Topic	Nintendo officially endorses "Search Action" as a genre name

It took a while before "first-person shooter" supplanted "Doom clone". Mostly I think it happened when the genre began to outgrow that descriptor. I think that's why it's taken so long for "Metroidvania" to get replaced. It was only in the last generation or so that we started to get significant numbers of these games that weren't Metroid or Castlevania. <cite>MrGreenonion posted [p:956908153] in Nintendo o...
