Random Encounter 306 – Compiling the Compilations

Random Encounter 306 - Artwork from Castlevania and Ace Attorney Collections

On this episode of Random Encounter, it’s time to chat about some recent game compilations!

Game compilations are not only a fantastic way to re-experience older games, but they also offer excellent value for your money! Even if the games are a little old, you’re still getting multiple games for the price of one. And if you’re lucky, the developer will have gone the extra mile to add quality-of-life features, remastered graphics and sound, and lots of additional bells and whistles!

So, Zach is here to discuss the Castlevania Dominus Collection, a compilation of all three DS-era Castlevania games (Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia). These, along with the titles in the Castlevania Advance Collection, were the games that cemented the portmanteau “Metroidvania,” so they are well worth a second (or maybe even first) look.

Then, Jono gets to chat about one of his favorite series with the release of the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection. Combining Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and the previously-unreleased-in-the-West Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit, this compilation will give you the same wacky suspects, logical deductions, and heartfelt characters that the series is known for!

Plus, thanks to some incredible timing, Jono and Zach get to freak out about the upcoming Lunar Remastered Collection! This is going to be a good one!
