who isn't planning on owning a DS and a few games by the end of the year?

I'm still debating if I should get the Japanese version at the end of the month. I don't know if I'll be able to wait 'till October for this damn game.

Circle of the Moon? Fuck that shit! ARIA OF SORROW! [/frankbooth]
Circle of the Moon rocks and so does Aria. Play them both. CotM is the only GBA CV game with a great soundtrack, though...
Dawn of Souls looks fantastic. I am extremely excited about the game.
Aria IS good, but the map wasn't as interesting and the music was nowhere near as good.

I wouldn't go that far...

I'm a total CAG and even I'll say it's worth it. It is a very good Castlevania game. If you like to play Castlevania games, you will enjoy Aria.
Worth every penny. Shit, it's worth twice that. I've paid 50 for quite a few new games that don't hold a candle to Aria.AniHawk said:
Here, SEVEN dollars. This is probably the best deal of all time. Now stop making excuses.

But still playable? I actually don't know what downsides there are to these GBA fakes.
The gameplay is better? In what way?Soul4ger said:
They were very similar, but the much higher quality animation at least made navigation and combat more enjoyable in SotN. They are both great games, but SotN is presented in a much more impressive fashion.
The story isn't exactly critical to either, though. I'll admit that Aria had a very cool ending (
What with Soma being Dracula, the Belmont fight, and the general closure of everything
SotN does everything else better (to varying degrees). They are quite comparable, though. I suppose we could compare the sub-systems and whatnot, but that does not make a big difference to me (as the actual core platforming and combat is most important).
I wish people wouldn't ignore Circle of the Moon, though. The game is excellent. It's much more difficult than the other two GBA games, features a great soundtrack, and a good map to explore. It's a great game!
Concerto of Midnight Sun is probably my least favorite, though. BORING music, bad animation, ugly sprites, and inferior controls (not bad, just not as good as the other Metroidvania games).

See, I think the Soul System really added a lot to Aria, but I'm one of those guys that likes to collect everything. I really enjoyed trying them out, and slowing realizing that
the three powers combined to make Soma JUST LIKE DRACULA, and that, in turn, he was Dracula
I prefered the level design of Aria of Sorrow. For some reason, the Castle and other envirronement where feeling better going trought them.
The back tracking also felt better. The spirit system is really cool and all the combination you can make is interesting. I also prefer a shit load of item/abilities instead of a shitload of equipements and accessories.
Graphic is contextual, it looks just as good on Aria than SOTN.
The only thing that is a tad better in SOTN is the music, it's so well composed.
IMO: Aria > SOTN >>>>> Dracula's Curse > etc etc etc etc

There's a difference?
I'm so excited, it's hurting my ability to cooncentrate and work. I absolutely loved Aria of Sorrow (my favorite GBA game) and this... this... is ORGASMIC. My fingers are jizzing typing this. There's something about Castlevania games that make me feel like a kid again and when I had that fresh excitement about GAMEPLAY, ya know?
