Looking for more 1up ?
There’s NO SUCH THING as Metroidvania!
Never have I heard this name/term used so much ever since the announcement of the new XBLA game Shadow Complex. Now I see stories and articles are led with this made up and fake genre. Just seems like one big mistake made by a not-in-the-know developer and the rest of the press just followed suit. Hooray for bloggers!!! What’s my beef with this term being thrown around? Well for the most part, it isn’t accurate...
1up, army of two, castleroids, castlevania, castlevania II: simon's quest, Gears of War, metroid, metroidvania, michael bay, NES, nintendo entertainment system, shadow complex
