The two accepted definitions of Metroidvania:
1) A platformer (jumping on platforms!) where you can go in and out of levels, upgrading your items to access more levels and beat harder bosses. Going by where the word comes from, there probably needs to be either castles or rockets. ex. Dig 2
2) A platformer where you play each level in order, sometimes gaining better weapons when you beat bosses. ex. Mega Man

Personally, I like definition #1 more. I don't even know what Castlevania and Metroid are actually like because when I tried the originals, they were too pixelated to enjoy. For all I know they could be more like definition #2.

I'd rather pay $40 to $50 for a remake, but Doom was $60 at launch.
The less development theory didn't seem to apply to Doom, but the Zelda remake has to be built from scratch.
Hopefully, there is some extra gameplay.

I wouldn't

Darn it. Was looking forward to an x-games type game.
