Metroidvania March Game History

This is a listing of games streamed on Metroidvania March since its inception on February 28, 2018.

2018

This event began on February 28, 2018, as part of a then-ongoing effort to play unplayed games in my various digital libraries. Shadow Complex Remastered was chosen on February 28, and I was enjoying it so much that I improvised a Metroidvania March to both provide a reason to continue playing it to the end and explore other games in the genre.
