The Classic NES Series, known in Japan as Famicom Mini and simply as NES Classics in Europe, is a collection of Game Boy Advance games released between 2004 and 2005 that are re-editions of many classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) titles. It contains the original Castlevania along its library, which includes many other games from other classic series. It is an almost exact emulation of the original game, compared to other games of the series that featured slight differences, and was generally well received by critics as a classic port.
