Over Metroidvania of course. Castletroid rolls off the tongue better (fact) and is easier to type (imo)

Is it simply because Metroid defined the genre thus it gets the name first?

Nobody would know what you're talking about if you said that.

Metroid is right in the name of Metroidvania, and since they know you're talking about video games, the -vania tells them you're talking about Castlevania.

Castletroid doesn't immediately tell you anything. You have to have it explained the first time before you get what it's saying.

Two reasons

1 Metroid was doing that gameplay style first.

2 Castleroid sounds like a disease.

Okay to be fair Metroidvania sounds like a disease just as much

Castleroid sounds like a really severe form of hemorrhoids

Basically this. The Castle doesn't say much, it becomes clearer when you get to the "troid" part but Metroidvania is much better at instantly cluing you into the game you are talking about.

I mean, I doubt anyone outside the gaming community will know what either means so kind of a moot point.
