Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance for GBA is out. Sweetness!
Already, eh? I heard this game almost beats SOTN. Guess I'll have to play it to find out. 
imagine how much better it would of been had it appeared on a home console, then it would beat SOTN, but as it stands, hardly.
No Castlevania game is gonna beat Symphony of the Night. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. Harmony of Dissonance is close, but SOTN was the first to do that stuff like exploration and non-linear gameplay in Castlevania so we'll always be comparing stuff to that. Even if there was a game to be close to it, or maybe a game that you guys believe to be better than SOTN I'm gonna disagree with you because I'm an biased ass!
Yeah, HoD does some neat stuff, but when it comes down to it, it's really just SotN light as opposed to "the best Castlevania game EVAR!!!1" as the gaming press seems to be saying recently. Still, for a portable it does some really cool scaling and rotational effects and looks darn pretty. But it's missing some stuff, like transformational abilities, different weapons and obviously the environments aren't as detailed.
I wise they would have put this on PS2 or something so we could have gotten a real sequel to SotN instead of another mini Castlevania.

And better music quality.
Actually, the game was first planned to be on the PS2, but because of the insane sells of Circle of the Moon, they moved it back to the GBA.
At least this is what I understand.
WOW, I had over 1000 posts and didn't even know it!

Yeah, that's what I had figured as well, which only makes it more dissapointing.
After you beat Castlevania Chronicles and watch that interview with *forgot his name* he says something like "A game which I mentioned is going to get some sort of remake" in a rather cryptic fashion. The only two games even referred to were Castlevania 3 and Rondo of Blood, either of which I'd love to see ported/remade. However we haven't heard anything about the series outside of Harmony so I fear that they decided to scrap the Castlevania Resurgence project....
