So I was just watching a TAS of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero and it occurred to me that a title like that likely wont be released as a major game in today's market.
Metroidvania style titles and their cusions the sidescrolling beat em up are titles have been relegated to the XBLA's of this world. It's a genre that I never really played as a child but have a great interest in. Ghost Story looks exceptional.
What I'm getting at is what's the reason for this. With the tools of today I'm sure some exceptional sidescrollers could be made, SF4 seen the return of the 2D fighter but Metroidvanias didn't get the same resurgence.
Would you buy a "AAA" Metroidvania? Do you think it could ever return to prominence like 2D fighters did? Am I way off base?
