If you ever make the time, I do recommend trying out Shovel
Knight's DLC campaigns. Plague of Shadows plays differently
though the levels are mostly the same. Spectre of Torment and
King of Cards are an improvement over Plague of Shadows due to
the levels being built around their character's unique abilities
rather than the same journey with a different character and a
new final boss.
Ah yes, AM2R. I've heard good things about it and it's a shame
that Nintendo tried to kill them off so they could promote
Metroid: Samus Returns. I hear that the same fate befell Pokemon
Uranium but it's possible that both fangames may've been
recovered.

Can add Lone Fungus to that list of Metroidvanias that Ray's
been playing.
Pre-double hard-drive failure last year October… there was.
Like. A crisp-ton of Metroidvanias on it. The ones I can
remember for the PC…
I got pretty far in Axiom Verge the first, haha.
Cave Story, well, yeah.
Monster Sanctuary, I got pretty far on a randomized run.
Shovel Knight, never got too far. ;-;
Wings of Vi, never got past boss number one. Like. Could've at
least made it a lot easier or something. I think I only
downloaded it for the customization, though I might be mistaken
(and I'm already Miss Taken).
An Untitled Story was fun if tough, though I didn't know it's by
the same developer of Celeste (which I did finish, kinda).
Within a Deep Forest… isn't that a game made by Nifflas, creator
of Knytt and Knytt Stories? I think I've finished that game, at
least, as well as the latter two.
Got pretty far in both Alwa's Awakening and Alwa's Legacy; I
loved those games.
Cathedral, I at least got as far as that sword in the forest-y
place. Or further, at some tower boss or something. I don't
remember.
I made lots of progress in Catmaze but got stuck down a well and
at a boss, haha.
Chasm, I've finished that already.
Fortune Summoners - Secret of the Elemental Stone… I think I got
to the first boss already. I'm not sure, though.
Iconoclasts, got to the part after the moon. Yeah, that's a lot
of progress that I lost last year. ;-;
Iji, well, I've finished version 1.5, but not version 1.8 (the
one currently on the computer).
La-Mulana 2, I only got as far as beating four Guardians
(Fafnir, Vritra, Kujata, Jormungand). Terrible, compared to my
playthrough on this computer - I've gotten all the Guardians
down except the 9th Child. This includes the DLC Guardian, haha.
Minoria? Didn't get too far, I think.
Momodora games, never finished any of them, but I did decent in
one or two of them, I believe.
Poacher, I don't remember how much progress I made, but it was
more than my current save.
TimeSpinner, I think I've finished it.
Valdis Story - Abyssal City, I made decent progress with one
character but messed up. I think I was stuck in some underground
area.
A lot of stuff I'm gonna have to redo when I finally feel like
it, but oh well~
Assuming I don't get beaten to it, anyway.
I'm excluding any Metroidvanias for the 3DS, DS, Game Boy, Game
Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, NES, PS1, PS2, PSP, SNES,
and whatever other platforms I'd emulate.
I don't remember most of their names anyway :))

year, being a new FPS and all. I hope there are gas mask girls--
*shot again*

there isn't even a dragon in this one's name. :p

- Upcoming isometric action RPG Path of Exile 2 has a short
gameplay snippet with a mage using lightning magic on monsters.
We'll find out more on July 28, but I don't know if anyone cares
or not. I'm just putting these out here in case. Or in case I
learn something I like is in these games-- *shot a third time*
- Exoprimal (launching 14 July) is getting a crossover with
Street Fighter 6 (this Fall - so Spring for us Southern
Hemisphere folks). And it's the first Capcom Collab with Mecha
Ryu--?!
- Lies of P is coming in September, but there's a demo with the
first two chapters already, apparently. I'm not into Souls-like
games. Too difficult.
- Netflix has revealed a The Witcher season 3 trailer. Ciri
takes center stage, whoever that is.
- Three-player co-op throughout the campaign of Warhammer 40k:
Space Marine 2. Sometime this summer (or winter, for you
Northern Hemisphere friends and family).
- Well, this is unexpected: Nicolas Cage is coming to Dead By
Daylight, and apparently he's never been involved in the video
game industry before? Well, either way, this is gonna be
interesting-- probably.
- Coming next year, at some point, is a sequel to Yes, Your
Grace, bearing the name Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall. I'd make a
terrible ruler, so I'm staying out of this one regardless of
whether or not there's a lovely lady that-- *shot a fourth time*
- Coming to early access in September, is Witchfire. Which is
going to have a spooky fog-filled forest. Couldn't it have been
poi-- *shot a fifth and sixth time*
- Remnant 2, coming late next month. With procedurally-generated
levels and storylines-- wait, WHAT?!
- Immortals of Aveum gameplay clip. An FPS with magic? A magical
FPS? A romantic dinner for two technogremlins? You be the judge~
- Under the Waves comes out on 29 August, with an underwater
setting. I can't swim, and there's nothing worth-- *gets shot a
seventh, eighth, and ninth time*
- Coming in the fourth quarter of this year to the PlayStation
5, is Honkai Star Rail.
- Black Desert Online gets an expansion on 14 June. So, next
week Wednesday. Also, ye gods is this a lengthy post or what? :p
- Rewinding time in a hack-and-slash game? Well, Lysfanga: The
Time-Shift Warrior has that, coming later this year apparently.
- Coming on the 8th day of September, is FaeFarm. Both to the
Nintendo Switch and the PC.
- A new trailer for Throne and Liberty, an MMORPG. Lame.
- We're getting adorable animals brawling it out in Party
Animals on 20 September. I want to pummel anyone who would hurt
a cat.
- Porsche and Xbox will be partnering up for a collection of
Xbox Series X consoles, themed after Porsche cars, but not for
sale. You can get a chance to win one by entering a sweepstakes.
(I imagine these would be even more expensive than the normal
ones, then.)
- Oh yeah, and Lunar Shadow RE:Awaken will be released on 18
December 2023, featuring a Respirator Valkyrie as she awakens a
new sentience within her and has to struggle between her base
instincts as a Bloom Beast and a new sentient being wearing a
cute respirator-- *gets shot a tenth, eleventh, twelfth and
thirteenth time for making this one up*
* drops to the floor, riddled with bullets *

So for the Super Mario RPG remake, I assume that Nintendo and
Square Enix have finally sorted through the legal issues related
to that game's characters. I'm at least hoping that they'll keep
the Culex fight in the game and it'd be a shame if it got
removed. Also having Luigi as a party member would be neat,
though it might not happen.
