Good action/platformer games?

Postby Iteroth » Sun Oct 10, 2004 2:06 pm

Been playing Castlevania Aria of Sorrow on the GBA (ROM of course, I can't afford shit like this), and I'm wondering if anybody has any reccomendations for similar games. Don't say megaman, I've already played those years ago.

Just something like this. I don't usually play the genre, so help is appreciated.

Hmm, off the top of my head I can't think of any at all, I'll get back to you when I think of one.

I just discovered Aria of Sorrow too. Damn, that's an awesome game. I'll be looking to pick up Megaman Zero 3 soon.

Whoever voted "No reason" PHAILS AT JOKE POLLS. Oh, uh, it's pretty much Castlevania and Metroid that get compared, although I guess MM could go in there as well. If you do, that's about 50 games anyway, so you should be fine.

Go find a ROM of Super Metroid if you've never played it, it's a pretty good starting point (since Metroid was mediocre, IMO, and Metroid II was just above average). The story's nothing strong between them anyway.

If you ever... EVER post any of that LUE crap here again, I will KILL YOU.

Oh, and Metroid Fusion is awesome.

I may hate LUE with a passion, but I'm not gonna sit around and let people do this. So if that's what it takes, so be it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to Soviet Russia to eat at Subway, then touch myself at night while showing LUEshi to the Dell Dude and playing N-Gage, and then get served by the goggles that do nothing, resulting in a c-c-c-comber breaker./10'D.

Platformers you say, well, the one's i'd suggest are...

Gunstar Heroes (Genisis)
Metal Slug Series (NeoGeo, the other ports' ROM size is WAY to big!)
Megaman 2 (NES)
and Definately Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission! :D
