How many "Metroidvania" CV games are there now, like 8? And how many 2-D Metroids are there, 4?

Maybe we should just start calling those games "Castlevania" games now.

Yeah, Metroid hasn't been Metroid since Zero Mission.

I'm not following your so-called point.

I think you are.

Good point.

There's also only five real Metroid games, and one of them is a remake.

Per a Konami press release for Gamescom that was released on Friday, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon isn't the only 3DS game to be bumped into 2013:

Konami’s resurrection of the Castlevania series continues, as the breath-taking Castlevania: Lords of Shadows series heads to Nintendo 3DS in 2013 with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Developed by Mercury Steam and acting as a prequel to the forthcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, the Nintendo 3DS game follows Trevor and Simon Belmont as they enter the shadow-laden castle of series villain, Dracula.

Disappointing.
