Final Castlevania game to be made for the Game Boy Advance (although it was followed up by a GBA reissue of the original NES game.)
Later reissued on a twofer cartridge, along with another Game Boy Advance Castlevania title, Harmony of Dissonance.
One of the few Castlevania games to receive a direct sequel - Dawn of Sorrow for the DS.
First game in the Castlevania series to be set in the future.
The creators of the series removed a number of games from the official series timeline. Following this 'storyline purge', Aria of Sorrow is the only made-for Game Boy Advance game that is still a part of the series timeline.
