    I love that these old games are getting released on the Switch. They are timeless really and have aged pretty well. I think they could have just included the three DS era games here as well but they are most likely saving it as another compilation. Also hope to see an updated SOTN switch port as well in the future. Aria of sorrow alone is worth the price of admission, while CotM andI love that these old games are getting released on the Switch.

Dracula X is kind of meh, but at least it's there. It's nice to go back and see the glory days of Metroidvania when we have so many of these types of games now that push the envelope like Hollow Knight, Ori, Etc. This collection should not be missed by fans of the series.… Expand

    Konami is slowly bringing back a beloved series that has influence on hundreds of games nowadays.
    This collection has one of the best games in the series beeing Aria of Sorrow.

    This is an amazing collection finally Konami does something right! Great games the only complaint I have is that rondo of blood and symphony of the night are not included lol. Let’s hope this sells well enough so we can get a 3ds collection for switch those are excellent games as well! Buy this ASAP

    A collection of the finest GBA Castlevania games and one mediocre SNES Castlevania game. This collection has hundreds of hours and it comes at the bargain price of €20.

    Useless port. The unreactive controls make this games of chance rather than skill.

    Though Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was the first entry to truly embrace 2D exploration and non-linear progression, it was in these three GBA titles that the “-vania” was permanently affixed to the “Metroid.” Individually, they are fantastic games, and together, they offer an irresistible package to fans of the series and genre. Our reviewers very much enjoyed each game in the collection, and we highly recommend it to those looking for engaging, challenging, and expertly crafted Metroidvania games!

    Each of these games is an excellent individual effort and would be well worth revisiting alone. All together, for the equivalent of a few bucks apiece, the value is incredible! [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 28]

    A unique opportunity to re-enjoy Castlevania GBA editions with the addition of Castlevania X. Full of extras and quality of life options for added enjoyment, but very poor in terms of video games included.
