After months of anticipation, we can finally get our hands on the remastered GameBoy Advance Castlevania games for Switch

If you have been following our blog for the past few months, you will be aware that eager eyes had spotted various game rating boards rating Castlevania Advance Collection without Konami releasing any information regarding what the collection would contain and when we could get our hands on the games.

Yet the wait is now finally over as during last night’s Nintendo Direct, Konami announced the Castlevania Advanced Collection is now available on Switch.

Castlevania Advanced Collection

The game is available to purchase at £15.99 and contains 3 Castlevania titles that were originally released on GameBoy Advance, as well as another title that was originally released on SNES.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon was released in 2001, set in 1830, and follows the protagonist Nathan Graves, who’s following the footsteps of his deceased parents and his mentor Morris Baldwin take on Dracula. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance was next released in 2002. The game is set in 1748 and follows Simon Belmont’s descendant Juste Belmont, who is trying to save his kidnapped friend Lydie from Dracula’s castle. The third game, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, took on a less conventional setting. Released in 2003, this Castlevania game is set in 2035 and follows teenager Soma Cruz who has occult powers. And the final game, Castlevania: Vampire’s Kiss is an adaptation of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and goes by the title Castlevania: Dracula X, and sees protagonist Richter Belmont take on Dracula.

Players will be able to choose between the Japanese, American, and European versions of each game as well as experience the art gallery with never-seen-before artwork. There is also a music player that lets you listen to all of the soundtracks and each game has save slates and a rewind function.

The collection is expected to come out on Xbox, PS4, and PC too, yet a release date is still set to be announced.

Castlevania Advance Collection has been rated by another games rating board, giving us more hope for this GBA remaster to be real

Back in June, I wrote my first ever article for Go2Games regarding the news of a Castlevania Advance Collection being rated by two games rating boards, yet with no official statement from Konami, it was still up in the air whether we could be expecting it any time soon.

Now, another games rating board has rated the GBA remaster of the gothic-horror classic video game series and has given us more of an insight into something that is basically happening, we just haven’t received the news from Castlevania’s own IP owner.

Castlevania Advance Collection

The Taiwan Entertainment Software Rating Information website joins the ranks of the Australian Classification Board and the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea by listing the Castlevania Advance Collection, and has rated the game PG-12 for “sex, violence, horror and inappropriate language”.

The website has also stated what platforms we can expect to see the remaster on; Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The Castlevania Advance Collection is composed of three games that have all been critically reviewed and each score 91 on Metacritic.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon was released in 2001, set in 1830, and follows the protagonist Nathan Graves, who’s following the footsteps of his deceased parents and his mentor Morris Baldwin take on Dracula. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance was next released in 2002. The game is set in 1748 and follows Simon Belmont’s descendant Juste Belmont, who is trying to save his kidnapped friend Lydie from Dracula’s castle. The final game, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, took on a less conventional setting. Released in 2003, this Castlevania game is set in 2035 and follows teenager Soma Cruz who has occult powers.

These GBA games have only been re-released singularly before on the Wii U console back in 2015 so it will be exciting when Konami confirms whether we get this remaster collection or not.
