Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow (Castlevania Advance Collection)(Nintendo Stitch) I’ve never played a Castlevania, but after hearing The Resties discuss their favorite Metroidvanias (and the excellent, cheap, and perfect-to-play-with-kids Pizza Possum) and come to the consensus that Aria of Sorrow is the best of its generation, I remembered I’d snagged this collection on sale some time…
