>Iwata recalled, "We examined nearly every game console then on the market, including machines we imported from other parts of the world, such as the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, but none of them had the graphics fidelity we wanted. We came up with the idea for the game pad as we were worried that children could break conventional joysticks too easily. We were a bit obsessive about that; the Famicom's controller buttons were tested with a machine punch and pressed more than 1 million times, and still worked afterward."[45]

This proves that Gunpei Yokoi stole the idea for Metroid from Jet Set Willy, which came out in 1984.

Damn you're spamming at a quick rate today, mentally ill shitposter.
I appreciate your effort into making fake quotes, but do a bit of research first, Iwata wasn't a Nintendo employee at the time, nor had any participation in the creation of the Famicom.
Nobody outside of brit trash knew/care about that game, but nah: Metroid had scrolling and coherent design. It wasn't inspired by Jet Bong Willie.

All I see is a bunch of disjointed screens, and I know that the game couldn't do scolling at all.
Spectrum is great for poking fun at and making memes out of it, but when you start being too retarded about the memes, it loses its charm. You need to be more subtle.

Is there a mod that adds scrolling at least? Because until then, that game is not any more "Metroidvania" than Adventure on the Atari. And even if you mod it, the scrolling wouldn't magically happen back in 1984.
So: no, it's not the creator of the genre. Jet Set Willie is just another britjank for the Spectrum, and nothing else.

Jet Set Willy was the first to have a large interconnected world map the player can explore, though access to parts of the world is often limited by doors or other obstacles that can only be passed once the player has acquired special items, tools, weapons or abilities within the game. Acquiring such improvements can also aid the player in defeating more difficult enemies and locating shortcuts and secret areas, and often includes retracing one's steps across the map.

Arguing about the beginning of Metroidvanias is about as much of a time waste as arguing about the beginning of punk, which is to say you will never come to an agreement because it’s a loose term and there’s always something more obscure that happened earlier that has some ideas related to the main concept
