Hi, we are the three greatest 2D platformers ever made
>>315837449
>World and not 3
>No Super Star Ultra
You blew it mate.
>>315837449
>No Donkey Kong Country 2
>>315837449
>sonic
>best anything
>>315837449
Mega Man X is too easy to be the best Mega Man game, let alone platformer
>no Kirby Superstar Ultra
The fuck?
>>315837449
>sonic
fuck off throw in superstar you gigafag
>>315837767
picking 3 over world is like picking 1 over 3
i.e., only "retro" faggots do it
There is no good sonic game. There are sometimes good levels in sonic games, but there is never been a consistently good sonic game.
>>315837449
sonic 3&k has to be the most over rated platformer ever. the level design is fucking atrocious
putting sonic above Mario Bros. 3. please kill yourself today
>>315837819
You're right about this.
>>315837880
>>315838018
>>315838154
>Le 'Sonic was always bad' meme.
Kill selves.
>>315838090
But World isn't as good as 3.
World isn't bad mind you but it's definately not the best.
>>315837449
I don't see a Metroid or a Castlevania. I think you posted the wrong image, anon.
>Giving a fuck about shitty platformers
Are these even good for anything but wasting time? seriously niggas
>>315838181
You want atrocious?
Look at Sonic 2 or Sonic Rush or Sonic Heroes.
At least 3&K is enjoyable.
NSMBU and DKC Tropical Freeze are the best 2d platformers.
Objectively.
>>315838385
Why is world worse than 3? And why is sonic good? Seems like your just a contrarian
>/v/ suddenly hates S3&K
What happened?
>>315838647
Everyone here usually tends to fucking hipster it up and hate popular things, I remember seeing a smash thread and people hated Dorf. Niggas need to either make up their own opinions or have something to back up their autism with.
>not Mischief Makers
>not DKC:TF
>not Castlevania: New Generation
>not Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
>not Yoshi's Island
>sonic anything
>>315837449
>World being any better than mediocre
>MMX being any better than decent.
S3&K's okay but still has more than one low point.
DKC2 you fucking idiot
>>315838779
I just find I'm a massive fucking hipster without trying to be. Means I can post horrendously inflammatory shit on /v/ while being totally sincere.
>>315838619
3 had fuck-tons more content in it.
Better and more interesting levels, better powerups, better world themes, better music, and better bosses.
World only had better world design, better graphics, and added Yoshi.
World is also piss-easy compared to 3.
Sonic had good level aesthetics, good physics, music, sprites, and bosses.
The only major flaw with Sonic is it's awkward difficulty curves at the start of the every game.
Playing Sonic for the first time is not fun, but once you get through it and start replaying it becomes a lot more enjoyable.
>>315837449
Where is Donkey Kong Country 2? Why is Sonic there? Why is Mega Man there?
>>315837449
These are not Kirby super star, Super mario 3 and Donkey kong country 2 anon.
>>315838528
>trying to justify his dead console purchase
where is DKC2?
>people hating S3&K
There's a reason no Sonic game has come close to its greatness. SEGA itself stated it way WAY over budget for that game.
>>315838647
There's camps:
SMB3/Sonic CD
SMW/S3&K
>>315837767
>>315837934
>>315839453
I like kirby but the games rarely take full advantage of kirbys floaty abilities and less than half the time are his copy abilities ever relevant. Megaman in contrast takes good use of the games physics and powers. Kirby is a comfy game but hardly an example of what platformers should strive for.
>>315840519
Too bad kirby has co-op, which makes up for these flaws.
>>315840627
just having co-op is not enough, in fact better platformers with good co-op further pushes it down
>>315839301
>and added Yoshi.
Which isn't a good thing, since he's just a penalty-free hit that you can get right back on.
Yosh's only real use is to abandon him like the bitch he is in a pit while you jump off of him.
>>315840519
Kirby's Adventure.
>>315837819
>>315838528
>>315838826
>>315839146
>>315839402
>>315839453
>>315839595
>Donkey Kong Country games
To this day I still don't see what anyone sees in them. I remember when the original game came out and I never thought the series was anything special.
>>315841032
He was a power-up with personality, like Goomba's Shoe mixed with Luigi. He was cool.
Too bad he only stayed cool for 3 or 4 games until the birth of his own series raped him to death.
>>315841202
They're not as good as the classic Donkey Kong games, but they're still solid platformers, strengthened by good funky jams.
>>315841259
>until the birth of his own series raped him to death.
fuck you SM4 was tits.
>>315841360
As games I just don't think they're that fun or interesting.
They do tend to have nice music and graphics though.
>>315837449
>Mega Man X
My fucking nigger
>>315841494Yoshi's Island was good but it still irreversibly fucked Yoshi up as a Mario character.
>>315839301
what made world good was finding all of the secret levels
>>315841259
Goomba's Shoe was cool because it only appeared in the one level. It was special and that one level allowed you to appreciate it.
Yoshi wasn't cool because he pretty much defeats the purpose of Mario's platforming mechanics and you never give a fuck about him since the game throws Yoshis at you left and right.
>>315841202
DKC1 is good, but as you mentioned, nothing special outside of the graphics at the time. DCK2 is massive step up in every way. The controls are tight, the level variety is great, the bonus levels provide a lot of challenge, it has one of the best soundtracks every written, and there no gimmicky "cheap" death portions to speak of. DKC2 has everything a good platformer should have.
