Haha! After all this time I picture your avatar character in a funny way!  ;D
Now I'm tired, eternally walking... forever dying, and never stopping. I feel in sorrow, all I see is white. I’m following a blind way beneath a sad sky.

I call Simon's Quest as "Zelda2vania" since it has a lot more common with Zelda 2 Link's Adventure than Metroid. Calling SOTN as Metroidvania is quite accurate for me since the stage structure, save points and a map system looks exactly the same as Super Metroid.

The term for metroidvania should actually be called "ZeldaVania". IGA stated in some interview (forgot which one) that the exploration thing in SOTN was inspired by the LoZ games.

Nah I disagree with it being called that since it shares more in common with Super Metroid than Zelda due to

1.Exploration
2.Save Rooms
3.Map System

Ditto too. not sure what IGA was thinking when he mentioned Zelda2vania.

Religion is Man's flawed interpretation of Spirituality given back to humanity..."
