Good platformers that aren't popular but should be. Pic related is Wolfchild, a great game released on many consoles but rarely talked about:

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 2 12:17:04 2016 No.3535863 >>3535092 I didn't see the Plok thread actually. But it pops up on /vr/ quite a bit as being the best underrated platformer. Since it's not loved by normies it is highly praised here even though it shouldn't be.

Incantation's pretty good for a Titus game, I guess.

It's hard naming platformers that are obscure, but good. All the good ones were either best-sellers when they came out or became famous after the fact (like Dynamite Headdy). So we end up posting about bottom of the barrel shit like >>3534939 and >>3535984

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 2 18:38:47 2016 No.3536794 >>3536767 A lot of your average Megadrive games look like home computer games to me. Even the "stock" font (or whatever). The controller ports only add to that illusion.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 2 20:03:27 2016 No.3536948 >>3536750 Which proves the actual game blows. If it was actually good, it wouldn't get so thoroughly overshadowed by its music.
