Omfg I can’t believe I forgot about this one. Ecco the Dolphin metroidvania!
Check out “Aquaria”. Not quite the same thing, but a Metroidvania playing as a mermaid with song powers. Lots of boss fights! And you can even breech the surface when you get there!
Duuuude! Megaman would also be AMAZING as a Metroidvania!
If you’re not aware, Megaman Zero series, and Megaman ZX games are pretty much metroidvanias.
There’s also the fanmade Megaman X Corrupted which is reimagining the Megaman X games as a metroidvania.
Splatoon. You could definitely come up with plenty of cool movement abilities to unlock. And in general I just want to see the IP explored in all kinds of directions. If the franchise had debuted a generation earlier, I keep imagining what kind of straight-to-handheld companion title it would’ve gotten.
Commander Keen metroidvania?
Great list. Donkey Kong Country is especially appealing for me. Let’s throw mario in there too while we’re at it. I think that could work well.
I’d like to see a red dead redemption set in the early wild west.
Resident evil 2d Metroidvania.
The game is already genre adjacent. It would work so well.
Biohazard might as well be a metroidvania.
It already exists, but the sands of time Metroidvania “Lost Crowns” was surprisingly good.
Punch-Out!
Lol, that’d be interesting. Would the whole thing take place in that semi-first-person perspective?
Imagine Little Mac training animation with his coach.
He trains by roaming the city, confronting street gangs, fleeing dangerous dogs and finding training rooms to recruit opponents to qualify for the real fights…
HELL YEAH! A SONIC METROIDVANIA!! 🔥🔥🔥
I guess Sonic Adventure 1 has a little bit of this, with the hub worlds. New abilities can allow you to reach new places in the hub worlds
Yeah! That’s why I KNOW a full Metroidvania sonic game would be the greatest thing ever!
SA1 is still my favorite in the series
On my top 5 for sure.
Sonic Adventure 1 is my favorite Sonic game. I was thinking more along the lines of a 2d sidescrolling Sonic metroidvania though.
Yeah, a Sonic metroidvania with gameplay akin to Ori and the Blind Forest would be absolutely top-tier. Ori was largely focused on movement instead of combat, just like the side-scrolling Sonic games typically have been.
Earthworm Jim
Please someone do anything with this franchise. I can even tolerate an open world live service game of Earthworm Jim.
Tomb raider in 2d metrodivania would be cool.
Same with maybe Doom?
Tomb Raider would be perfect for a metroidvania. Good suggestion.
Oooh, another one: Demon’s Crest.
