[Canadian Dragon]

Putting Super Metroid in the same table as SOTN called "Best Metroidvania Game" is simply wrong.

[Canadian Dragon]

mtroidvania is a tyerm invented specifically because of those two games...

 

[Death By Looch]

[Canadian Dragon]

[Canadian Dragon]

Metroidvania[a] is a sub-genre of action-adventure games and/or platformers focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration and progression. The term is a portmanteau of the names of the video game series Metroid and Castlevania, based on the template from Metroid from 1986, Castlevania II from 1987, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night from 1997.

These games usually feature a large interconnected world map the player can explore, although parts of the world will be inaccessible to the player until they acquire special items, tools, weapons, abilities, or knowledge within the game. Acquiring such improvements can also aid the player in defeating more difficult enemies and locating shortcuts and secret areas, and often includes retracing one's steps across the map.

in what world does Super Metroid not fall into this

 

[Storm Trooper]

I'll be honest not a huge MetroidVania fan. But the subgenre is literally called MetroidVania because of the 2 series Metroid and Castlevania... And from what I know Super Metroid is peak Metroid, and easily the best of that era in the subgenre.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

yeah super metroid is by far the best metroid game, much like SOTN is best castlevania imo.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Uhhhhhhh

 

[Canadian Dragon]

theyve tried to make other good metroids to some success

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Y'all totally misinterpreted what Looch was saying lmfao
