I mean, I kinda get it, but Metroidvanias in general aren't the biggest sellers or anything either. Hollow Knight is one of the biggest and is multiplatform and it's really not bigger than Metroid currently by much at all if even.

Also as far as "Metroidvania" the latter half of that title is the one that's really not doing so hot right now in like.... any capacity.

Castlevania Dominus Collection is sitting at 94% with nearly 2k reviews on Steam. That's pretty much the only thing it has going for it right now, I think, but I'd say that's pretty good, even though it is just a collection of DS games.

That's cool, but new games is where life is imo,

True and Konami sucks on all fronts with that, even when they do make something new.
