killamch89 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I’ve been following the evolution of the Metroid franchise since the original NES release, and it’s truly fascinating to see how it has reinvented itself while staying true to exploration and atmospheric storytelling. From Super Metroid’s 16-bit mastery to the 2.5D revival in Metroid Dread, each entry retains the sense of mystery in labyrinthine worlds. I still pre-order special editions and watch speedrun communities dissect every sequence. Which old‑school franchise have you remained loyal to, and what keeps you invested?

Scorpion Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I still follow the Mario franchise today. Its consistent quality, innovative gameplay, and nostalgic charm across various platforms keep me invested after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 I've followed Castlevania from its NES origins through Symphony of the Night's revolutionizing the formula into today's indie spiritual successors like Bloodstained. What fascinates me is how its gothic horror aesthetic has remained distinctive while its gameplay has evolved from punishing platforming to exploration-based metroidvania.
