Obscure & Underrated Platform Games Anonymous Wed Jul 29 07:49:53 2020 No.6653952 [Reply] [Original]

Anyone knows of any overlooked platformers worth looking at?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 29 07:51:53 2020 No.6653957 No, I don't. They must all be too obscure, underrated, and overlooked.

Rendering Ranger R2

Ignore the shitty box art, this game is the best run and gun platformer for super famicom.

If you like metal slug / turrican definitely check it out.

Tobias Richter, one of the artists who did most of the raytracing stuff in that game lives like 5 minutes away from here. His studio hasn't moved since the 90s.

Honestly this. These games are just as polished as Mario, DK, and Yoshi, but being japan only and extremely cutesy killed it... not to mention deceptively easy first few levels.

Shame Hudson never did anything interesting with Milon ever again and now he's in Konami's basement.
