/vr/ - Retro Games

Mischief Makers is one of the best platformers of the entire console generation, I'll fall on my sword for this fact. The soundtrack is awesome

Hey /vr/ I purchased Mischief Makers on N64 today. While testing it, I saw the game has a gorgeous sprite based style just from the intro, and it's a perfect example of why we needed more 2D games in the 5th generation of consoles. I feel like gen 5 is the perfect sweet spot for 2D games - consoles like the saturn and n64 were capable of 3D, but when they stayed in 2D, the result was for some gorgeous games; unfortunately developers solemn left in the safe zone that was 2D games. Symphony of the Night, Yoshi's Story, & Guardian Heroes are some notable examples. Post some 2D games from the 5th generation worth playing.
