When you first pop in the disc, the only game that's immediately available is the 3D remake of Rondo of Blood. The other two games are locked until you locate and collect the items in the Rondo remake that unlock them. If you play through normally, it could take you hours and hours to find those hidden game icons, given that they're situated in hard-to-reach spots along alternate level pathways. Of course, if you're the impatient sort, you can always cheat and visit your favorite gaming website to read tips that reveal exactly where those icons are located. In any case, it seems kind of cold-blooded that Konami is forcing players to put in some legitimate effort to access two-thirds of the content on the disc, especially when the original Rondo and Symphony of the Night are mentioned so prominently on the back of the box and in the user's manual.
