When games get close to release, they can occasionally get accidentally leaked through the various video game rating boards across the world. In the case of the unannounced Castlevania Advance Collection, its existence was revealed back in June, when the Australian Ratings Board let it slip. Konami still hasn't said anything official about the collection existing, but it has been leaked a second time, through the Taiwanese Ratings Board, which has given us new information in the form of the platforms Castlevania Advance Collection will be coming to. It'll pack together the three Game Boy Advance Castlevania titles, Aria of Sorrow, Harmony of Dissonance, and Circle of the Moon, and will be available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC. The ratings board has since deleted the entry for the game, however, a screenshot was taken prior to its removal. Currently, there is no release date for the collection.

It seems the milkman (aka Konami), is at it again...probably

GBA games on PS4, interesting.
I don't see the benefit, unless some people literally don't have the original games.
But on PC... why not just use an emulator?

If there are any updates, enhancements etc, I am more interested

Here I was recently feeling in the mood to play Aria of Sorrow too! Perfect timing!

as for pc...it gives a legal way of getting it outside of tracking down copies of the original and finding some way to dump them. which at that point you may as well get the gba player

Im guessing this is a sword fighting game. I'm not good in these type of games. Not at all.

No. The GBA Castlevania games are metroidvanias similiar to Symphony of The Night from what I have heard.

I was also thinking about buying one of the GBA Castlevania games on the Virtual Console

 

[KleinesSinchen]

Konami, come on.
Please put all (linear and Metroidvania) 2D Castlevania from the first one to Order of Ecclesia into one collection!

A bonus would be a HD remake with a hotkey to seamlessly switch between classic and modern graphic/sound. (That would actually be an effort and worth some more money than a legal ROM collection).

Did we just forget Mega man Zero ZX legacy collection?

 

[Chary]

I've always liked Aria of Sorrow, but I wish this collection had the DS games, too.

How about Symphony of the Night? That PS1 disc is insanely expensive.

 

[Plazorn]

I am sure at one point someone would figure out how to inject other gba games into it.

 

[Deleted member 534570]

Pass. The GBA games still look and play great. No way I'm buying them again. And seeing as how this is Konami, they're going to charge us up the ass for this lazy re-release.

Between emulation, PS4, PSP, and 360 releases, I've had my fill of SOTN haha. I would very much like to see it officially come to PC and Switch though.

So many old games would do so well if they were ported to the Switch.

 

[Randy Steele]

That's pretty cool. Some of the best games in the series came out on GBA. I would've preferred a massive handheld collection with the DS games and Dracula X Chronicles but obviously that would never happen.

NDS games are probably going to be less common considering that they require two screens. But I am sure someone would eventually think of something.

 

[MarkDarkness]

OHHH YEAH! The best game of all time, Aria of Sorrow, now with legit achievements! Christmas came early this year! <3

 

[Clydefrosch]

But when will they port castlevania - the pachinko experience?

that shouldn't be much of an issue for the castlevania games.

people already made no touchscreen hack for DoS and I'm not sure the other games needed it for anything besides like, sisters mode.
you can do the tiny screen on the side setup for it, it would be good enough for the map

The Dreamcast version, of course.