>>315837449
Sonic games are shit platformers, sorry.
>>315841929
It's the same Yoshi getting trapped in a magic egg over and over again. The only yoshis who are different every time are the non-green ones.
>>315837449
>a sonic game
literally one of the worst franchises in gaming
>>315842030
>DCK2 is massive step up in every way.
I own a cart of each game and I really don't think any of them are better than the others. They're all just mediocre to me. Like I said, nice music and graphics, but I just don't find the games compelling.
If they tickle your spot, that's cool and all, but they don't do anything for me.
Yoshi's Island
Donkey Kong Country 2
Kirby Super Star
>>315841067
most kirby games(even the recent ones) suffer from my previous criticism. you have a character that can jump and float around and yet most stages are straight forward linear paths with most enemies being on the ground.
for what is worth, my six year old nephew can beat most kirby games. kirby games are really good for children who need multiple jumps to make it across small gaps and won't die from ramming into multiple enemies. I assume this is intentional given sakurais views on smash and making his games accessible for everyone but you can't lower the bar without losing something.
in the case of kirby is not using his abilities to the extent that similar platformers do.
>>315842032
>>315842118
>>315842225
That's because they were mediocre. This game, however, was actually great.
I'm partial to Wizards and Warriors 3
>Megaman X
>Platformer
It's an action game, still a damn amazing one though.
>>315837449
Patrician taste here
>SMB3
>Sonic 3&K
>DKC2
These are undeniably the 3 greatest platformers in terms of both gameplay, level design, and atmosphere.
>All these people saying Kirby Super Star
It was good, but not the best.
>>315840519
amazing mirror is underrated
>>315842370
I own Tropical Freeze and DKCR returns too. The games still don't do anything for me.
>Why would you buy games for a series you don't like?
I don't know man. I guess I somehow expect each time to be different since people constantly gush over the games.
>>315842370
This desu. I was never a fan of the SNES DKC games, but I thought Tropical Freeze was fuckin' flawless.
>>315842387
Shout out because those games had good soundtracks.
Was disappointed they weren't able to be included in rare replay
>>315842554
Well at this point, all I can say is that you have shit taste.
>nobody mentioning yoshi's island
You disappoint me, /v/
>>315837767
>Super Star Ultra over Adventure
shit taste senpai
>>315842695
It kind of sucked, it was basically and escort mission with a timer the entire game. Some of it was alright.
My big bro bought SMW for snes when it was new and we never considered getting the sequel for some reason. Don't recall seeing commercials for it. Wonder if it wasn't marketed well.
>m-muh nostalgia
Sonic CD is objectively the best Sonic though.
>>315842695
it's great. really unique. i'd place it right behind 3 and world
>>315842828
The kiddy aesthetic repulsed people. Plus there was the fact that it played nothing like SMW, so people thought Nintendo was trying to pull a fast one by giving it the SMW2 title (and they pretty much were).
>>315842267
Kirby's Dream Land on Extra was probably the level of challenge you're needing.
Kracko and Dedede were fast and would punish you if you started flying too much.
>>315842267
>most of the stages are straight forward linear paths with most enemies being on the ground
Not entirely true, a lot of stages have flying enemies and require plenty of vertical platforming. Flying is a feature for the less skilled player to fall back on, not something levels should be designed around. A lot of powers limit your ability to fly, anyway.
Unless your six-year-old nephew can 100% Kirby's Dream Land 3 + get a perfect in boss butch, then he's a cock sucking casual faggot. Everyone knows Kirby games are easy to access, but hard to master.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Ninja Gaiden
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
>>315842695
Its phenomenal but not on the same level as DKC2, Sonic 3&K, or SMB3/SMW. I wouldn't even call it genre-defining.
>>315842943
Only Nintendofriends claim Sonic CD is the best Sonic because its more Bouncy jumping than arcade style platforming. Its not bad but its different for a Sonic game, and I don't even compare it to the other original 3 because of how different it is. This is coming from a grown-ass man who comes home from work and occasional busts through Sonic 2/3.
>>315837449
x was not even the best in that series.
>>315837449
Fixed that for you OP
>>315842943
CD bored me to death.
2, 3 and Knuckles kept me pumped all the way to the end.
>>315837449
Yeah no.
>>315842387
why 3 bruh? the first one was amazing.
>>315842943
This
>>315842552
I didn't like the GBA ones, since they didn't have the "moveset" for powers. Just hit the button and get an effect, no variance.
>>315843551
>Aria of Sorrow
Not even the best Castlevania.
>>315837449
>posting sonic knowing full well that every single sonic game ever released is pure dogshit cancer
tehre wuz an attmpt :^)
>>315838090
this. 3 is boring and frustrating bullet hell at boss stage. World has more charm and fun than 3.
Anyone that says otherwise are nostalgiafags where their life is currently shit and their childhood full of gaming.
>>315843654
amazing mirror had movesets
>>315843719
OMGZ R U TEMZ?
>>315842943
Sonic CD has an unfair advantage:
Time Attack
If all the Sonic games had a Time Attack, betcha S3&K would edge out CD in everyone's minds.
>>315837449
