SotN gets my vote.

[Bizarro Belmont]

I voted Aria. That to me is tied with Symphony as the kang wolf.

[True Sorrow]

SotN and OoE are the very best. Can't decide between the two, so I just voted them both.

[Mr Sven]

I voted Aria and Circle.

Symphony would have only gotten the points on graphics, animation and one or two gameplay mechanics but overall it wasn't as good as it was hyped to be.

Long dull coridoors, interestng weapons that were far outclassed by the time you got to use them and so never bothered and toooo easy.

Aria gets it right on everything, even graphics considering its a GBA title, imagine it with SotN graphics.

Circle gets my vote also because even though it's mostly whips the weapons were variable, there was a deffinate oldschool castlevania difficulty about it and the art style was gothic just as it should be for CV

[DoctaMario]

I picked SoTN and Simon's Quest, but if not for SQ I woulda picked PoR.

[Dark Nemesis]

I voted for aria of sorrow and Symphony. But to tell the truth i like very much order of ecclesia.

[Thunderbrand]

My votes went to SOTN (for a million obvious reasons), and Simons Quest. I've always loved that game.

[Darth Cariss]

I really enjoy most of them, and the newer ones are pretty darn good, but SoTN wins for me because of the music. The best quality with the highest number of great songs. It wins for me.

[RichterB]

Well, having Simon's Quest on here skews things a bit (It's not really a Castleroid; though it's not really 100% Classic-style, either)...Anyways, I chose Simon's Quest and SotN. Otherwise, it would have been SotN and Circle of the Moon.

[Alutwon]

Huh guess nobody really likes HoD/WNC/CotMS?

O well i can still recognize it as being one of the weaker titles but still its a marginal difference since all casltevania are above average games.

[Profbeanburrito]

Definitely SotN and OoE!

As much as I like Simon's Quest, it just had to sit this one out.

Also, I think "Metroidvania" sounds way better than "Castleroid". "Metroidvania" flows better and "Castleroid" sounds like an incredibly painful sort of hemorrhoid!

Hmmm, that's pretty interesting. I guess it is less liked than SotN, OoE and AoS. But to be honest, I'd put it in third, and AoS after that one.

PoR and OoE for me. PoR is like a Castleroid trying to be classic which is great by me and OoE is just great for all it's locations. Both have my favorite Dracula battles for a castleroid as well.

This one is looking pretty cut and dry, but The Classics Poll has a tight race that needs to play out a bit longer.
