@rolstoppable no wonder you feel that way, those games were mediocore at best. WTH were you paying for Cave Story anyway, wasnt that originally a free PC game???

@mrstickball preach man, I dont know why some people try to downplay the LIVE/PSN games im almost sure they dont even have a console that has access to either of those services

Yet another one of your "preach man" posts. You don't know why some people try to downplay downloadable platformers? Let me explain.

Nobody is really doing that. What's actually happening here is that some people insist to overstate their quality and value and people who disagree with that notion are merely pointing out the actual reality. Remember who it was that started to downplay something, it was you. You called fantastic games overpriced and blew the quality of downloadable platformers out of proportion. You also implied that 2D platformers should not be released at retail, because they don't have the same production costs as 3D games which go for the same price at retail.

It's in no way downplaying Live and PSN platformer releases, if someone states that Wii offers much more in the genre than 360 and PS3 combined, because that's the reality.


That's exactly that.

The day platformers are quarters of games costing 10$ only on dowloadable content, then the genre will be completely dead.

I am glad that NIntendo is still pushing the genre and giving millions of fans true , full scale and ambitious platformers, encouraging third parties to follow their path by proving there are a public for this genre on Wii, which is not the case on other consoles.
