According to Amazon, Konami will be bringing two Xbox LIVE Arcade game complications to retail this month.
Konami Classics Volume 1will featureCastlevania: Symphony of the Night,Frogger, andSuper Contra. The second disc,Konami Classics Volume 2, will featureContra,Rush’n Attack, andTrack and Field. Both volumes will cost $19.99.
AsGamerbytespoints out, the pricing seems a bit lop-sided. While the price of Volume 1 is equal to what you’d pay for the three titles on Xbox LIVE Arcade (and let’s face it, twenty-bucks forSymphony of the Nightalone would be worth it), the second collection does not. In fact, it means you’ll be paying $5 more dollars than you would with the digital downloads.
Bringing XBLA games to retail on a compilation disc is nothing new, but it usually means it’s priced in line with the digital releases. Being able to grabSymphony of the Nightis great news for anyone who doesn’t have Internet access, but let’s be real — who’s going to pay $20 to get the originalContra,Rush’n Attack, andTrack and Field?
