Castlevania Circle of the Moon, which I don't think anybody was arguing was a top 50 game of all time, even at that time.

Kris WolfheartPANELIST
Like is this gonna become s- become Circle of the Moon where the game becomes screens of the beefiest boys you've ever seen?
Noel SlamrocketHOST
People are saying the, um, the demo has the fist weapon, it's just hidden.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
Oh, really?
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
And this game is like Circle 'cause you got the tarot cards.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
Yep.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
Now I keep thinking- It might be a direct circle ... about Circle of the Moon a lot.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
I do...
Jeremy MakowskiHOST
Yeah.
Jeremy MakowskiHOST
I will always do that 'cause it just brings back memories of trying to play Circle of the Moon on the Game Boy Advance, you know?
Trey JohnsonHOST
[laughs] Yeah.
Trey JohnsonHOST
You can play that now, though, on the Switch and it's not as dark 'cause it's backlit and your TV is-
Conrad ZimmermanHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Conrad ZimmermanHOST
I don't know if I'll go back to, like, Circle of the Moon on GBA, because I remember that one being pretty rough.
Conrad ZimmermanHOST
But Aria and Dona Sorrow, I loved those games so much too.
Conrad ZimmermanHOST
I will probably play those also.
DiaGUEST
So I went back to the GBA Advance collection.
DiaGUEST
um literally like an hour before we started playing harmony of dissidents um i skipped i skipped circle of the moon because that was one of the first gba games i ever got and i was just like i hated it um i think i played like for like an hour and a half and i was just like i can't play this game i hate this this is in castlevania fuck off um But Harmony of Dissonance has got me so far.
DiaGUEST
Though I'm looking forward to the Soma Cruise phase because that is what I'm told is good.
DiaGUEST
The people do like Harmony of Dissonance.

JacksonHOST
Well, I mean, I have to decide exactly how in-depth I want to go.
JacksonHOST
Because, yes, I have the list, and I'm sticking to these specific games.
JacksonHOST
It's like Ocarina of Time, then Castlevania 64, then Majora's Mask, then Legend of Zelda Ages and Seasons, then Circle of the Moon.
JacksonHOST
I'm like, okay, do I want to play all of these? We'll see.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Um, tomorrow, September 26th, is Castlevania's 40th anniversary, so celebrate by going to download that.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Or go play fucking Circle of the Moon.
Jeff GrubbHOST
That's a good game.
Jeff GrubbHOST
Symphony of the Night, of course.
