"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Thanks for the suggestions, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. Both LBP and Trine revolve around gimmicky physics puzzles. What I want is a straightforward platformer, as old-school as they can possibly get.

That leaves... Sonic. You don't want to touch that.

The Wii is the only console with any amount of platformers, all of them standard Nintendo titles. That once happy genre has been gobbled up into third person action games, Prince of Persia, Assasins Creed etc.

At least Prince of Persia was pretty :verymad:

 

The only decent 3d platformer on the Wii is Mario Galaxy AFAIK.

There aren't a lot of "oldschool" platformers, unfortunatly. I'm sure you could have fun with some newer ones though, like Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia or something like Ratchet and Clank.

 

If you want oldschool platformers download a SNES/NES/Gameboy/N64 emulator.

I could. In fact, I did. Now I want something more traditional. :sorcerer:

This does seem to be the only option. Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I guess the thread can be put to rest.

There's a new ratchet on the horizon, but probably your best bet would be to go digging through ye olde PSN for something. There isn't much on the PSN that I've heard of but still.

 

the old platformer of "you have no weapons but must get from point a to b" is pretty much dead.

 

If you've got a ps2 laying around, I'd suggest Ratchet and Clank, Jack and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Prince of Persia series, and god of war (to a lesser extent for the platforming).

 

or just hit the XBLA/Wii shopping for some classics from back in the day.

Well, the GoWs are getting a "remaster" for the PS3 later this year.

and GoW3 is slated for march next year.

Yeah. I've never played any of the GoWs (was an xbox/pc man in the last console gen), but I'm thinking I might pick the 'new' versions up later this year, to see what the fuss is about.

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Well, watch the review yhatzee made. The games overall format is similar to Prince of Persias, go from point A to B using special powers and combat to overcome obstacles. But God of War is much more adult oriented (with breasts hanging out, and an off screen threeway. And then there's the ripping people in half thing).

 

Very good design overall.

Dante's Inferno looks more fun than God of War 3.

 

*hides*

You better hide, quote the developer:

 

The time is right for the world of interactive entertainment to adapt this literary masterpiece, and to re-introduce Dante to an audience who, until now, may have been unfamiliar with the remarkable details of this great work of art

But can you rip Helios' head clean off in Dante's Inferno? I think not.

 

From what I've seen DI looks like a pretty obvious GoW ripoff. At least GoW3 has those awesome backgrounds with titans fighting each other and whatnot.

Gaming is nothing more than one rip off after the next that has lead from Wolfenstein 3D to Duke Nukem 3d to Half-Life and on and on. I really don't care if Dante's Inferno is a GoW rip off (especially as 360/PC owner) as long as it is fun.

 

I don't think it will be a day one purchase for me, but I am fairly interested at this point. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusiv...s-inferno/52342
