Wonderboy Dragon's Trap

This is a good Metroidygar.
Fun Fact: The genre is called "Metroidygar" because Rygar added RPG elements.

Blaster Master

The original SotN experiment.

>>8906438
Rygar isnt really a metroidvania, the stages are still pretty linear and the top view land is more of a hub world, most of it is also jank.

>>8906423
>metroidvanias
Please kill yourself now

>>8906423
NES was full of metroidvanias

>>8906530
You'd rather have them called Search Action games?

>>8906423
That looks like Maximo's artist.

>>8906541
Actually I'd rather have them called Search! Action! games.

>>8906558
You're right. That guy's done a lot of great art.

Castlevania II

>>8906539
>>8906530
Stop talking about metroidvanias. I am not going to play your SoTN super metroid inspired game or your Earthbound inspired game.

>>8906521
Jeremy Parish himself called Rygar the "first NES metroidygar".
Fun Fact: The genre is called "Metroidygar" because Rygar added RPG elements.
Rygar is a non-linear platformer-adventure where you acquire new abilities to reach new areas.

zelda ii

>Metroidvania

Metroidvania = Metroid + Castlevania, the later referring to the RPG elements brought by SotN

If it doesn't have RPG elements, it's not a Metroidvania, it's just a Metroid. Metroid is not a Metroidvania, it's a Metroid.

Calling Metroid-likes "Metroidvania" is as incorrect as calling House of the Dead or Parasite Eve "survival horror", but that's also a thing.

Jeremy parish is a basedcuck

>>8906518
Isn't this the one where you play as Mikie? Why is Leo on the cover?

>>8906594
You can spam attack constantly respawning enemies in the first level and max out your health bar.

>>8906996
Don't you just love RPGs?

>>8906565

Oh jesus here come the shitlers

>>8906594
>>8906438
I need to play this game. should I go for the Japanese version?

>>8907056
Can't see why you would...

Have fun

>>8907078
I was under the impression the Japanese version featured saving or at least passwords

>>8906512
Yes, Blaster Master is definitely awesome. That music too. So good!

>>8906423
Ufouria/Hebereke on the NES

Luckily games weren't really tainted by this awful genre yet back then

dragon buster on the famicom

Adventure Island 4 on NES

>>8907189
"Metroidvania" per se no, but there were a shit ton of Metroid-likes

>>8907209
>separate beds
what an ungrateful rotten bitch, multiple games of saving your ass in and the least you can do is service your husband every night for the rest of your life to make up for all that hell

>>8906518
>Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles instead of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

>>8906594
>nes rygar
>nonlinear
lol
SMB is less linear than Rygar. Don't get me wrong. I love Rygar (except the music in Dorago's Palace), but claiming it's anything but linear is just silly.

>>8907078
If one of the different music tracks is Dorago's Palace, that might fix the only bad thing about the game.

>Jeremy Parish
who?

Rygar manual

tl;dr get good to have fun

>Fun Fact: The genre is called "Metroidygar" because Rygar added RPG elements.

The Japanese call them "Tansakuvanias" for the "exploration" element.

>>8907707
More like belt questing

>>8906565
What about my game where a boy with a baseball bat explores a gothic castle?
and/or a vampire explores a suburban neighborhood

>>8906423
Dr. Chaos

>>8907773
that would be pretty cool

>>8906530
>MUH SPECCY!!!!

>>8906512
the game is way better than Metroid

>>8907435
I think Europe was kinda over ninjas, they were on to the next cool thing by then, heros.

>>8906423
Wonder Boy the Dragon's Trap created every mechanic that is supposed to special in SotN.

Apart from it's graphics SotN is utterly unremarkable in gaming history and is popular for hipster reasons.

Once you get the pulley+crossbow, can't you choose between three areas to go?
>If one of the different music tracks is Dorago's Palace, that might fix the only bad thing about the game.
The entire soundtrack is different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QllOiXFpigA

>>8906438
I've been meaning to play Rygar for the longest time.

>>8908685
>Wonder Boy the Dragon's Trap
I'm glad this game was so short because it was lame.

>>8909135
>Rygar's JP OST is different

How many games had that even?

>>8909135
I still preffer some of the tracks in the US version.

Multiple background layers on MY NES?

Nope, it's just sprites. Looks amazing though.

Someone needs to make a romhack that fixes the hit detection on shit like ropes, doors, pulleys, etc

it all sucks ass

>my game where a boy with a baseball bat explores
Where
