Forums - Gaming Discussion - I'm sad about a certain genre.

My favorite genre is being more and more niche every generation.  Why don't people have such a passion for Platformers as I do.

I mean, the only exclusive platformer on the 360 is Banjo and Kazooie and the PS3 only has that Ren wannabe and the talking lunchbox also the hacky sack thingie.  Other than that, it's just a bunch of mediorce games like Crash of the Titans and Sonic 06.

At least the Wii has nice platforming offerings like the superb Super Mario Galaxy, the fanastic de Blob, the mixed feeling Super Paper Mario, and the nostalgia induing Wario Land: Shake it.  Why must genres become so eclipsed by the overrated.  I think I'm going to have trouble sleeping tonight.



Pixel Art can be fun.

The DS has a couple of good ones. And more are coming to the Wii. So don't be sad, platformers will rule forever.

Yeah, but I want platformers of the 3D variety.  But alias, I can't afford to be so picky.

Try being a die-hard shoot 'em up fan and then get back to me about the plight of the platforming game.
