• You can vote for one (1) game in each poll.

I'm not sure why Circle of the Moon is still here after all this time. It's one of the weakest exploraction entries in the series.

Aria > Circle > Harmony on GBA
Dawn > Order > Portrait on DS.
Aria > Dawn > Order > Circle > Harmony==Portrait across Nintendo portables.

Whinging aside, as much as I went to bat to get Shanoa into this tie-breaker in the first place, I'm going to have to vote for the OG Castlevania against her now. The first game is too good to let go this early in the competition.

I went with the lovely Rondo of Blood and with the original Castlevania here. Easy votes.

Agreed. Voted for the same. Would love to see them in the finals (although idk if that's possible with the bracket, but we'll see!).

Circle of the Moon and Castlevania are the winners.
