Games franchises that need metroidvania spinoffs?
-
Dunno, but if that's true, then ideally the rights would be bought and used by people who don't suck, or maybe there could be a spiritual successor.

Trine is the modern day Lost Vikings. You just switch characters on the fly.
-
It is? Fuck
-
Yeah, I guess he's really transphobic and every time someone reaches out to talk about Earthworm Jim, he gets really weird and political.
-
Resident evil 2d Metroidvania.
The game is already genre adjacent. It would work so well.
-
I'm just picturing big chambers like Super Metroid, and the characters moving around testing things to see what happens, then putting it together. (Maybe a zoom out button, or the map screen being relatively detailed.) So it could be very similar to the original, just "more". You'd just need a few sets of puzzles in every chamber, for when they backtrack and revisit areas. Mind you I'm not saying it's easy to design good levels and puzzles, especially in such a large scale, just that it's easy for me to imagine it being fun.

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.
-
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.
-
Tomb Raider would be perfect for a metroidvania. Good suggestion.
-
Biohazard might as well be a metroidvania.
-
Jesus Christ, is there any bit of nostalgia left that's not tainted by those lunatics?
At least I still Harry Potter.
-
Yeah, a Sonic game 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.
-
Punch-Out!
-
It already exists, but the sands of time Metroidvania "Lost Crowns" was surprisingly good.
-
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...
-
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!
