Fusion, because it seriously cuts down on the backtracking the series is known for. You can gripe about "linear" all you want, but I swear that "non-linear gameplay" in MetroidVania games is just code word for, "fighting through areas you've already been through five times with respawning enemies."
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
