Where do you fall, classic Castlevania (nes, genesis, snes) or Metroidvania (psx, gba, ds, ps2)? (hexbear.net)

I've always been a Metroidvania head since SOTN was my first. Then I went on to Aria of Sorrow and beat it a couple times, mucked around with the 3D games on PS2 (didn't really grab me). Today I fired up Harmony of Dissonance and it's great so far, checking all the boxes that make the Metroidvania's tick.

The classic games where always too tough for me to find enjoyable. I have to savescum my way through 1 because I suck.
