Actually a Metroidvania is any game that uses that level design.

I think this might just be the single most nonsense thing I've read on VGC. Up there with "globally in the US".

Really? Just because a game came out before a genre was created (and is part of the portmanteau of that genre) doesn't mean it doersn't fit in that genre.  

Would you care to say a less nonsense thing and state what genre Metroid is?
