    No. The first one: Circle of the Moon. (which is virtually unplayable on a non-SP GBA) I've spent so much time playing Zero Mission...and it's back in my GBA SP.

    If you're going to buy a Castlevania GBA game I say get Cirlce Of The Moon if you can find it. It's much longer/harder/better than Aria Of Sorrow (which is still pretty good though. I can see people enjoying Aria Of Sorrow more but not me.

    And harmony of dissonance is a great game as well. All the castlevania games for the GBA are very hard to find since Konami only made one batch of them. Konami europe have exactly 0 copies in their warehouse.

    However i prefer the Metroid games.

    If I'm taking you literally, you mean the NES Classic games no?

    Go with Metroid, but don't bother with the redundant NES Classic version, get Zero Mission instead.

    Not the nes classic. Nintendo released that. I mean circle of the moon, harmony of dissonance and aria of sorrow.

    Taking just the original games, I'd pick Castlevania.

    If we can widen to newer titles, I'd probably go with Metroid Fusion over Zero Mission -- just preferred it, and it's harder imo. Zero Mission was a cake walk after Fusion...

    Aw come on man...
    if you can afford wireless headphones, networking switches etc you can surely afford 2 games for your gameboy!
    Or just sell the gameboy and games and rent a hooker for the night. Much more fun! :D
