One was a surprise at least.
It’s a day for classic games to come back, with the Castlevania Advance Collection and Actraiser Renaissance, a remake of the SNES title being dropped onto the eShop today.
Castlevania Advance Collection was leaked to hell and back the last few months, so we weren’t too surprised with that but Actraiser Renaissance certainly was unexpected.
As the name suggests, the Castlevania collection features Game Boy Advance games, and some could argue these are the best games in the series.
For $30.00, you get Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and as a bonus Castlevania: Vampire’s Kiss from the SNES.
Included in the collection are a gallery, encyclopedia and music player. You’ll also be able to switch between the Japanese, American and European versions of each game.
Actraiser Renaissance is an update to the 16-bit game but gets a 2.5D upgrade to the visuals. The game’s soundtrack has also been rearranged by the original composer.
More than half of this week's releases are utter rubbish.
