I really wish we had more games in the Super Metroid vein - there are a lot that take cues from it, but the vast majority also slather some extra combat stuff on top rather than making exploration the most important Castlevania does this to some extent, which is probably why all the imitations...

This is a somewhat interesting thread now that the Wii U is available for post-mortem thoughts. It's pretty easy to see the Wii U was a sales flop - it had 13 million lifetime sales, which is a bit north of 'unmitigated disaster'. I don't own one, but having read a lot about it while caught up...
