After we made this ridiculous long list kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKt4pZhtYbeueNo.html thinking it would be a one off, you guys asked for more all encompassing lists so we thought why not! We started with one of my favourite genres which is Metroidvanias and I got James & Jordan in on the action. We worked super hard on this and tried our very best to include as many Metroidvania games here so you will find something you like. If you can do us a favour we would be greatful. If you enjoy our work please smash that like button and the best thing you can do is share videos like this with a friend or 10! You have no idea how much it helps and we appreciate your help very much. On that note please do let the community know if we missed any games that should be here and if we should do more lists like this! Thank you all. Juan, James & Jordan

Love this list! Easily the most comprehensive list of the genre that has, in many ways, come to define the Switch. MAJOR props for getting Touhou Luna Nights in there, stellar game! I would say that there are five games that should be on list that are out that have enough Metroidvania elements that they should be on this list! 1- Phoenotopia Awakening, not a lot of people picked this up on release and it's a huge shame, the game is an absolute masterpiece. It's not a straight metroidvania as there is an overworld that connects areas (like zelda 2), but there is ability gated progression with huge amounts of exploration, secrets, fantastic boss fights, honestly a hidden gem given how few people seem to have actually bought it. 2- Unworthy, shadowy, souls-like metroidvania with a focus on tough combat and unique weaponry. 3- Grizzland- really cool short metroidvania done up in Atari-age graphics that is a lot of fun. 4- Alwa's Legacy: SNES-style sequel to Alwa's Awakening. 5- Cathedral- newly released NES style adventure set in a crumbling cathedral, fantastic old-school fun! A few upcoming Metroidvanias to look out for this year- The Last Faith, super traditional castlevania style metroidvania. Gestalt: Steam and Cinder, a steampunk metroidvania with some gorgeous pixel art, Greak: Memories of Azur, a 3 party platform exploration game with metroidvania elements, Rune Fencer Illyia, a sword and sorcery metroidvania, and Rubi: The Wayward Mira, a really cool fantasy sci-fi metroidvania set in a dystopian future. In 2022: Vernal Edge, a fast-paced metroidvania focusing on some really cool looking swordplay, and Savior, a gorgeously realized bo-staff combat metroidvania that has one of the most impressive and immersive trailers I've ever seen.

I had an idea the other day. You know how you can use AI now to paint pictures and write books? Well... How about a multiplayer AI created metroidvania! You describe your character, and the AI creates a totally unique and different character with unique abilities for every person. Like "collects the 78 cards of the tarot and combines them to use different spells and abilities." Or "lovecraftian sorcerer evoking creatures of evil and invoking them to gain great power." The AI could continuously generate new areas and items so that the game becomes limitless, meanwhile the world at large attempts to overcome great challenges, such as defeating a super boss together to open up new portions of the multiplayer world. Also, i don't know if it's possible, but i would love if you could just tell the AI to make "Alucard from symphony of the night" or our favorite nail welding bug smasher et cetera, but i dunno how that would work. I would want smash brothers style PVP added also. Fellas, this would be the game of my dreams... Literally. That's where i got the idea.

Great video guys.love it!

Fantastic list. One I can think of to add would be Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth. It's short and sweet and somehow brings Ikaruga-like mechanics into the genre. You have two states you can swap between that provide different attacks and immunities while feeding each other, creating a really neat action experience. It inherits a LOT from Symphony of the Night, too. Highly recommended.

surprasingly entertaining video love you narration. And timecodes.
