I do recall this game was considered so visually dark on the GBA screen that it was difficult to play, therefore leading to a very neon design change in the sequel. # Acquisition I bought this in a lot with *[[Advance Wars]]*, *[[Kingdom Hearts - Chain of Memories|Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]*, [[Super Mario Advance]], *Tony Hawk's Underground*, and *The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King* from Goodwill. All in all, the lot cost $41.53 after tax and shipping; it was just $30 for the games. # Memories This was one of the three games in the lot I really wanted. I have yet to play it, but I guess I have three ways to play it now. Eager to explore the GBA and DS titles in [[S8 - Castlevania|Chapter Select - Season 8]]. # Related Posts - [[Castlevania Series Retrospective – I Finished A Video Game]] # Versions - Castlevania Advance Collection (PS4 Physical, Switch Digital)
