Good Platformers on the DS
« 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.

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.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

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