>People unironically liking Sanic
kill yourself autist
>>315843189
Sonic CD isn't the best but it is really good. Wacky Workbench is way too frustrating to master, but when you do, you're on top of the world
>>315843046
>>315843092
this has nothing to do with the games being challenging or being hardcore, I brought up my nephew as an example as to why kirby games are design the way they are not as a slant. mario games have always been on the casual spectrum of gaming even in the old days(pic related, true hardcore game for hardcore gamers such as us) but no one disputed their quality as platformers.
The discussion is about the greatest platformers, I wouldn't consider a game that has jumping, flying and enemy copying abilities that don't impact the game in a real meaningful way as an example of one of the greats.
>>315838469
eh the only sonic games ive enjoyed where the original and the first 2 advance games
i just remember alot of 3&k being the same obstacle 3 times for a level, like that marble zone in 3
>>315844272
forgot pic
>>315844272
Well, Kirby Superstar/Ultra definitely challenged your motor capabilities in its puzzles. Not combat, not the stages, but the harder treasures and Copy Essences.
>>315844368
Consequently, those are the worst zones. Like Sandopolis.
It's also why modern Mario is boring as fuck.
>>315837449
>There will never be a Sonic game as good as Sonic 3&K ever again
it hurts
fucking masterpiece of a game
>>315843818
Really? I don't recall that. Maybe I was thinking of the other one.
Yoshi's Island is simply the best platformer ever made
i could write a book on all it did right
>>315837449
Those games are good but I don't think any 2d sonic is your typical platformer
>>315844272
faggot dont talk about shit you dont know. the original super mario brothers is hard as fuck. Ninja Gieden is too but they are all tough as shit if they are nes. buy the megaman collection I bet you'll shit yourself at the difficulty of mega-man one.
>>315838826
I wish mischief makers didn't emulate like shit
>Play SMW
>Everything feels like an ice level
>Get cape and avoid everything
Why is this shit considered good again?
Is it because they grew up with their SNES?
>>315842370
TF sucks dick. Returns and 2 are really the only good games in the DK series. Such an overrated series, on the same level of souls almost.
Sonic was never good
Nobody replays those games.
>>315844645
It's a true 10/10
Megaman is the king of 2D platformers, no other series comes close.
>>315841801
you know what you're talking about nigga!
I didn't find them all until 2013, when I used to play it in 98
it was just that level that was below the two bridges
it's too bad that games can't have hidden things anymore, because the internet is everywhere
>>315844930
I feel like Mega Man doesn't really belong in the same category as these other games as it's more of a shooter/platformer hybrid.
Also I agree.
>>315837449
Agreed
>>315842695
WAAHHH WAHHH WAAHHH
Thats all I remember from that game. Never got what was special about it outside the graphics
>>315844774
>Everything feels like an ice level
That's a new one.
>>315844676
>the original super mario brothers is hard as fuck
Spoken like a true casual. I'll admit I wouldn't call it an easy game but it sure as hell isn't that hard.
>>315837449
nobody posts castlevania or contra itt's what are you all too young to remember the best?
>>315844613
it really does, how well the game played, with those fucking jams playing in the background too...
>>315844815
I know this is bait, but replaying the games and learning the levels and getting faster and better is half the fun.
>>315845021
That fucking level below the bridge that I couldn't find drove me insane as a youngster. I tried and tried to fucking find the level with 'Torpedo Ted' that I saw in the fucking credits. Only a few years back myself I was able to realize you have to kill off Yoshi to get to it.
>>315842943
CD's level design is average at best, and the fact that it's great at all is just a testament to how good Sonic's control is.
>Sonic in the best 2d platformers of all time
Super Mario Bros. 3
Mega Man 2
Castle of Illusion with Mickey Mouse (Genesis vers)
>>315838181
You're a fucking retard
Sonic 3&K is the goddamn pinnacle of 2D Platforming
It pushed the limits of the 2D Platformer Genre more than any goddamn game ever made
>>315845257
Its not bait, you always see people replaying mario world but never ever the genesis sonic games
The I get back the ring and so I have infinite health mechanic ruins them
>>315845351
I used to be a full-on Nintendrone but after playing a ton of what that era had to offer, I have to agree with this statement.
Its fucking weird considering how bad Sonic is now, that a franchise like that could have done something so different so well back in its hayday.
>>315840151
13 fucking composers including fucking MJ for one fucking game
Man...Sega used to be so based
Is there any other game with this many composers?
>>315845137
I think he forgot how bad SMB3's ice was.
That, or he's playing a version with controller lag.
>>315845506
As a former Nintendrone I recommend you get into Sega's non-Sonic games. Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, hell even Master System has a ton of great games you shouldn't miss out on.
>>315845351
How? You just run to the right and when you lose your momentum for any reason you just spindash again. There is no difficulty and when the stage stops you and you go slow sonic feels clunky
I guess I never got the sonic games
>>315837449
what about metroid or castlevania?
>>315845351
I kek'd, this is what Sonic deviantart autists actually believe
>>315845330

