Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow — the American edition of the game Japan knew as Akumajō Dracula: Minuet of Dawn. This is the American box for the 2003, released May 2003. The other release followed on May 2003 in Japan.

Cover art by Ayami Kojima. Her paintings for this series are a collecting field of their own — see Kojima's Castlevania covers.

The same painting, recomposed into the square American box behind the silver Game Boy Advance spine. Same art, different shape of shelf.

Shown here at its verified native size, 640×640 — the largest honest scan the Library holds for this cover. The game's story is told in its history in the Library.
