Limited Run #524: Castlevania Advance Collection Ultimate Edition (PS4)

They put a working shadowbox in the collector's edition. Let that sink in. Limited Run #524: Castlevania Advance Collection Ultimate Edition for PlayStation 4 is one of the most ambitious collector's editions we've seen, packaging the Castlevania GBA trilogy on PS4 with an oversized GBA-shaped collector's box, a classic silver box with metallic ink, a SteelBook, and a shadowbox that lights up and plays music.

Then it keeps going: hand-drawn GBA game maps by Jeremy Parish, an 18" x 24" reversible poster, mini cart keychains, lithographs, 20 dual set-up system cards, and all alternate cover sheets for the collection. The shadowbox is the undeniable centerpiece. A Castlevania display piece that illuminates and plays music from the series transforms any shelf into a gothic shrine.

Jeremy Parish's hand-drawn game maps are a historian's touch, bridging the gap between gaming journalism and collectible art. The mini cart keychains are a loving nod to the GBA originals, and the oversized GBA collector's box frames the entire package in pure nostalgia. Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow.

Three of the finest handheld games ever made, now preserved on PS4 disc with physical extras that honor their legacy. This is the kind of Ultimate Edition that actually earns the title.
