Mega Man, Metroid or Castlevania?

Which franchise do you like best

For me its really close but I think Mega Man.

I've never been a particularly big fan of either Metroid or Castlevania.  The only Mega Man games I really like are the early X games and the Legends games.

Castlevania. Love me some Castlevania. Mind you I've only played the start of Super Metroid and Metroid Prime so yeah. But I think I'd still prefer Castlevania either way. I love the whole aesthetic and the music and the campiness and the awesome new gameplay mechanics in each game and mmm-mm.

Not a big fan of Mega Man personally.

Can't WAIT for Bloodstained.

Castlevania!

Mega Man is definitely my favorite of those three. The only Metroid games I really enjoy are Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Zero Mission.

Why choose?

[telly]

I guess Mega Man for me, though I've only played one Castlevania and Metroid game each

That's a tough one, Mega Man for me.

Gotta go with Castlevania. The soundtrack and graphics/art design beat out the others, concerning my personal taste.

I've wanted to like Metroid, but it just doesn't have that same epic quality that other sci-fi movies/etc. have.

Mega Man, no question.

With Castlevania, the only games I really enjoy are the Metroid-vania style ones. Which is interesting because I could never get into the Metroid series.

Series in order top to bottom.

Megaman - OG, 2D Megaman or Megaman X. I want to beat bosses and get power ups. None of this free-roaming or Legends type of stuff.

Castlevania - OG, 2D vampire slaying. Let me whip the shit out of the undead. No need to whip in 3 dimensions. 8 ways was plenty. I really fell off after bloodlines. I need to play Symphony of the Night. 

Metroid -OG, 2D lonely exploration.  I just want to kill Mother Brain and get off this planet!  The Prime games sucked ass. Metroid isn't 1st person.  Pfft.

That's how I feel about the series. With that said, Super Metroid is the best game.

Castlevania for me the classic 2D and the rpg's titles.

Metroid is way inferior to the castlevania series. In my opinion the rpg titles should just be called castlevania games and not metroidvania since the differences are really notable. Same genre but it's way to different for my taste. Still great games though.

2nd place goes to mega man.
