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.

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?

[-] robbinhood@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

Resident evil 2d Metroidvania.

The game is already genre adjacent. It would work so well.

Biohazard might as well be a metroidvania.

HELL YEAH! A SONIC METROIDVANIA!! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

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

[-] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah! That's why I KNOW a full Metroidvania sonic game would be the greatest thing ever!

[-] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 week ago

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.

Isn't the creator/owner problematic?

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Jesus Christ, is there any bit of nostalgia left that's not tainted by those lunatics?

At least I still Harry Potter.
