      Same. I played it to completion and enjoyed it throughout. Then tried to move onto the other GBA-games but the artstyle didn't grab me (yes that's shallow but whatever). Still haven't played SotN... I've played the originals (but long after the NES was relevant) and Legends for the Gameboy...
      I have no idea why CotM gets hate(?). Granted I haven't played many of the games but of the ones I have it's my clear favorite.

    Circle of the Moon was my first Castlevania and the game that got me into the series. Playing it with the added features in the Collection which tell you if the enemy you're fighting drops DSS cards and if so which one is the biggest QoL improvement ever. I usually end up looking at guides for that info as I play, but not anymore! Aria is probably the best on the Collection though. All of them are great though and worth your time.

    I seriously disagree with you. Out of all of the GBA Castlevania's, Circle of the Moon is my favorite and it was the last one I had played out of the three. To me it felt like the closest you could get to the classic Castlevanias meeting SOTN. Nathan felt stiff like a Belmont until you get the upgrades which made progressing much more meaningful. It was the most fairly challenging of the three and it definitely had the best soundtrack. It wasn't as pretty looking as the other two, but I still think it was the best one. Still....I love your channel and will continue to be a proud subscriber. Much love to you RGT85.

    Circle of the Moon was my introduction to Castlevania so as a result its my favorite in the collection. Favorite does not mean best. That distinction falls to Aria of Sorrow.

      COTM is my favorite as well. I actually think it’s better than Aria of Sorrow… I think COTM’s game mechanics, music and graphics are just superior to AOS… and COTM has better replay value with the different modes you can play in and I think it’s more challenging. However I do like Aria of Sorrow a lot. Now Harmony of Dissonance I really don’t like… the Graphics, Music and game mechanics I think are terrible… I just couldn’t get into HOD. I am going to give it another chance though and start playing it again.

If I remember correctly, I paid about 17 bucks for this collection, and it was money well spent. Konami just needs to release a collection with the DS titles now because I never really got the chance to get into those ones, and now would be a good time to do that

      Yeah. The castle in HoD thematically made very little sense and didn't seem to have a lot of effort put into making the different areas stand out with any memorable set pieces. So navigating it was always confusing because there didn't seem to be much logical reason for what areas were where in the castle.

    I have 2 issues with your review here. First: Is Castlevania GBA Collection worth your $20? Is that supposed to be a trick question?? Freakin' right it is! I played all three and still own the GBA originals and.....yes just buy them. $20 is a steel and I'm surprised it's so cheap.
    Second: I really don't understand your review of COTM. I had no problem with the jumping, dashing, combat, sliding, card system. Anything. I played through it twice and it remains one of my favorite Castlevania games. Of course Harmony and Aria are going to be a step up. They released later (in sequence) so the developers learned and improved on the 2 later games. Anyway, as always, great video!

    Nice review man as always and thanks for sharing!
    I have some stuff to short out about this collection.Starting off with the price tag i believe that 20 euros or dollars is a good bargain since they giving us 4 games instead only 3 which is nice,even though the dracula x aka vampires kiss was an snes making me think,what?! Did they released a gba version of this game as well like they did with super ghouls & ghosts etc & stuff??? But as i remember they didn't if of course i remember correctly in general.It was really nice to include this one since in their previous anniversary collection they also included super castlevania 4 as well and it is very welcoming in this 20 dollars pack.Although i have the original cartriges of the GBA it is much easier to play those in a big screen if you don't have a dsi XL or a ds because nintendo removed the port for the GBA games in the nintendo dsi for the purpose to resale those in their online store etc.
    Secondly this collection is i believe much nicer compilation from anniversary as a whole,because they included all the games from GBA gallery instead putting randomly some games here and there.For instance although i love kid dracula as a agame i didn't wanted it that much in this castlevania collection.They could do allot better by choosing the rebirth game in that accompanied with the chronicles for instance instead putting inside simons quest or the adventure if they wanted to choose much better games or the MSX version inside for the fun fact!
    Overall i would love to see some more collections like those to be released by filling the gaps wit those last games i mentioned! ;)

    A lot of people dunk on Harmony for using 8bit sound channels but the actual compositions are complex and haunting, creating a sense of dread that's not often seen in the series.
    Another thing people don't give Harmony credit for is its stunning environmental spritework; there are many rooms with unique tile sets, which can help make navigating the labyrinthine castle a little easier

    • @J-Hue

    Woah there, this video almost makes me want to unsubscribe, man. Circle of the Moon not only has the #1 top best of all time Castlevania soundtrack, but it's also one of the best GBA games, period. I like that the player character is smaller so there's more room to move around on the screen (you can see more of the room around you compared to your size and range of attack). It starts off feeling slow because you can't run, then you get the boots that allow for running and then you get jumping upgrades, and it just feels like such a cool progression. Eventually you can just fly up in the air and you feel so powerful. The music, the graphics, everything is just right. I later got the double pack of Harmony and Aria, and I definitely prefer Aria because it feels more like Circle of the Moon and the graphics look more similar. Harmony looks outdated by comparison. (And by the way, didn't you know that Nathan can twirl his whip in a circle to get those smaller worm enemies?)
