The game has tons and tons of symbolism.
SOTN is not an original title.

However it does exist, and is in fact "on" XBLA. A step further, it has enhanced graphics and leaderboards built to function with the service.
Braid does have a ton of symbolism. However, to assert that ANY game is "obviously" or "way" better than SotN, is folly imo, and it is likely the result of an opinion created by a person who has never played said game, and possibly generalized it as "Just a Castlevania game."

I'm with sieanr on this one. It's not that Symphony of the Night isn't the best damn title on Xbox Live, hell it's better than any 360 game in existence. But it's a port and therefore doesn't really register in my mind when I think these best games up. The best title on the Wii is most definitely either Gunstar Heroes or Super Mario World, but I wouldn't count them if asked. It's just preference. Everyone knows SOTN is godly though. Then again, Braid is quickly joining the SOTN camp of "never aging gameplay".
@Dolla-You and me buddy, all day all night Castle Crashers. We'll be an unstoppable team.

I'll accept that explaination. Good post. I do, however, think that for a game to reach that SotN ballpark, it needs to stand the test of time. We won't know that for a while. Otherwise, again, good post. I understand that method of thinking.

Braid will stand the test of time. I know it. Storytelling in Braid is so far beyond what i've seen in 99.9% of games and had a spectacular surprise ending that made my jaw drop for every second I kept my finger on the X button. The gameplay is perfect. In my mind it is without flaws. Every puzzle must be worked out basically through no trial and error, and World 4 really cemented how difficult it must have been to design this game in the first place. The visuals are great watercolored painting-like and the music is some of the best i've ever listened to in a game, always capturing the right mood. I just can't see this game aging...at all.
