You forgot Kameo on 360! As well as Prinny and LocoRoco (1 and 2)! Those are some great games.

He left out a lot more DS platformers too. 

I'm sure, but I'm just going off the top of my head.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

resident evil 5, there's a lot of platforming in it



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

New Super Mario Bros., Yoshi's Island, Wario Land: Shake It!, Super Mario Galaxy, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic Unleashed (day levels), Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (it counts because some cars can jump).

I thought you said it was crap

New Super Mario Bros. I never felt challenged by Galaxy, it was a great game and had beautiful visuals but it didn't really draw me in.

LittleBigPlanet since it has over 750.000 levels and it cant get boring

shooter/platformer. it was cool


Platformers are a dieing genre, but the Conduit sure as hell is not a platformer

If Prince of Persia, Uncharted and inFamous can be considered as platformers, I don't see why The Conduit or any other game can't be.

What are the main focuses of The Conduit?

Just because there's a jump button doesn't make it a platformer.

That's basically my point.

So how do Uncharted and inFamous qualify as platofrmer? Or in a later post, Patapon?

If we can just re-define the game into other genre, I'm gonna call Super Monkey Ball a platformer and Super Mario Galaxy a third person adventure game.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
