It will be part of the fifth batch for the Oretachi Geesen Zoku series from Hamster, which will include the original arcade Contra (1987), as well as Pooyan (1982) and Akumajou Dracula ('Haunted Castle' in Western countries, from 1988), the only specifically arcade-based Castlevania and one of the rarest (and hardest) games in the series. As you see, this is a 'Konami special' which has May 25th as the release date, according to Famitsu Magazine. Thanks to Souta House.
