Why the Castlevania Advance Collection is so exciting

One of gaming’s best classic franchises is making its return. Castlevania Advance Collection is launching today for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC. And it bundles together three of the best games for Game Boy Advance. These classic Konami Castlevanias include Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, and Aria of Sorrow. All three are fantastic and worth going back to, and now fans of the series will get a chance to do that without digging out the GBA SP.

Publisher Konami announced the collection as part of a Nintendo Direct video event today. And I’ve been playing the games. To be clear, I have not played the Castlevania Advance Collection yet. It’s just that I never really ever stopped playing the GBA (and DS) Castlevania games in the first place.
