A lot of people consider Symphony of the Night to be the greatest Willyvania of all time, why? Harmony of Dissonance is superior in literally every way.
>>12577204Aria of Sorrow is the peak of Willyvanias
>>12577212I prefer Harmony (with a patch to remove the glow around Juste)
Aria condenses the best of both into one, making it the superior willyvania
>>12577204they are all incredibly boring fucking games that lack the appeal of a classicvania OR a metroid game just being a shitty casualized version of both
>>12577290Matthew Smith’s Jet Set Willy (and Manic Miner before it) came out in 1984. It had a massive, interconnected, non-linear map where you had to explore, backtrack, and find items to progress. Metroid didn't hit the Famicom Disk System until August 1986.By all laws of chronological priority, the entire genre is a Willyvania. Metroid is irrelevant.
>>12577290Why yes moving like a retard just shit his pants and shooting pellets that do shit damage was never fun and I'm glad Willyvanias got rid of that
muh minerzuma meme
>>12577524It does all the things a so called 'Metroidvania' is supposed to (and better, in fact. And being that it predates Metroid the genre should indeed be called Willyvania)The fact some Amerimutt nerd Jeremy Parish fanboys who made that site don't know of ZX Spectrum games is indicative of jack shit, so not sure why you even posted that image.
>>12577537Exquisite snare for the unwashed plebs my fellow divergent fluid friend.
>>12577293Ah yes because these names are determined by what chronologically came first, and not by which game had the bigger cultural impact. We should start calling all roguelikes "apple manorlikes" and all doom clones "maze war clones" as well
>>12577204It's a good willyvania no doubt but it pales in comparison to Aria.
>>12578120The incorrect name 'Metroidvania' was coined by Scott Sharkey of 1Up.com and popularized by Jeremy Parish (also of 1Up at the time). Two retards who had obviously never played ZX Spectrum. So who decides the ''cultural impact" here? Two game journos? Scott used it as a throwaway joke term on the 1Up forums and Jeremy liked it so much he ran with it. That's the origin. Two mutts who clearly had a blind spot for the ZX Spectrum who did it first (and better)
>>12578645>oi me speccy roightI never thought there would be a time to use this tired meme seriously. I was wrong.
>>12577215Why would you remove his CHAD aura?
>>12578845It's an eyesore. This is the kino way to play.
>>12578863>Can't unsee how Juste always hovers one pixel off the ground when the aura is removed
>>12578868It's drawn dark to be the soles of his boots in game, that image just doesn't show it really.
>>12578880No, he really is hovering. It's more noticeable when he's in a brighter background.
>>12578645>who decides the "cultural impact" here?The people who continue to refer to them. That's what culture is. It's subjective by definition.
>>12577293What did the items do?
>>12579000You can't progress to the Master Bedroom without them.
>>12578985Okay, nonce.
>>12579005And what do they besides that?
>>12577293>>12578645OI DAS ROIGHT BLOODY FOOKIN YANKS THINK THEY INVENTED EVERYTHIN FUKIN WANKERS THEY'VE NEVA SEEN THE LUSH GLORY OF THE SPECCY FUKIN TOSSERS WUT DO THEY KNOW
>>12577204Yeah you really have to love those endless, zig-zagging hallways that go nowhere.
I find it to be more of a Willynician
>>12579046How so?
>>12577204It's not even in the top 5 willyvanias let alone the best
>>12577204Harmony of Dissonance's soundtrack is amazing, and I'm including the raw soundfont as part of that
>>12578863Bruh, I know this is just another low effort tranny Smith made thread but, get this instead, Joanata Guitar fucks up and goes too dark in places and even washed out on others.Meanwhile there's this already.https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9086/Even fixes some of the horrid animations.
>>12579416Nice, thanks friend!
>>12577204Alucard is so pretty
