first off i agree, prime is way better, but how is super metroid not a metroidvania

you go around a map and collect stuff just like fusion, or the not 3d castelvanias

Prime is a tier 1 video game take my word I've had many Samus avs

I'm glad they got actual good commentators for this race this time. It was kinda garbage the last couple times

There was that Starcraft 2 one, that was pretty bad. Probably ff8 or 9 though

How many years has it been since Super Metroid saw any routing tweaks?

isn't what they're doing a route tweak? They didn't do Phantoon as the first boss at the previous *GDQs, unless you count the RBO they did at AGDQ2016

I thought metroidvanias were the wacky Metroid x Castlevania spin-off games like that fighting game :confused:

Nah, Metroidvania means the Castlevania games with Metroid exploration. The term also works for games that took cues from SOTN, I suppose - not outright Metroid poo poo, but games with RPG elements, equipment and poo poo. At least that's how I use it.
