Ori and the Will of the Wisps was my first ever Metroidvania, and I instantly fell in love with the genre. Thanks for making this video!

Hollow Knight is king, a game everyone needs to experience. The soundtrack is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

For a moment I thought he was going to call Cuphead a Metroidvania.

If you've played a lot of 2D Metroid, then you'll probably love Axiom Verge. My favorite thing about the game is that it'll do that thing where you can't go a certain direction because you can't crawl through a small space, and you think to yourself, "Oh, I need the morph ball equivalent, " but the game never gives you a morph ball. Most of the times when you know how Samus would get through an obstacle, Axiom Verge subverts your expectations and gives you a completely different power to do the job. It seems intentionally designed to surprise Super Metroid fans, and I love it.

I’m a little surprised non of the three Bloodstained games were mentioned. They’re literally Castlevania games with a different name.

Fun fact: Milton Guasti, the creator of AM2R, which was a fan-made remake of Metroid 2 that was infamously shut down by Nintendo, was picked up by Moon Studios (Ori developer) to work as a level designer for Will of the Wisps.

The Switch needs a Castlevania GBA Trilogy Collection *and* a Castlevania DS Trilogy Collection!

And i wouldn't complain about a Metroid 2D Collection with Super Metroid, Fusion and Zero Mission either.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps and Hollow Knight are can't miss games for the Switch. So damn good!

[carlossolorzano]

Hollow Knight is hands down my favorite game on Switch, I've played like 30+ different games including a lot of AAA titles but the charm and beauty Hollow Knight has is so special to me!!

[EC_ATV_Outdoors]

Why can't we just have Metroid or Castlevania on the switch already 🙄

[jbeannn]

Ender Lillies is my fav Metroidvania game. The gameplay is badass yet beautiful. And the story is super dark. Absolutely love the game

[samuelchallis]

*sees Hollow Knight halfway through the video: WHAT THE F-?! Oh wait it’s not a ranking list

[bobbydazzler]

Hollow Knight and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom are my favorite

[TipTut]

The Mummy: Demastered has no right being as good as it is.

[NintenDopeman]

Almost perfect list. I would switch Half-Genie Hero out for Pirate's Curse. It's less linear and the soundtrack is a BANGER.

[NintendoMusicChannel]

thats some brian david gilbert energy right there
list starts at 1:30 btw

[dreddbolt]

I've beaten Axiom Verge and I'm pretty much standing right outside the final boss room for Alwa's Awakening. I highly recommend both.

Always makes me happy to see Cave Story getting some love. I feel like it’s been forgotten in recent years.
