Title: Good Platformers on the DS
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 16, 2009, 01:43:00 PM
I've been thinking about getting a DSi in a few months and in preparation for that am trying to adjust to not having the GBA slot. My favorite genre is platformers, a genre that's very well represented on the GBA but I don't have much on the DS. I have New Super Mario Bros. and N+ and will probably pick up Yoshi's Island DS and Kirby Super Star Ultra, is there anything else good I'm not thinking of? I wouldn't be asking here but neither GameRankings nor MetaCritic let you sort by genre and no store I've found lists Platformer as a genre choice.

Let's see...
Sonic Rush and Adventure Megaman ZX and Advent Castlevania (3 games) Barnyard Blast Chronos Twin Contra 4 (if it counts) Giana Sisters DS (not sure if that has been released outside of Germany yet) Simple DS vol 31: The Custom Tank (sorry :P)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm looking for more Mario/Nintendo-like platformers, I already have a couple Castlevanias, and I've played Sonic Rush and I'm not a fan of the way it does Sonic.

Technically Drawn to Life is a platformer too, don't forget that.

Haggleman 3 from Retro Game Challenge is supposed to be excellent (haven't unlocked it yet myself).
