Shmuplations has translated a pair of classic interviews with the developers behind Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. One of these was a discussion with Koji Igarashi, the game’s producer – and is currently leading the way on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
One interesting part of the interview came about when Igarashi was asked about why Aria of Sorrow was developed for the Game Boy Advance. He cited strong sales of Circle of the Moon and the fact that 2D games were more acceptable on the device in comparison to something like the PlayStation 2.

Konami has filed trademarks for Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution in a few new regions. It’s now registered in the United States, Europe, and South Korea. It wouldn’t make a ton of sense for these trademarks to be filed if Konami didn’t have any plans to use them, so hopefully we’ll be hearing something official about a western launch soon.
