Doesn't look like any updates or changes, and updated with "Save states and rewinds". So why buy this instead of emulate the originals?

Mostly for the convenience of having all of the games on one platform?

Why not buy a DSi and hack it or a DS with a flashcart then?

If we follow that logic then why bother bringing back old games?

For me it is always a win that people get to enjoy these older gems in their current console.

Eh, I might buy it on sale since I already have the other Castlevania collections on Switch. They're convenient to play and I liked the portable games quite a bit. Ecclesia is probably my favorite in the series!

But yeah, also, emulating on Steamdeck would probably be better, but more work to set up and hunt down ROMs.

Speaking of Ecclasia, why did the DS have such great entries in several series? Days of Ruin is also my favorite Advance Wars game, and I feel like both were later games, darker in tone than previous, with actually good use of the touchscreen.

Because this isn't just available on PC.
