article summed up perfectly: *breathing intensifies*

GAME HISTORY…
- Hey, the Game Boy Advance came
out on June 11, 2001! It ended up selling more than 81 million units, which is
pretty, pretty, pretty good. Castlevania:
Circle of the Moon was a launch title. It’s a stellar side-scroller
with RPG elements, and worth hunting down.
- Also on June 11, but in 2000, The Legend
of Dragoon came out for the Playstation. It was a fairly mediocre RPG,
but one of the first released for the system, so it sold fairly well as a
result.