Beat you to the punch, I have more Genesis and Saturn games than SNES games now. I still have to get a Dreamcast but I don't see much I want besides Crazy Taxi on it.I Played a ton of PSO back on my OG Xbox back in the day. Looking into getting a Master System for a few games down the road though.
I also think its neat that the Genesis has the best Pac-Man game of that era, hell, best version of Pac-Mania in general on consoles.
I break out my Genesis Arcade stick and play that shit on Crazy on max speed and its fun as fuck. Damn I need to spend a night with my Genesis again. Been playing a lot more modern vidya than /vr/ lately.
>>315845506
>>315845660
no people that grew up with nes say shit like this. just because you say shit doesnt mean people believe it. Pro tip: irl just because people dont call you out on your bullshit doesnt mean they dont think you're a clown.

The music alone makes 2 the best and most important one. Most of the NES' best tracks of all time reside in that one game, MM2. MM3 doesn't have memorable music at all.
>>315842943
No
CD is the worst out of the classics
Still a good game though and one of the most ambitious games of all time so respect where it's due

You're trying to bait again. I grew up on NES/SNES. This will be my last reply.

I feel that Darksiders is the modern-day Chakan, just minus the balls-to-the-wall difficulty.

You're right, I grew up with the SNES, 64, GC, and PS2.
Stop being shitty and paranoid and be a /vr/ idort already.

so full of shit pretending you gave a shit about the music in megaman when you were a child. I recognized wizards and warriors as a great soundtrack sure but it was truly great. I definitively didnt go to my friends house and talk to him about the music though. We did however know when a game was a blatant money grab.

