What is Metroidvania? - Allen's Gaming History (Extended Mix) Episode 21.5

This is a bonus episode that explores the video game sub-genre Metroidvania through various games that fall under that category. I thought it would be a cool extra episode to wrap up the 40th Anniversaries of the two franchises that the sub-genre gets its name from - Nintendo's Metroid and Konami's Castlevania.
