Also you say we would be leaving out some great games like Mega Man but like Balla put with his list of Mario 8 times would they even have a look in anyway if there vote-able.

Just because not many people will vote for them doesn't mean they don't deserve to be considered.

(It should be Castlevania-like btw not Metroid :Razz:)

I hope you are not serious about that comment, Metroid's structure has always been the same (non-linear exploration) where as Castlevania has not been as the first was a straight up A - B platform game which didn't change until Simon's Quest in 87.

(Unless you count Vampire killer on MSX but that still came out a couple months after the first Metroid & that's why it should be Metroid-like as it was the first of its kind)

No my point was that they should have there own vote to shine a bit like with the indie award talk because there just going to be overlooked by most due to likes of Super Mario World.

I was due to the Razz but I have preferred the Castlevaina games myself of what I've played of both series, I do feel the genre term metroidvania became a thing when there was at least two games in the genre and they happened to be the two.

I think we're over complicating a vote that hasn't even got a host yet, let alone a thread. I think we should just leave it for now and hash it out in its own thread.

Also TWD isn't adventure, it's point and click

It's not a true point and click though as you can move your character, hence adventure.

I thought Zero was going to host.

I'm not going to get angry if someone calls it a metroidvania as I used the term myself for years up until recently & it isn't wrong really but Metroid-like just makes more sense to me.

Not necessarily. If we were going to have a big gaming vote, we would ask the forum for volunteers to host.

Back on-topic, a strong case was made for DKC:TF. I feel I should revisit it, along with Super Mario 3D World; both were relegated to the 'complete' pile once I saw the credits, so the post-game content needs investigating!

I'm not sure that the post-game was all that great for DKCTF. A cheap, one-hit-to-die mode. SM3DW's was top notch, though.
