Nintendo The METROIDVANIA Thread

[Snubnoze707]

If you guys haven't played the Gameboy Advance Castlevania games get on that shit, they are awesome. You can emulate them and play them on your TV, theirs also some good hacked versions that fix some of the colors they chose for the GBA since it wasn't a backlit screen.

Posted this in the PlayStation thread. Really looking forward to this one.

I never get tired of these.

I disagree, and believe Super Metroid is actually the greatest of all games. And, really, I believe it is Punch-Out. But I like this thread, I love these kinds of games. I've played Super Metroid five times in the last two years, and Metroid Dread two or three. I hope they don't drag their feet on making a sequel to Dread, it was a gorgeous game.

I saw a trailer a while back for this, the release date took me for surprise. This is coming out December 14th. Not sure if it will be any good but it looks a bit interesting.

More Metroid > Less Metroid

I really wish theyd give them all the HD treatment. Some of that shit is hard on the eyes nowadays.

(just not as good).

Nothing is.

They should release Metroid games like the Apex hosts fight cards, imo. But only if the quality doesn't suffer, unlike the Apex cards.

Bud, play that game. To me it is every bit as good as Super Metroid, almost like a reimagining of that game, with scarier mini bosses. If you're cool with @Mr Holmes, he has a copy he might let you borrow (not facetious).

I sold mine on ebay. Great game though, maybe I should have kept it.

I'm sure there will be opportunities to grab it again, and probably at a premium. If you happened upon it at Game Stop used for like $15, that's a huge score.

I assure you, the only disappointment you'll have while playing that game is the fact that you'll have to replay the android chases repeatedly. Those motherfuckers are tough, and they will kill the shit out of you. I never got the timing down on countering them, though, so I can only be disappointed in myself.

I didn't even find out you can counter them until after I beat the game

Holy fuck lmao. To play that game without ANY counters on the androids...I'd wager that those stages took you a few tries lol. I knew about it and it still took me dozens of tries, for each one. Could just never really time it lol. I think I hit it two or three times

So what is the consensus 'Best Modern Castlevania' game?

Guess it depends on who you ask. Hollow Knight is probably the king. Ender Lilies is my second favorite.

"Hollow Knight" is the best traditional one. "Dead Cells" is the best one with some rogue-like twists on the formula.

One that always gets forgotten, but is right up there, is "Shadow Complex".
