When did Glass Joe decide to become a shitty troll?

Just today.

And that's Iga letting Nintendo crap in Castlevania. Iga sucks.

Agreed.

I'm not denying Super Metroid influenced SotN but that's not the same as being a rip off. SotN has a bunch of aspects not from Metroid like its look and the RPG elements.

Honestly though the RPG elements don't really add anything and can make it too easy if you spend a lot of time exploring for hidden stuff and level up too much in the process. Yeah, they're an addition, but they're a shitty addition.

And the look? You're really reaching there.

I don't understand your point about the RPG elements as a reply to my comments. I never mentioned them being good or bad.

I don't see how I'm "reaching". SotN has obvious similarities to Super Metroid but it's not a clone. To me, Great Giana Sisters is a rip off of Super Mario Bros. and Golden Axe Warrior is a rip off of The Legend of Zelda but SotN doesn't approach that level of duplication. Nintendo threatened legal action over Giana but there's no way they would for SotN.

I probably shouldn't have bothered making that first post, though, as not everyone has the same definition of "rip off" for games.
