BakonBitz 10/07/21 10:24:07 PM #4:	I'm indifferent about it. If they end up changing the term to something that makes sense and isn't tied to specific franchises then I'd welcome it, but right now I'm okay with using the term. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA <cite>BakonBitz posted [p:958815422] in Do you lik...

The Popo 10/07/21 10:37:28 PM #13:	I ultimately dont care about it, but it really seems to me like its was a Metroid thing first, and then Castlevania started doing it years later.

Xethuminra 10/07/21 10:46:44 PM #20:	Metroidsouls Castlevania is just, like, you know....? It doesnt even really use the formula. They had one game where it really worked so well that it became legend. And the others so forgettable for the most part, that people have just kind of come to associate Castlevania with the Metroidvania style, but really is very rarely even tries to use it. 99% if the time, the games are level based w/ linear progression.
