Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow
According to Metacritic, Aria of Sorrow, and indeed the GBA’s other Castlevania game, Circle of the Moon, are the two joint-highest-rated CV games ever released. So while it seems like the earliest and most nostalgia-weighed titles in the long-running series tend to get heralded as the best in most ranked lists, on release it was definitely thought otherwise.
So, you know, could we get one of the classic platformers on NSO? Well, the chances aren’t brilliant, given Capcom is very much in the habit of endlessly reselling us the same fifteen games over and over, for every new machine, for the rest of time. As such, both games are included in the cross-platform Castlevania Advance Collection, alongside Harmony of Dissonance and for some reason the SNES’s Vampire Kiss
But one of them? Maybe? You could call it advertising for the rest of the $20 collection?! Go on.
