Castlevania Advance Collection in steam

ahh good memories bump

Awful regional pricing.

Circle of the Moon is probably the most underrated Castlevania.

There, I said it.

I'm curious are these collections actual PC ports or emulators that load the original ROMs?

what's the difference between dracula x and rondo? someone reviewed about it as if it was a negative, but it seems X is a better version?

Just need the DS collection now.

And the N64 and Playstation titles. It'd be really nice to have Symphony of the Night that I hear so much about.

This is very basic stuff. You can easily get all "new" functionalities by emulating the games. If I'm going to get a sidescroller collection I see no reason not to get something like the Zero/ZX one over this, and that one is even cheaper (at least in my region).

And Circle of the Moon is not even good, so it's only three worthwhile games in the end.

I played Circle of the Moon when it came out, and at the time I thought it was great. Compared to some of the later titles, though, I now find it meh at best. Aria (and Dawn) of Sorrow remains one of my favorites, based on both the story and the gameplay, because apparently I'm weird. Speaking of which, I wonder how (or if) they're planning to work it so if they ever make Dawn available, you can still get the Rare Ring (which you normally only got if you created a new game in Dawn with Aria in the gameboy slot, and at least having some sort of gameplay data on it).
