One such genre is pretty much responsible for starting it all with a certain Italian plumber for a hero. That's right, platforming games were once the reigning champions. Thankfully, they're coming back, and in a huge way!
"The Barcelona-based (Spain) indie games publisher JanduSoft and indie games developer Juan-Mod, are today very glad and proud to announce that their 3D arcade action-platformer "Teared", is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Laundry, cleaning and classic arcade games all in glorious virtual reality
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord brings back the classic experience with revamped graphics and other improvements.
Platformers will never die!
Love me a good platformer! Still need to get Rayman Origins see what that's all about :)
A renaissance of platformers may be upon us. Recently we saw the releases of Sly Cooper: Theives in Time and NSMBU but more are on the horizon. We have the new 3D Mario for the Wii U, Sonic Lost World which actually looks really good. We'll have Knack on the PS4. And Rare may even revive Banjo for the X1.
I really want more 3D platformers for non Nintendo consoles.
Splosion man, super meat boy, trials, limbo... such sweet memories
