It's called Metroidvania in Japan too. The dude who tried to claim otherwise just misunderstood an article because he doesn't know Japanese.

The "Metroid" part of Metroidvania has done most of the legwork, it shouldn't have to put up with sharing half of the name with a series that lost its way decades ago.

I officially vote for the new name to be "Metroidia" games

It had its best selling title a year ago.

When was the last real castlevania game?

There was a literal decade between Samus Returns and Metroid Prime 3. Until very recently, people were talking about Metroid like it was in a coffin

I'd argue indies have been doing the legwork for both of these lagging franchises

"actually, they should be referred to as 'Zeldavania' as the director of Symphony of the Night has stated that A Link to the Past was his inspiration, not Super Metroid"

Kirby and the amazing mirror is my favorite metroidvania.

Also I've never played another metroidvania.

This.

It's just a dumb genre label. We don't call fighting games "streettekkens".
