    I guess Sonic Adventure 1 has a little bit of this, with the hub worlds. New abilities can allow you to reach new places in the hub worlds

      Yeah! That’s why I KNOW a full Metroidvania sonic game would be the greatest thing ever!

      Sonic Adventure 1 is my favorite Sonic game. I was thinking more along the lines of a 2d sidescrolling Sonic metroidvania though.

  Commander Keen metroidvania?

  Earthworm Jim

  Please someone do anything with this franchise. I can even tolerate an open world live service game of Earthworm Jim.

    Isn’t the creator/owner problematic?

      Jesus Christ, is there any bit of nostalgia left that’s not tainted by those lunatics?

      At least I still Harry Potter.

      Dunno, but if that’s true, then ideally the rights would be bought and used by people who don’t suck, or maybe there could be a spiritual successor.

  Duuuude! Megaman would also be AMAZING as a Metroidvania!

  • AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    If you’re not aware, Megaman Zero series, and Megaman ZX games are pretty much metroidvanias.

    There’s also the fanmade Megaman X Corrupted which is reimagining the Megaman X games as a metroidvania.

  The Lost Vikings as a Metroidvania would be ridiculous.

  3 characters have to spit up & collect things so they can come back together and use their combined efforts to progress…

  source

  • AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Yeah, I didn’t consider that. The game would probably have to design the map in a way that keeps all the characters relatively nearby, or introduce a mechanic for them to converge more seamlessly, like maybe having save rooms that teleport all of them together or something.

      Trine is the modern day Lost Vikings. You just switch characters on the fly.

      I’m just picturing big chambers like Super Metroid, and the characters moving around testing things to see what happens, then putting it together. (Maybe a zoom out button, or the map screen being relatively detailed.) So it could be very similar to the original, just “more”. You’d just need a few sets of puzzles in every chamber, for when they backtrack and revisit areas. Mind you I’m not saying it’s easy to design good levels and puzzles, especially in such a large scale, just that it’s easy for me to imagine it being fun.

  Tomb raider in 2d metrodivania would be cool.

  Same with maybe Doom?

  • robbinhood@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Tomb Raider would be perfect for a metroidvania. Good suggestion.

  Resident evil 2d Metroidvania.

  The game is already genre adjacent. It would work so well.

  • runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Biohazard might as well be a metroidvania.

    source
• AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Oooh, another one: Demon’s Crest.

  Omfg I can’t believe I forgot about this one. Ecco the Dolphin metroidvania!

    Check out “Aquaria”. Not quite the same thing, but a Metroidvania playing as a mermaid with song powers. Lots of boss fights! And you can even breech the surface when you get there!

  Great list. Donkey Kong Country is especially appealing for me. Let’s throw mario in there too while we’re at it. I think that could work well.

  I’d like to see a red dead redemption set in the early wild west.

  My first thoughts were Final Fantasy because you have all the enemies you need. And they’ve already branched out into monster catching and Souls-like. So might as well.

  My second thought was X-men because the Genesis games were already kinda built for that.

  It already exists, but the sands of time Metroidvania “Lost Crowns” was surprisingly good.

  Punch-Out!

  • AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Lol, that’d be interesting. Would the whole thing take place in that semi-first-person perspective?

      Imagine Little Mac training animation with his coach.

      He trains by roaming the city, confronting street gangs, fleeing dangerous dogs and finding training rooms to recruit opponents to qualify for the real fights…