Dude Dreamcast has literally (using that word correctly) over 100 games to play, and you can find them dirt cheap too. Just make sure you get the proper disks to brun ISOs onto and a gameshark disk, you don't want to blow thousands of dollars on the worthwhile games.
Have fun.
>>315845959
>Freedom Planet
good taste. an actual retro game instead of pixeleated garbage.
>>315846247
My opinion is that the SNES had more genre defining titles than the Genesis.
But the Genesis had more variety, especially in its middle of the road titles.
If you were to go out and buy a $5 SNES and Genesis cart at random, I'd be more inclined to say that someone would get more enjoyment out of the gensis cart.
And no, I'll have to look into Landstalker, its beenawhile since I've played a lot of retro vidya. and I'll have to softmod my AR for Guardian Heroes.
Yknow whats ironic?
EA of all companies made a better platformer then those 3 combined.
You're not even wrong, OP. Excellent taste.

Little stuff like the transition to act 2 in Lava Reef never fails to give me chills

>>315846554
>Just make sure you get the proper disks to brun ISOs onto and a gameshark disk, you don't want to blow thousands of dollars on the worthwhile games.
what the fuck are you talking about? you don't need a gameshark

But that is Sonic 3. Get your eyes checked blindy.
>>315846654
I started on Atari. But I didnt fell truly in love with games until the SNES
>>315846612
No.
Rush improved upon what Advance set up. minus Dimps bottomless pitfalls.
Rush is the superior game, good two characters, good balance, and good music/levels that were meorable.
Advance was a clusterfuck.
>>315846578
why do you lie so much? nes never was cheaper than $40 dollars. Just stfu.
>>315846494
I'm not that anon.
And I'm not a huge fan of Megaman titles either.
>>315846578
>But the Genesis had more variety, especially in its middle of the road titles.
Nah, not even close, whatsoever. I think you just don't know those middle of the road titles on snes as well as you know the genre defining ones. Genesis just didn't have anywhere near the amount of good games, both at the top and middle end of good
For instance, do you know actraiser? uniracers? uniracers is one that is never mentioned, and it was fucking amazing. EVO? etc etc Genesis just has such a short list of good games.
Best game on the system is actually Mutant League Football. Try it right now and I dare you not to laugh your ass off
>>315845959
>Golden Axe II
That's not even a platformer!
>>315846749

Why are standard platformers like OP's pic so overrated (except for maybe Megaman X)
Action platformers are just more fun.

Beat em up are glorified Platformers anon.
>>315846338
No Shion, Asha, Kid Chameleon, Vectorman, or Sketch Turner either.Sega Smash Bros when?
>>315846765
I'm talking about right now with bottom of the barrel games. No shit games were more expensive back then.
Dkc 2 and super metroid if it counts. Wario land games are pretty cool and in terms of hidden shit to find

