Take a look at this video of indie platformer Oliver and Spike in action. As it starts, you're probably thinking that it looks pretty nice, a comfortable modern take on 3D jumping.
NE: "The retro 2D platformer had all but died. As new hardware arose, the gaming industry boldly strove forward to conquer new frontiers, and as the possibilities for better visuals, better sound, and revolutionary new gameplay increased, the gaming industry left behind that which had been its crutch during the early generations."
3D platformers, yeah - but not the collection based types of the N64. The recent ones have been increasingly linear.

GRTV were given a video presentation of the upcoming dimension jumping platformer for console (specific platforms undecided) Oliver & Spike.
Enjoyed every second of it.
THAT actually took me by surprise! a great new take on platforming. not just jumping the platforms but going through different environment while doing so! excited to see if the game itself is actually good
That looks pretty cool. I wonder what they will do with Wii U version. I still like a platformer. The website tells you a little more. Here is the link for anyone interested.

I posted the link because somehow I have never heard of this game and it peaked my interest.
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dream did something similar to this.

This looks like a fun game!
