Article Edit

I've removed Metroid games from the list... Metroid games are generally Metroid-style by definition, and the article notes that some aren't. I've split the list and I also added Eternal Daughter to the list of Other Metroid-style games. Lankybugger 19:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The 2D Metroid games listed belong in this list; the "Metroid Prime" games do not. Metroid 1 and 2 also do not belong in this list. Luvcraft 22:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

Perhaps we should rename this article to 2D Metroid-style Game? Lankybugger 19:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Too awkward. "Metroidvania" is the term most often used for this genre, but the creators of the Castleroid article throw a hissy fit if someone tries to modify the Metroidvania article. Luvcraft 22:22, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I say we do it anyways. It's nice that they feel Metroidvania is somehow "theirs", but I've seen the term used to describe Cave Story. "Metroid-style game" itself is pretty awkward. Lankybugger 14:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd go with the Metroidvania name, too. SAMAS 19:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Metroidvania

This article should be under Metroidvania... The current name is awkward and the term has been used to describe Cave Story, so the use would be valid. Lankybugger 14:35, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've revised the three articles into one slightly longer article under the name of Metroidvania. It's a quick and dirty job for now, but it's on my User Page. Comments would definately be welcome. Lankybugger 23:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