>>315846914
beat em ups are their own genres.
i wanted to put gunstar heroes in mine but i didn't because it's more of an action shooting game than a "platformer".
>>315846840
The same applies for the SNES, it doesn't have Herzog Zwei, Ecco Tider of Time or Dune 2, pretty dumb argument desu pham.
I would say that the SFC has more good titles than the Genesis, but the SNES USA library isn't that good.
>>315847037
shit forgot about Gunstar.
That does indeed count and its amazing.
>>315846957
So is /v/.
This thread was enjoyable while it lasted.
Now its just incoherent arguing
I grew up as a Sega kid and never saw the appeal of the sanic games, I've been playing DK:CR on the 3DS and finding it a lot more fun despite being absolute terrible.
What about 3D Platformers?
>>315845351
Sonic 3K had some unnecessarily long levels, specially on the second half. Fuck Sandopolis.
>2D platformers
>>315847034
no, you don't
dreamcast isos boot straight up without any problems when burned correctly, there was never a region lock on the system either
>>315847121
But everything on this site is incoherent arguing.
>>315847150
>people's eyes cant see more than 30 fps
Mega Man X, SNES Aladdin, MMX2
>>315846914
lol nigga you serious, 99% of them have no platforming at all.
>>315847106
herzog zwei and dune 2 are basically the same game. those aren't good examples because PC games took over and did the same thing a million times better within 3 years of those games coming out. Games I give examples of are not something you can just go and play a better more evolved version of on PC
ecco? great, but listing examples doesnt matter. the genesis factually doesn't have the same quality of its library
>>315845506
There's many games that were great back in the day that don't get the credit they deserve
>>315845670
Sonic was never designed to be difficult
It's like complaining about Kirby or Yoshi's Island being easy
It was about Score/Time attack and doing as good as you can to get the best Time/Score
However the levels were also huge and there was a big emphasis on exploration
Play Marble Garden Zone once and you'll see how massive that level is(and if you have half-a-brain you'll realize how good the platforming is too)...there's still people 20 years later finding out new secret paths in this game FFS...if that's not a testament to how great this game was I don't know what is
>>315847228
snes alladin was pretty dope I got to admit that I totally forgot about that game.
>>315847124
Good 3D platformers I know off:
Banjo Tooie
Vexx
Mario Sunshine
Prince of Persia series
Rayman 2
>>315846914
thats retarded. beat em ups have a lot more in common with fighting games than platformers.
>>315846020
Get a Master System Converter for your Mega Drive. Or a Master System 2, they're really cheap.
>>315845687
Go away plebfag
>>315837449
You got Sonic right. Mario World over Mario 3 is debatable. But Mega Man games are shit and don't belong anywhere near that list. Put a Castlevania there instead.
>>315847306
It's fucking great.
>>315847335
sunshine sucked dick I couldnt even finish it. N64 mario is complete shit too.
>>315847185
It's not region free, you're mistaken. Look it up.
What was the 90s platformer shooter? Not Alien or Cyborg, just had a really simple name like that though.
>>315847474
Contra
sonic and mega man were never good
>>315847452
It doesn't matter if it is or not because the bootloader bypasses that. You do not need a gameshark to run pirated dreamcast games. You needed an accessory disc at the very beginning, that was fixed after less than a year of dreamcast piracy
>>315847424
it was a licenced title so I usually disregard them specially back in snes days but Aladdin was crazy good.
No love for wario land 3
V is full of faggots
>>315837449
Actually, the best one is this one.
If you dont like, you dont like 2D plataformes.
>>315846051
MM2's soundtrack is overrated
I much prefer BunBun's score for MM3
And MM3 has Rush Jet,Slide Move and introduced Protoman
>>315847602
>a game from years after the death of 2d platformers
go away kiddo, adults in this thread.
>>315847228
>>315847306
>>315847424
>>315847590
Genesis Aladdin was better.
>>315847293
Give me one PC from the time that plays like Herzog Zwei.
>doesnt matter. the genesis factually doesn't have the same quality of its library
>hurr your opinion don't matter because my shittyJRPGs are still better!
whatever nignog, i forgot nintendrone are insufferable faggots that only play JRPGs and nintendo platformers.
>>315847510
Nah, my memory is vague but I remember it being pretty grey and some alien shit would attack you. Lots of corridors.
>>315847612
game looks like it was made in flash
>>315837449
>no DKC2
>no Yoshi's Island
>megaman
ya blew it
>>315847691
Hahaha bullshit
>muh sword
>muh disney animators
How do I like Kirby games, /v/?
I've beaten every Kirby platformer 100% and it just isn't something I remember super fondly (besides Super Star and SSUltra)
They just seem underwhelming in retrospect
With DKC, I can legitimately remember levels that rustled me up or made me awe at my tv as a kid, and even when I replay them today, they resonate the same way
But Kirby games are just in the moment for me. Once I finish them, I can't remember anything standout, almost as if I never played them.
Who called?
>>315847612
Rayman Legends is alright.
My biggest gripe with it is that its just not as fun the 2nd time around, especially with the emphasis on replayability.
Modern platformers like DKC:TF and NSMBU were more fun to run through multiple times.
>>315847719
Yeah, because all of others 2D plataformers look like The Order.
