Let's Play Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow!

[Edge7]

Hell, alright then.

Foreword: Ah Castlevania; it was a series I had never heard of until about 4th grade, when Nintendo Power had a featured article concerning this game and the history of Castlevania (I believe the cover issue was about the second Golden Sun). I was instantly wowed by Ayami Kojima's beautiful artwork. I mean, LOOK AT IT

AWESOME! I mean, SWORDS DEMONS BLOOD and a cute chick to top it all off!
...Wait. Yeah, this was one of those rare times I mistook an effeminate male for a girl; the other notable time being Raiden in MGS4.

So yeah, my mom took ONE LOOK at this game case and said "no". It's a good thing my Grandparents are awesome .

Anywho, Aria of Sorrow was my first journey into Dracula's domain, and I gotta say, it got me hooked. In fact, to this day, this game and it's sequel are some of my favorite handheld games of all time. In fact, I'm going to go so far as to say I think this game tops Symphony of the Night (gasp!). You guys might have to bare with me a bit, this is my first time playing the game since... 2010, I want to say. This is also my first LP, so I'm going to take a bit of time to make sure I have all the screenshots I need for the first couple areas of the game. I be back soon enough.
