File:Deconstructing the Metroidvania Genre-2

Continuing my series on deconstructing popular video game genres, this video is a breakdown of the Metroidvania genre. The term "Metroidvania" is derived from the combination of Metroid and Castlevania games. Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are considered the primary authors of the genre, and in this video, I will identify the specific elements these games have which define the Metroidvania genre as we know it.

NOTE: This video is a re-upload. I had to take down the original due to unsatisfactory image quality. I apologize for any confusion.
