A third volume far more enticing thanks to the inclusion of Contra and Castlevania in their Game Boy versions. Konami's action heritage shines on the GBC inside a bundle that actually deserves the buy. The standout volume of the series for fans.

The most sought-after entry after the fourth, driven by the inclusion of Contra and the Game Boy Castlevania, two high-demand licences. That cluster of action titles makes Vol.3 more contested than the puzzle- or shooter-led volumes. The collection's slim European distribution sharpens the pressure on complete copies of this particular tome.
Is Konami GB Collection Vol.3 still worth playing in 2026?
The third volume of the Konami compilations on Game Boy Color, this Vol.3 stands out for a stronger lineup than the others, notably with adaptations of Contra and Castlevania playable individually. The presence of strong licenses and the convenience of several games on one cartridge make it the most recommendable installment of the series. The colorized versions stay faithful but constrained by the platform. A solid compilation for fans of Konami's heritage and nostalgics of pocket 8-bit action.
