Alright, let's cut the crap. It's my favorite genre but at least 90% of the games are amateur dog shit or have some annoying gimmick that defeats the purpose.
This is the real list. Only these are worth playing:
>Super Metroid
>Metroid Zero Mission
>Metroid Fusion
>Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
>Castlevania (all of the GBA and DS games)
Both of the above series turned to garbage after these. There are a few indie games that come close to being "alright" but it's honestly just cope from people like me who are desperate for more absolute classics like what I listed. None of them are actually as good. And even out of those I listed, Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night put the other sequels to shame. So all of these years later it STILL just comes down to those two games, and everything else is just tolerable at best.
