

What we're apt to get on PC is a port of the android port.
So the question is.. would you actually want it if they did. My own experience with such things has been less then stellar.

Is the android port of RoB bad?

It's DOne by modern KONAMI sooo..I'm willing to bet its not what anyone would call ...good.
KONAMI has become legendary for half-assing whatever they do.

Considering their arcade collection was broke on an update and there are still issues with that bundle, it makes me wonder about Konami. Break a game they're selling in the middle of a big sale and leave it partially broken is insane. It doesn't make people want to support them.

The original Rondo of Blood happened to be made for a particularly odd system (PC Engine/Turbografx), though they probably didn't know it at the time.

The PSP port, however, is probably in some sort of backlog of games to port to PC.

Considering that they ported some of the early classicvanias (i.e. those for NES, SNES (partly), Genesis, GB, plus Haunted Castle in a separate collection) as well as the GBA castletroids to PC, I would presume the PCE, PS1, PS2, and DS games are somewhere in the pipeline for ports. (And maybe even odd entries like DXX for SNES and VK for MSX.) Who knows when they'll arrive though.

You mean the KOnami Arcade collection?
Glad I passed on that then.

Never mind the fact that they can't even get Keybinding right.

They cheaped out by only including the truncated US version in the Advance Collection.
But a tardy dromaius might help you run the ful PSP Dracula X Chronicles version.

I would say, "No." Konami is only interested in making slot machines to capitalize on that sweet, sweet gambling money these days, preying on addiction. They figured the push was towards gambling mechanics anyway, with loot boxes and other "surprise mechanics", so why screw around with half measures? Just go for it.

...but then they released the Advance Collection.

In light of that, I have to change my answer to, "Probably not."

Thankfully, there are plenty of morally right, if not legal ways to play Rondo of Blood that don't involve waiting for Konami to cease being a front for the Yakuza and start making games again, rather than just dealing in gambling and money laundering. We can't talk about those ways on Steam though.
