Opinions:
-- Shovel Knight: I played the original game but not any of the
expansions. Excellent homage to Megaman, very well designed,
even though I never really came back
-- Metroid 2 -- Specifically, the fanmade version of it that
Nintendo tried to kill. Balls hard. Absolutely epic music. It's
rare that a game is made with this much love.
-- The Power -- A masterclass in metroidvania world design. Can
navigate the whole map with ease, without getting lost and
without the need for a fast travel system.
[/quote]
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 9[sup]th[/sup] 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 :))

WHAT?![/li][li]Immortals of Aveum gameplay clip. An FPS with
magic? A magical FPS? A romantic dinner for two technogremlins?
You be the judge~[/li][li]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*[/li][li]Coming in the fourth quarter of this year to the
PlayStation 5, is Honkai Star Rail.[/li][li]Black Desert Online

Yoshi are playable. Coming 20 October.
Super Mario RPG from the SNES? That's getting a remake due for
about 17 November. Who saw this coming?

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.
