Topic	Nintendo officially endorses "Search Action" as a genre name
MZero 08/08/21 10:45:01 PM #122:	NeatoAnAccount posted... This article is using the Japanese translation of metroidvania, which literally means "search action" in English. Also, how many people found that article without knowing that Metroid is? Maybe like 3? I have changed my mind on what the problem with this point is. Actually, it's totally fine for genre names to be incomprehensible to non-gamers. Genre names are not for non-gamers. Non-gamers will never run into the words "platformer" or "metroidvania." um, the entire point of the original article is explaining what Metroid is. The section translated in the tweet is literally called "What is the Metroid series?" --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! <cite>MZero posted [p:956908503] in Nintendo o...
