"If you enjoy Metroidvania games even a little bit then picking up Castlevania Advance Collection should be a no-brainer. The included titles have held up beautifully and they&s;re each jam-packed with monster-slaying good times. Here&s;s hoping for Castlevania DS Collection!"

"If you’re at all a fan of Metroidvanias and haven’t played most of these games, there’s no reason to wait. Not every game here is perfect, but they’re all at least good. Circle of the Moon provides the best mix …"

"A Collection that includes some of the most representative and entertaining 2D episodes of the entire saga. Let&s;s hope that Konami will soon put in the hands of M2 the chapters for Nintendo DS."

"Castlevania Advance Collection really showcases a side of Konami we don’t see very often anymore. On one hand, they trot out old franchises with low-effort projects and try to essentially trick people into buying them. On the other, they are …"

"Four games of proven quality. Three Castlevania metroidvania and the vilifying -unfairly- Super Nintendo&s;s Dracula X. The games are worth a lot, but the way to collect them is less lavish. A fair compilation, with the problems of entering the …"
