Metroidvania is a subgenre of video games focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration. The term, popularized by video game critic Jeremy Parish, is a portmanteau of Metroid and Castlevania.

I've played a lot of the usual suspects: Super Metroid, SotN, GBA Castlevanias and Metroids, etc. Just played Hollow Knight and loved it. I'm less familiar with MV's that would've come out on the Vita or PSP. Any suggestions??

Is Monster boy and Cursed Kingdom on PS Vita? I've played it recently on PC and it's a great metroidvania.

It appears not, unfortunately, because that game was on my radar already. I may just have to play it on PC.

I have loaded the old pc-engine and Sega Monster World games onto the Vita. Have you played any of those?

No, I didn't unfortunately. From the older days I played emulated only Super Metroid.
