OK but what game perfected it?
Super Metroid
Hollow Knight, but MetroidKnight doesn't have the same ring to it.
Watch out, now the shitposters will destroy the thread because you are not allowed to say HK is the best
>We are shitposters because we speak the truth
i fricking hate Hollow Knight Sectarianism, just as bad as frompigs
La Mulana
Probably Super Metroid, yeah.
SotN
Super Mario
is gay
Fallout 4
Metroid-likes
for a while it looked like metroid gave up and castlevania was picking up the slack
there's technically more castlevania metroidvanias than metroid metroidvanias
also frick jeremy parish
>also frick jeremy parish
That's a name I haven't seen in ages.
Well the entire term is misused metroidvania used to very specifically refer to the castlevania games styled after metroid exploration.
It has since become the name for an entire genre.
>metroid invented the genre
>expecting plebbitor zoomers to know anything before the PS1 and SNES
homie please....
>metroidvania means grid maps
You don't know what a Metroidvania is, do you.
explats
My impression is that people starting using the term to refer to all the Castlevanias after SOTN that had heavy influence from Metroid and were popular in the early 2000s. Eventually people started also using the term for indie Metroidvanias that started popping out with the rise of XBLA and Steam.
that's why I like the term exploratory platformer
ewww too white
God damn, Samus literally owes me sex.
she looks like a real party animal.
Its snoys. They need relevance so they cling to SOTN as some sort of innovator because it is largely exclusive to sony platforms.
>it is largely exclusive to sony platforms.
>Sega Saturn
>Xbox 360 port that's backwards compatible with Xbone
>ios
>Android
Black person what are you talking about? Do you really think it's easier to get it on PS1 PSP, PS3, PS4, than it is on a phone?
It's available on a lot of Sony consoles that are older but its in noway exclusive anymore.
I liked the PS4 port of the PSP version of the bonus content which is modified from the PS1 version.
>metroid still can't crawl in current year
>started out as a man but is nowadays known as a woman
So Samus is a troony
>his true form is shrouded in mystery.
>zero suit poster
>is moronic
You mean hollowlikes
are there any castletroids that are more similar to metroid than vania? I really like the 8 way run n gun style of metroid and the lack of rpg systems.
Axiom Verge
Don't matter, the genre is called Hollowlike now anyway.
>it's called a restraining order, even though they want me to stay away from women
How am I supposed to restrain women in my dungeon, then? whole thing doesn't make any sense
It's called platforming. The japanese didn't invent it nor perfect it. Backtracking and progressing with keys/abilities etc either. It's asiatic scum taking credit for things and looking to steal the future. Acclaim/Iguana/Retro whatever turned a piece of shit into something presentable that is held back by representing tasteless designs the jap filth need included to again take credit for something. Kill all asians.
Can't let a woman have all the credit
symphony of the night mogged the shit out of any metroid
>It's called "MetroidVania" after Symphony of the Night
>Which just ripped off Wonder Boy 3
I always figured the Vania part meant the rpg mechanics Symphony of the night added, like leveling up, skills/stats, inventory/equipment etc
Non Metroiadvania Castlevania is best Castlevania btw. Maphomosexualrism was a mistake
>mogs the shit out of ZSS gays
They should be called metafight-likes
>Released in 1988
>Two years after Metroid
Sure
Metroidvania is supposed to include the rpg elements that SotN added to the formula, like levels, stats, huge inventory of items, etc
For some reason this part got dropped and now metroidvania just means metroid clone.
