Castlevania's general aesthetic and music are among my favorite in video games period so that gives it a huge edge. It also has the benefit of two notably outstanding eras each with their own truly legendary titles - Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night being the best of their respective breeds, but games like Castlevania 1/3, Aria of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia are all downright amazing as well.

All unique series appeal aside, the Metroid-style games feel like they do Metroid better than Metroid itself, so this isn't particularly close for me.
