| Topic | Nintendo officially endorses "Search Action" as a genre name |
| foolm0r0n 08/08/21 9:24:56 AM #59: | Kenri posted... Melee combat, visible stats, usable items, non-essential armor and weapons, enemy drops, NPCs, a viewable bestiary -- all of these are things SotN brought in.And none have anything to do with Metroid. Literally the only reason it's called Metroidvania is because there's a Metroid-like map and abilities. So the term just means Metroid-like. The vania part is nonsense that has confused the genre. NeatoAnAccount posted... Metroidvania conveys genre because metroidvania is a word in the language english that means "game like metroid"That's why the lack of awareness in statements like these are pretty surprising. Why the hell do you want to keep the "vania" if it's meaningless at best? Just say Metroid-like. Been doing that for years and it's way more clear. Or SOTN-like if you mean the things kenri mentioned. And if you want a broader genre than "similar to this one game", then exploration action is perfect. btw you know you agree with me right? You repeated my exact point but worse. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ... Copied to Clipboard! |
