The Touhou franchise strikes me as the modern Lovecraft. People are creating fangames, and go on to make them into commercial products. Around the 22nd or thereabout, "Shrine Maiden Wars" will be released, which is a take on the Super Robot Wars formula, but with the Touhou cast. It is an incredibly vibrant ecosystem of fanworks, where most people get to have fun AND profit.
Touhou Luna Nights Is such a Fun Game! It was the first Touhou Game I played because I'm don't like Bullet Hell's. If someone reads this and is into Metroidvanias, give it a shot!
I probably will get it when Turkey Day rolls around. Anyhow, counter-suggestion: Check out La-Mulana if you like puzzles with your Metroidvania. They are extremely long and difficult games, but is worth your time if you got the lateral thinking to puzzle out the riddles and enjoy things like King's Quest.
Looks interesting, I will check it out during Christmas vacation. Thanks!
