Both are great series, but which do you prefer altogether?

Couldnt get into Castlevania. Metroid is pretty cool.
Hello there! I am a signature. I'm kinda surprised you're even reading me, to be honest. Most people wouldn't bother. You're better than that though. Thank you.

Castlevania for me.

I love me some Super, Fusion, Prime and Dread, but IV, Rondo, Symphony, Aria, Dawn and Order of Ecclesia are just better to me.

Castlevania

Even before SotN cemented it, I was absolutely obsessed with Simon's Quest when I got it and played it all the time.

NES: Castlevania
GB: Metroid
SNES: Metroid
GBA (and all handhelds going forward): Castlevania
N64/PS: Castlevania, no contest
Gamecube/PS2: Metroid
Everything going forward: Castlevania

Overall: Castlevania. Pound for pound it beats Metroid with two notable losses on the SNES gen and Gamecube gen.

Metroid is technically the more consistently good series (outside of Other M, which I still like), but I find that the best Castlevania games are better than the best Metroid games.

Castlevania, but I wouldn't call either series a favorite. The game I like the most from either series was Aria of Sorrow.

Metroid has consistent quality with only two or three bad games, but Castlevania has several genuine bad ones.

But I also prefer the Metroidvania ones over Metroid because I like Castlevania's RPG elements. But I also don't care much for the classic CV style.

Overall Castlevania, though it would be incredibly hard to decide between Super Metroid and Symphony of The Night.

I like Metroid more. The games click better to me.

I just couldnt seem to get the patterns for certain bosses with Castlevania. I need to go back and retry now that I think about it

Never really played any games from either franchise.

I've been meaning to check out some Castlevania though because I played Bloodstained: RotN a while back and quite enjoyed it.

Bloodstained is basically a love letter to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
