Plot is an interesting category, I think both series are mostly games with little plot throughout, but good late-game twists. Metroid 2, Super Metroid, yep, good late-game twists. Aria of Sorrow, SotN, OoE, also all have good late-game twists.

A few metroid games went more heavy into plot: Prime 3 and Other M, and I think these were both pretty disastrous. Fusion also has heavy plot and it's a good one, but it also ruins the game a bit--I don't think I'll ever finish Fusion again, because the navigation room scenes are so tedious to sit through.

The castlevania games that went heavy into plot did a much better job I think, I love the story in both Curse of Darkness and Lament of Innocence, Lament probably has the best "story" of any metroid or castlevania. (People seem to like the Lords of Shadow plot as well, I never finished it though, didn't like the gameplay.)

Bloodstained also arguably went "heavy" into its plot, and it wasn't that great, but I'd give it points for several good late-game twists.
