Hey /vr/ What are some of the Metroid predecessors? Action/Adventure games with non linear exploration, a large interconnected map, back tracking, and the fundamental rule to collect items, upgrades or skills in order to open doors, navigate obstacles, access new sections of the map and make progress in the game.

Doesn't predate Metroid, but it actually has proper metroidvania shit in it.

Its map layout was actually repurposed for multiple metroidvania titles, most notably with the long fall in the middle, water segment at the bottom and the twisty corridor in a top corner.

this isn't really a predecessor since it came out around the same time but I always thought of it as the Sega version of metroid
it was a licensed game from an anime surprisingly enough, also the sega light gun was modeled from the gun in this series

the sequel got rid of all the puzzles and freedom of movement and turned into a one-way platform scroller/vehicle scroller with semi-forced scrolling and evil opa-opa bats that you can't hit
some people might like it, I didn't though
the new bosses were interesting but that's all
