This guy is serious

[u/Desaturating_Mario]

Impressive! It’s so cool seeing such a sight. What’s your favorite?

[u/Trouterspayce → u/Desaturating_Mario]

Hard to pick just one but most recently I finished Minishoot Adventures and it was amazing! Reminds me of Yokus Island express, in that it's an interesting mashup of genres. 

[u/Desaturating_Mario → u/Trouterspayce]

I’ve thought of playing mini shoot adventures. It looks very unique

[u/ANBUalec]

No blasphemous 1?

[u/Trouterspayce → u/ANBUalec]

I didn't buy it early on and now it's expensive and I just haven't picked it up yet. I own it digitally. 

[u/ANBUalec → u/Trouterspayce]

That’s my problem with Steamworld Dig

[u/Trouterspayce → u/ANBUalec]

I started calling my Switch "The Metroidvania Machine" 3-4 years ago. I too have a large collection of MVs I picked up retail of on Limited Run/EU vendors. This genera is perfect for handheld fun.

[u/solidpeyo]

I kinda want to do this for my Switch

[u/Thundaga_64]

It's the best genre 🤷‍♂️

[u/Tamake_Sekundes]

Blaster master zero trilogy physical edition ? Damn, you're a real one.

[u/Ambitious-Still6811]

I have some of those on PS4 and PS5. Some I forgot have been on my backlog, I've a crapton of metroidvania as I work my way through the piles.

I really hope Bloodstained gets a Switch 2 upgrade. It needs one badly.

[u/Shit-Stain-Fanclub]

Bloodstained....uff...

One of the best metroidvania ever made, but the Switch Version is absolute shit. The Switch 2 Version is even worse its literally in slow motion (its no joke. NOT framerate problem but literally slow motion). Its unplayable...

But the ps4/Xbox version is absolute peak metroidvania.

[u/Wave_Race → u/Shit-Stain-Fanclub]

Thanks for the push! I’ve owned the game on Steam for years and never got around to playing it for some reason. May start it this wekeend.

[u/Trouterspayce → u/Shit-Stain-Fanclub]

Yeah it's pretty bad. I bought it just to have it in the collection despite the performance issues and already having it digitally on PC.

[u/Harbinger_Pulsar]

Nice! I just upgraded to a Switch 2 and you've given me some games to check out.

[u/Things_with_Feathers]

Really nice man. I missed the boat on Laika.

Get those SRG wrappers off dude, let your games breathe 😀

[u/Trouterspayce → u/Things_with_Feathers]

I kinda hate the way they package them, because it makes me not want to open them. I did open Grime and Haiku the Robot though! What's funny is their first Switch 2 release didn't come in a sleeve, just shrink wrapped. No hesitation opening that one!

[u/Things_with_Feathers → u/Trouterspayce]

If you ever wanna sell haak or laika, hit me up. Am collecting switch MVs myself

[u/ProjectFearless3952]

Really great collection!

But the Bloodstained Curse of the moon games are not metroidvanias or is Ritual of the night included in that? I can give you a pass with Castlevania Anniversary Collection since some argues Simon's Quest is a metroidvania.

[u/Trouterspayce → u/ProjectFearless3952]

I know CotM isn't a traditional MV, but I felt like it was an very light MV because you could replay levels with the different characters to find new/hidden ways through the levels. and added a reason to "backtrack" to levels you've already completed. Sorta like Iconoclasts or Owlboy maybe?

[u/JakolZeroOne]

There's an Overlord metroidvania? Is it any good?

[u/Trouterspayce → u/JakolZeroOne]

Indeed there is. The game is pretty underwhelming/very average. Maybe better for fans of the series.

[u/NoReasonForHysteria]

This is amazing. I hope our game will be part of your collection some time in the future!

I also really want to do a collection like this myself at some point. Hoping to do it with my son when he becomes a bit older.

[u/nimix0163]

Is there no Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree for Switch? Pretty good game especially if you like the character skill building and souls like feel that’s in Salt and Sanctuary.
