Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft and platform games =/

Microsoft needs to bring back a lot of the platform games that they had on the original Xbox. Now days all you see is first person shooters and JRPGs (which is fine) but why not broaden your audience and add in some great games? I guess because it wouldn't be all that profitable but they definitely have the potential with some old games to make some great new ones.

Anyone else agree or would enjoy seeing these games or similar ones appear on the 360?

Bring psychonauts and a conker game and MS will pwn in the platform genre.

Seriously what is up with MS , why hasnt there even been a mention of these games?



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

Probably saving it, since platformers aren't exactly huge at the moment.

I had forgotten about a lot of those games.



Blinx sucked and should stay dead. Psychonauts was good but also multiplatform. And Munch's odyssey was great.

None of those games sold well unfortunately.
Psychonauts and Voodoo Vince were both awesome. I actually beat VV, severely underrated game.



It's just that simple.

Munch's Oddyssee remake plz!



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Xbox has the worst platform games of last generation. Those games listed are good, but not fantastic. I'd say Blinx and Conker are the best of that bunch. Perhaps the Playstation 2 has the best platform games of last generation, followed by the Dreamcast, than the Gamecube. All Gamecube had was Super Mario Sunshine, and I guess Donkey Kong Jungle Beat was good. Not great. Just good.

Nintendo 64 owns all for platform games, though.



@a.l.e.x00

while what you say is true we must remember that the xbox wasnt exactly known for its selection of games lol. I franchise saved its big sorry A$$. *cough *Halo* cough cough
