I don't think you read the title...platformers...

No it won't ever match n64 for many reasons. Rare no longer makes nintendo games...platformers are not really that popular...

The N64 had Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie 1 & 2 and Donkey Kong 64.

 

Currently, the Wii has Super Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario.

As we already know that there is comming a SMG 2, I would say that the Wii has a good change of equalling the N64.

and de Blob

and Wario Land: Shake It!

And we do know that SMG2 is coming? Hopefully it'll be fun in comparison to the first.

 

I don't count those games. They may be good considering the Wii's library, but they're nothing compared to BK/DK64/Mario 64.

 

Does that mean that you didn't like the first Super Mario Galaxy?

BTW, there isn't any real proof, but Miyamoto has given some solid hints at it.

 

de Blob is a lot of fun in my opinion but I guess that's just me.

And wouldn't that be the first time he's had more than 2 storyline games in a generation since Nintendo. Maybe SNES through technicality.

 

There were several Mario's on both NES and SNES.

There's been 2 Zeldas on all Nintendo consoles.

 

So it isn't the first time.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Well first of all, Zelda games are not platformers. There isn't even a jump button.

Secondly, I'm going to say...maybe, but it won't be easy.

Super Mario 64
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie
Conker's Bad Futr Day(My favorite platformer ever)
Mischief Makers
Yoshi's Story(FU people! This game rocks regardless of it's toddler-aged difficulty)
Donkey Kong 64
Rayman 2
Space Station Silicon Valley
Rocket: Robot on Wheels
Glover
Kirby 64

Granted I don't like every one of these games, but I know that each his it's own fanbase to warrant a mention.

exactly

 

 

I read the title, and honestly i think it already is, I enjoyed very few N64 games, one of it celebrated platforms, mario 64, i veiw as one of the worst mario games ever made. 

honestly all the wii has to over come is conkers which was good for the time, but did not age well. and the banjo games. which im sure N can comp 

and I guess to push it further i disagree with the use of awesome platformers  and N64 being used together unless its to say the N64 did not have awesome platformers

No console this generation will.



Maybe it will, maybe it will... without Rare it'll be difficult.
Offtopic: Do any of you think that the platformers will rise again?

Qual é, Dadinho...?

Dadinho é o caralho! Meu nome agora é Zé Pequeno!

n64 definitely was the best 3D system for platformers, although thats nothing compared to the NES, SNES, and genesis. but between mario 64, banjo 1 & 2, and conker you have 4 of the best platformers ever. and then like Onyxmeth listed there were some good platformers backing those great ones up. (although honestly, DK64 was terrible. it was super hyped up, but failed in that it was boring. i played it for one week and never played it again).

These days, due to the death of the genre thanks to 3D, outside of mario, equaling the n64 platformers would be tough in terms of true platformers. although a bunch of action games do have platform elements most of those games i just consider action games and not platformers.

so.. no.
