I finally see what people see in Castlevania

Your not going to find anything like Aria of Sorrow on MAME.  That style of Castlevania (which originated in Castlevania:  Symphony of the Night) owes its entire existance to Super Metroid on the SNES.  All Castlevania games since then follow the Metroid formula pretty closely.

I just got back into playing Circle of the Moon. Great game. I hope the other GBA Castlevanias are this good (I have them, I just haven't played them)

While I can see your point, I think its a bit of a stretch.  SOTN is the best castlevania (IMO) but circle of the moon, and the first 2 DS games are good as well. I havent had a chance to pick up the 3rd but Ive heard good things.

What I mean is SOTN came first.  When it hit big, all of the Castlevania games that came after it (all the GBA games and DS games) followed the same formula (including CotM).

Please don't put words in my mouth like that.  None of that is true.
