Since I was born in the late eighties, I was raised playing Mega Man. I would only play Castlevania later on PS1. I do not have interest in Metroid series.

In the following order: Mega Man was part of my childhood well at least the first five titles, purchased the last one a couple of years ago and now that I remember haven't finished it yet, Metroid because I love Samus Aran in that zero suit, nah am kidding but seriously I started to love the franchise since the release of the Super Metroid, the music of this game still gets on my nerves and Castlevania at last place and not only in this list, at any list, only own the three cartridges from the NES because a friend insisted that much that I needed to have the trilogy, I really don't give a crap about this series  ;D

I don't want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy

Castlevania for me although my favorite game of all 3 of the franchises is Super Metroid - what a perfect game.

I'll break ranks here. This is how they stack up for me in order.

Metriod Prime, Super Metriod, Zero Mission, Castlevania Symphony of the Night (PSP), Castlevania 2, Castlevania 3, Castlevania 1, Mega Man III, Mega Man II, Mega Man I.

Yeah, I'm weird.

Update. The best metriodvania platformer is missing from the options.

As of this post I have to say it's Shantae. :)

But Super Metriod and Zero Mission are very close.

What I like about Shantae is they weren't afraid to change up controls and abilities completely each game. Same formula, but unique mechanics each game not just slightly tweaked mechanics.

Also they've done a great job of making the adventure much less lonely than the other franchises through some very entertaining non-playable characters.

Lastly each game is deliberately telling a story with a much longer arc than any one game can contain.

The Shantae sequels feel like they exist because there is more story to be told, not simply more money to be milked.

I can't believe I waited so long to play this game.

And for all the good I've said about Shantae, Ori and the Blind Forest is every bit as good!

The classics at last have some very worthy current gen competition!

I played and finished both Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.

Playing the GBA one now.
