  I edited the post to just platformers, as it was indeed a bit vague! Though I think I was going more for the run-around, collect and jump on enemies kind of deal (Mario, Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, Astro Bot, Banjo-Kazooie, etc).

  So less action-platform I guess?

  But what do you like about megaman? I’ve never played any game in that series!

    Sounds like you’re (mostly) talking about ‘collectathons.’

    You gotta try Mega Man. And if that doesn’t do anything for you, try Mega Man X or Zero. I love all of them, but X7 and X8 were my leas favourite.

    Personally, I like them because of the art style, the music, and the challenge.

      I’m currently downloading Mega Man Legacy Collection on my 2DS. Any tips for a complete newcomer to the series? I know that you have different stages, each with a different boss, and that you are allowed to do them in any order. You receive powerups from the bosses you’ve defeated right?

      Maybe a recommended order for the first game?

      Thanks for the suggestion!

      Speaking of megaman please do me a favour and try battle network.

    I don’t hate Megaman but Megaman Zero is the best. You get to be the legendary robot hero and cut bad guys in half with a light saber. Also the characters are interesting and the music are too good for a GBA game.

    I’m sad Little Big Planet doesn’t get this love anymore. The first two games were fantastic platformers.

      Thanks for reminding me! Those games were amazing and actually quite similar to Astro Bot in vibe: just wholesome, cute and positive all around!

      I didn’t enjoy 3 that much, and the new Sackboy game is fun but seems like a different genre almost.

      I did really like the PSP and PSVita entries of LBP, if you have access to those devices you should give them a go! Even though they weren’t made by the same team, they really captured the essence and both had a great campaign!

      Sidenote, do you remember the millions of Shark Attack community levels? That was such a weird trend :).
