I apologize for that wall of text. Best platforming action/adventure type game ever belongs to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. No doubt Miyamoto is also up there but he has yet to touch the depth offered in even the very first Metal Gear title in the NES with the Outer Heaven conflict. On a side note I enjoyed the first pitfall on the atari 2600 more than I ever enjoyed SMB 1. It wasn't until SMB3 that I was wowed by true innovation. Oh and as a Nintendo loyalist I hope you do realize SMB2 was exactly the same as SMB1 except harder. What americans know as SMB 2 is doki doki panic with Mario skins thrown in for good measure. 

 

Hey, in case you didn't know (and you don't seem to) 'Castlevania Symphony of the Night' was actually a total rip-off of Metroid (though a great game none the less) which is a nintendo franchise!

I would have thought someone who seems to be so knowledgible in the history of video games would know that!

You sure it wasn't just an improved version of the formula of Castlevania 2?  Come on guys.  Nintendo is great.  But not all video game ideas originate from them. 

Nope...am certain...and I thought it was common knowledge that Castlevania:SOTN was heavily modelled on Metroid...(and it also borrowed a few rpg elements as well). Prior to sotn, castlevania was more of a standard sidescolling 2d platformer with less 'adventure game' elements ie hack and slash through level 1, face a boss, go to level 2 etc.

Hey, am not saying nintendo invented every aspect of modern gaming. Trust me, I'm a big castlevania and metroid fan and am not comparing the 2 series in a detrimental way, but a facts a fact. I even remember being excited about SOTN when I read reviews for it (when it FIRST came out) because the reviewers were comparing it to metroid (favourably, I should add!)

 

 

 

A few RPG elements? a few really?  I would say lots and lots of RPG element.

All individual stats found in hardcore RPGs

Experience and level-up

Familiar level up, learns new abilities

Magic and magic point

Lots of weapon, armor, shield, cloak, relic and useable item

Item to boost your HP and MP

The gameplay is almost nothing like metroid apart that they are both platformers and that you need some items before being able to progress to certain parts of the game.
