Dracula X is a weird inclusion with this collection as it’s not only not a GBA title, but a linear title comparatively speaking. Oddly enough, Circle of the Moon is not a true Igavania in that Koji Igarashi was not in his typical role of producer or scenario writer, but it shamelessly wears its Symphony of the Night influence on its cape. You know, big non-linear maps to explore with branching pathways and areas blocked off until new abilities are found that grant new forms of traveling.

The three GBA games are what are colloquially known as Igavanias after the success of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night taking the franchise in a metroidvania direction. In ancient times when these titles were originally released, games came with instruction booklets that had this type of information included. Circle of the Moon includes information about Dual Set-Up System (DSS), Harmony of Dissonance has information about Spell Fusion, while Aria of Sorrow has a list of souls. In addition to that information there are specific lists for each game. This includes a list of in-game items, equipment and bestiary. In addition to that content each of the GBA games includes an Encyclopedia menu in the pause menu.

There’s an art gallery to look at concept artwork and box art from different regions,a music player that has the full soundtrack for each game, as well as the option to play the American, European and Japanese version of each game. Castlevania Advance Collection has a decent amount of stuff for fans to check out, but it’s nothing too extravagant. Retro collections such as these tend to include bonus content. A couple years ago Konami released the Castlevania Anniversary Collection and while that was a great collection for fans of the franchise, many lamented about the lack of the GBA titles, but it appears those anguished cries did not fall on deaf ears as Castlevania Advance Collection contains those three games along with Castlevania: Dracula X.
