-
My picks:
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Final Fantasy
- Donkey Kong Country
- Jazz Jackrabbit
- Lost Vikings
- Earthworm Jim
- This X-Men game.

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
-
Tomb raider in 2d metrodivania would be cool.
Same with maybe Doom?
-
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.
-
Oooh, another one: Demon's Crest.
-
The Lost Vikings as a Metroidvania would be ridiculous.
3 characters have to spit up & collect things so they can come back together and use their combined efforts to progress...
-
Yeah, I didn't consider that. The game would probably have to design the map in a way that keeps all the characters relatively nearby, or introduce a mechanic for them to converge more seamlessly, like maybe having save rooms that teleport all of them together or something.

Earthworm Jim
Please someone do anything with this franchise. I can even tolerate an open world live service game of Earthworm Jim.
-
My first thoughts were Final Fantasy because you have all the enemies you need. And they've already branched out into monster catching and Souls-like. So might as well.
My second thought was X-men because the Genesis games were already kinda built for that.
-
Isn't the creator/owner problematic?
-
Commander Keen metroidvania?
-
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.
