I haven’t played a Metroidvania in a while and I’m looking for suggestions of some good ones to try. Some I would recommend:

Ender’s: Lilies (Magnolias is good too, but play Lilies first. The setting and theme hits better.)

Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps (Will of the Wisps did bring a tear to my eye)

Monster Sanctuary (a creature capture metroidvania)

Any system is good, interested to hear of other good ones that are out there.

    There really isn’t a remaster, just ports. There’s very little to improve.

    I think there may have been some voice re-recordings here or there, but otherwise most versions are pretty much the same. I think the Xbox 360 Live Arcade version is missing some unimportant FMVs and some other minor details, but it’s still completely decent.

    It was a secret unlockable in the PSP game Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles with an added character and other stuff, but then you have to deal with the PSP emulation or whatever.

    I’d suggest either emulating the original or getting it as a PSOne Classic on PlayStation Store unless some other route is more convenient.
