Ok-Cancel versus Cancel-Ok

Since you asked... About half of the first Castlevania is right-to-left. There are plenty of cues as to where to go, so you never really notice it.

On the other hand -- it's set in an evil castle, with dark muddy colors and a minor-key soundtrack. So maybe the right-to-left motion is intended to make the player feel uncomfortable.

Most of the 2D Castlevania series, really. Later releases like SoTN had the player go back and forth multiple times through certain levels to fully progress, and even had a version of the castle flipped upside down which made the player think on their feet (no pun intended).