Fez
>>315846545
Sonic 1 is great
It's the 2nd best game in the series
Sonic 2 suffers from some quality issues and it was clearly rushed(Hill Top being a reskin,Oil Ocean being bullshit,Metropolis being bullshit)
>>315847870
I don't think he's talking about the quality of the graphics.
>>315838090
>frustrating because it's difficult
you can claim they're all nostalgiafags but I think you're a casual.
>World Final Boss Fight
>Throw thing up
>Jump a few times
>Repeat
>>315847823
I agree with you, only in the DK:TF
NSMBU was meh for me...
>>315847782
>muh delusion
>>315847708
Sorry, it was Abuse, I think.
>>315846648
Which reminds me
I think I'm in the minority of preferring Lava Reef Zone act 2 music over act 1's music haha
>>315847557
Yeah you were right, you don't need gameshark cdx necessarily, but DON'T use the utopia boot disk from 2002, it's complete shit and barely runs a handful of games.
Use codebreaker. Pirate it.
>>315847703
>blurh blurh drone
kid you're missing the basic point of the conversation. We agreed that SNES has the genre defining games and I suggested you might not know some of the less popular ones. I listed less popular but still great games. You then went on to list 3 games that are all within the top 20 genesis games and are all considered defining games of the console.
So to compare against "not the best" SNES games you chose "the best" genesis games?
>haven't owned or even physically played a nintendo system since n64
yeah, some nintendrone i am
>>315847672
Found the faggot
>>315848071
YOU DON'T NEED ANY SORT OF BOOT DISK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
holy jesus christ fuck
every dreamcast game was repatched to be self booting
>>315848046
SNES has better platforming, better backgrounds, better music. It's a Capcom classic. Who the fuck made the genesis one?
>>315847691
I'll have to check that but I do remember that genesis Aladdin was pretty sweet as well.
>>315846758
Fuck no
Rush is nothing like Advance 1
More like Advance 2
Advance 1 played more similar to the classics
Rush was dogshit,so were it's physics and level design...and also...the bosses were even more obnoxious than Advance 2's bosses
How is that even fucking possible?
>>315846612
Rush suffers from a lot of the same pitfalls (har) as the rest of Dimps' Sonic games, but it's ultimately a more focused, fast experience. I prefer SA3's soundtrack, though.
>>315848220
I think it was Virgin games?
>>315848220
>better music
Now this just sad
>>315848225
dont feel bad most people who had a brain in thier head and a computer was playing the best video games ever made.
>>315845959
>>315843551
>Henry Hatsworth
Wait, this game is a fucking platformer?
Guess I'm playing it now
>>315846958
Holy fucking shit you're retarded
>>315848345
Right right the 7-up people. Capcom's better.
>>315847963
So what hes talking about?
Because the gameplay is great, the animations and the graphics is gorgeous and is one of the most fun games out there. Im lost.
>>315848220
virgin, also considered a top flight developer at the time.
the genesis version is better.
>>315848205
Nope.
>>315847037
>>315847115
Gunstar is a Run 'n Gun game not a Beat 'em Up
>>315848397
how am i retarded for stating a fact
I fixed it
>>315848395
Ita puzzle platformer. Keeps you busy, playing on the top screen and solving puzzles on the bottom screen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWXLoA9iZqw
It also has the best text soundfonts of any game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efNytzvKjog
>>315847823
>DKC:TF
I agree that it had excellent replayability but what the fuck were they thinking with the boss fights?
Why is it so hard for people to come up with decent platformer bosses
Fez, Braid, Super Meat Boy
>>315847124
Galaxy 2 is the best 3D platformer no doubt(haven't played 3D Land/3D World...so please don't bash me)
>>315847135
I liked the levels being long
But depending on how you play them and how well you know the levels you can finish them faster
I will agree some levels like Carnival Night Act 2 and Sandopolis Act 2 are bit too long but most of the other levels didn't feel like they overstayed their welcome
>>315848443
word virgin was more of a publisher though. They published dune II the first rts worth a shit.
>>315848508
>not throwing everything, including your partner
>>315848205
I can confirm this. I still have my launch Dreamcast. Tried pirating years ago via a boot disc and couldn't get it to work. Then late last year I looked into it again, and now most ISOs are self-boot. Just burn the game and you can play it as if it were a retail copy. It's great.
>>315848756
>please don't bash me
no way, your taste is shit
what are we talking about again
>>315848082
First i'm not the same guy you were talking with before.
Second, the only reason of why SNES games are better rated today is because modern game is more related to Adventure games and JRPGs than the action-oriented library from the genesis. Back then nobody gave a shit about JRPGs in the west.
As for Actraiser, it's just an decent action-platformer with annoying sim sections, the Genesis has tons of great action platformers minus the sim sections, not really a big loss.
EVO was an interesting concept, that was much better executed on the PC-98 than on the SNES. As a game, Ecco Tides of Time is just much more enjoyable and engaging.
As for uniracers, it's decent game, but just a middle-tier stuff that is on the same level of middle tier stuff like these from the genesis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2ruzXoGGxc
>>315848856
god that system sucked though.
