Best Side Scrollers? 2008-11-06 21:07:54


Post your favorite/best side scrollers.

Some of my personal favorites are Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Cave Story (not to be confused with Maple Story), Castlevania Aria of Sorrow.

The Sonic Rush series, the original Genisis Sonic games, as well as Sonic CD. There's also the Metroid series, Ninja Gaiden, the Castlevania games, and... that's all I got right now.

I lol'd.

Why would anyone think Cave Story has anything to do with Maple Story.

I just wanted to be sure lol. One game is awesome, and one is terrible.

Response to Best Side Scrollers? 2008-11-06 21:19:24


Cave Story, and SotN. In fact, I love most Metroidvanias.

And your telling me Sonic '06 is better? There is some tact required in Rush, seeing as you can't hold that button forever, and if you do, you start running off edges, into spikes, and into bumpers that send you BACKWARDS over an edge.

I know, '06 isn't a side-scroller, but it's the principle of the thing.

Contra and Metal Slug, the only two games scientifically proven to make a man out of you. And if you're a woman, its going to make you grow balls, but no penis, just BAWLS.

You never said that. All you said was "Fuck Sonic Rush" and I pointed out Sonic '06 to prove a point. That point was that it can always be worse.

Do you mean the Starfox thread? I kept my mouth shut to preserve the fragile peace we had. But it was impossible with you around. The only reason you posted there was to say "fucking furfags" endlessly.

Or were you talking about the furry thread in C&C?

Hmm...I see I failed to point it out clearly. Ah well.

You sound a little grumpy. I think it's time for bedy-bye!

Calm down. Just because I failed to prove a point doesn't mean you have to give a flying wank.

Every Castlevania game out on the GBA and DS.

I loved them all.
Intense boss fights and surprising large amount of weapons + beautiful graphics.

Of all the games, none beat Metal Slug. I remember back in the olden days of yore, when I'd spend tons of coins in the arcade on that game. Then I got it for Playstation. Super sweet...

What best side scrollers for browsers and/or apps?

Getting started making my own and looking for some inspiration.


Monthly animations, sketchbook tours, and weekly art streams.

Hell, man, after eight years this should've just been made again by bingleheimer or someone else, not bumped.

SHOVEL KNIGHT ALL THE WAY MATE

Seriously though, Shovel Knight has stayed in my top 5 favorite games since its' release two years ago. Not only does it look and sound like an actual NES game, but it feels like one. Storywise, it's an A+; it won't outright tell you everything, but the story definitely has a fuckload of depth once you get into it. The level design is unique and fresh, with each boss providing a different challenge than the last.

Plus, it got a free DLC where you get to play as Plague Knight(one of the bosses from the original campaign) and it has been announced that more free DLC is to come.
