Pros: The game may be old and it still plays very well.
Cons: Konami still could have put more games in the GBA cart.

CASTLEVANIA (October, 2004) There are a lot of things I hate about Nintendo! Sure, I love video games and all and everything about them but Nintendo really upset me when they re-released only a hand full of their old 8-bit NES games to ...

Pros: it's a classic game
Cons: it's hard has heck

I got Castlevania when I notice it at game stop for about 15 dollars I decided since this was probably the only game in the 2nd wave of classic NES titles worth owning, or haven’t been ported a million times over in the past couple of years. ...

Pros: Boss battle great, solid gameplay.
Cons: Parts of the game difficult to figure out without a walkthrough.

Pros: Fun, deep, addictive, great battle system, a great RPG/Action game
Cons: Dark graphics, easy to get lost in the castle, steep difficulty

Ever since I completed Metroid Fusion my Gameboy Advance has been out of commission. Dormant. Unused. Gathering dust. I’ve been too lazy to buy Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Final Fantasy Tactics so my GBA use has just been halted. ...

Pros: Eight hours of awesome gameplay, nice graphics, responsive controls.
Cons: Screen gets a bit too dark at times.

Konami’s classic vampire-hunting adventure series has been a favorite since the days of the NES, when the series got its start. The series has yet to venture into the realm of 3D, but that’s okay; each incarnation of the series has given us 2D...

Pros: Great Game, Both Novice and Master gamers alike will love it.
Cons: Screen is a little dark, save points are fairly far apart.

This game is great, before this I had never played a game from this series and man was I missing out. Not too long that it gets boring, but not too short either. I was entertained for weeks. I am a gamer who gets frustrated easily, but with this game I...

Pros: Long Game comparitively; Replayable a bit
Cons: can't skip animations and people talking(including bosses); points to save card system somewhat unclear

This might be a remake since it seems like Nintendo has a habit of porting NES and SNES games into the GB systems now in days. Comparing this game with other GBA games, this game is pretty good since most of the other games seem either shallow or...

Pros: Great graphics, sound, and very addictive.
Cons: This is when you wish the GBA had its own light.

Cons: You'll go blind if you play without night-vision goggles

Ever since the glory days of 8-bit gaming, decent gamers like us have seen good old Count Dracula rise up from his grave time and time again, only so we could lay him to rest time and time again. I'm sure that part of this phenomenon lies in the fact...

Pros: Good challenge, lots of replay, great control
Cons: Black-on-black graphics, no Belmonts, secret controller motion

Given the raves you hear about this game from other people, you would have thought that this game would have been the toast of E3 2001. Oddly enough, though, Konami only set up one booth, well off to the side, with the game set up. I still wonder to...

Pros: Fun, addictive, new upgrades
Cons: could have had a better story

Introduction:
There have been many Castlevania games in the past on systems such as Gameboy, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and so forth. I have played a bit on some of those systems, but for some reason didn't seem fun to me. After playing this...

Pros: Hours of gameplay, challenging enough to be fun, not so much as to be frustrating.
Cons: Need a strong light source to see adequately.

To start with, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon will have you hunching over your GBA for hours on end. Between leveling, searching for equipment and DSS cards, and of course, progressing through the game, it will have you hooked. Story is a bit weak as...
