Well, have you played Cave Story?
Actually, yes, all the way through. D: It was exceptional.
I think I was looking for something like, ... "freedom" to do a lot of things, very similar to Super Metroid. Those are so few and far between.
I've also seen and played Eternal Daughter. It's a lot like Cave Story.
Wait, are you looking for a platform shooter, or a game that's Metroid but slightly different? There are tons of platform shooters on SNES. Many are japanese only but that shouldn't stop you.
Anything sidescrolling would be marvelous at this point, really. I'm surprised I returned to my base roots of gaming, but it is what it is.
Well then download the entire SNES library. :p That's a good starting point.
Gunstar Heroes for the sega. It's real fun with a two player if you can work together. Tough game to, even on easy mode.
The only recent platforming game I've played is Wario Land. It's not a shooter by any respect, but if you're looking for platforming, it is a pretty good game.
Duke Nukem, Cosmo, Hocus Pocus, Secret Agent, Halloween Harry (Alien Carnage), Earthworm Jim... and others that I forget >.>" all are decent or great.
Flashback is really good. Its like a futuristic Prince of Persia...the original, not the PS2 revival. I haven't finished it, but I always make an attempt every couple of years or so.
