General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Are other people as sick of "Metroidvanias" as I am?

« Last post by BLOOD MONKEY on May 15, 2024, 07:48:57 PM »

No metroidvania, for me, has ever topped the wonder and intrigue of either Super Metroid or SotN. Those games all feel like art pieces with organic environments, as opposed to designed gameplay loops that happen to feature good art.

Not that I think the genre is stale or anything, I just think it's one of those things that's incredibly difficult to get right. SM and SotN have many more detectable flaws than modern metroidvanias but their shadow looms impossibly tall over the genre. It's like boxers.

6 starting from Smash Bros that I can think of.  Did I miss any?

Edit: Oh, since Smash isn't a DLC, I guess that would make 5 CV DLCs in non-Castlevania games.  Also since Jail or Bail is a Konami game, that would give us 5 collaborations as well.

Looking through some of these old trailers - this is when original style Simon Belmont really made a come back.

I'm losing count now. Is the 4th? 5th? Vania DLC in non Vania games?

With how busy I've been, I haven't had the chance to try any of this stuff.
