Though their names may be used as portmanteau, neither Metroid nor Castlevania can be considered the kings of the exploration-focused side-scroller, when so many modern classics have redefined that respective niche we more commonly refer to as the Metroidvania.

Handsets equipped withOLEDdisplays are particularly adept at displaying high-contrast colors due to the true blacks they exhibit, especially when compared to handsets sporting traditional LCD displays.
