Best SNES Games: Platformer Edition

Mini Fortress writes:

"Last week I published Best SNES Games: RPG Edition, a new article for Mini Fortress that explored some of the best RPGs to hit the Super Nintendo. As this will be an ongoing series intended to explore most genres, this week I’ve decided to get away from dungeon crawling and turn-based battling to look at platformers, perhaps one of the most popular genres from the early nineties."

8 Best Horror Game Remakes

If you're going to relive a nightmare, you might as well do it right.

One thing that's been prevalent now more than ever is video game remakes. Dormant series like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, and System Shock aren't first getting brand-new sequels but remakes of the classic entries. Horror titles are no exception, with the recent Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Silent Hill remakes.

Putting aside whether these remakes are necessary, most of them are excellent. They can expand and enrich the world with added details, improve gameplay mechanics, or put more focus on the story. Standard remakes will count, but story remakes or reimaginings will also be included.

If Castlevania is there as an Horror Game then Demon's Souls should be there as well.

Also, you might want to add Shadow of the Colossus there too. Where you play as a mass murdering genocidal maniac on a warpath.

It’s The Perfect Time For A New Donkey Kong Country

Screen Rant Writes "It's been almost a decade since players have seen a new Donkey Kong Country game, but with the opening of Super Nintendo World, now is the perfect time to release a new DKC game. The last entry was 2014's Tropical Freeze (a slightly enhanced version was re-released for the Switch in 2018), which received rave reviews and between its Wii U and Switch sales, performed very well. The original Donkey Kong Country also spotlighted environmental themes, which would prove to be just as salient if a new entry were to release in the coming years."

Super Mario Bros first please. Plus we still need a current gen Mario Kart.

Mario Kart will probably be the same rehashed gameplay minus Mission Mode again.

We need a new Diddy Kong Racing.

I would love to see another Double Dash game.

It’s always the perfect time for DKC

No its a perfect time for another 3D Donkey Kong. I dont want 2D anything.

Snookies12477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

I'm halfway agreeing with you on that, lol... 2D is still a fantastic route for Donkey Kong Country to go with. Yet, I still love Donkey Kong 64 to this day, and play it through every so often. I absolutely want a new 3D Donkey Kong game in a similar style. Loved going back through levels with different characters that had unique gameplay aspects. A sequel to DK64 would be the perfect announcement, in my opinion.

Chocoburger477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

I always think about a possible 3D Donkey Kong game, but nothing like DK64, more of a faster paced linear platforming game. Less focus on collectibles, and more focusing on fast platforming action. That'd be amazing for me.

We need more 3D stuff, the side scrollers start to all blend together eventually. The last Kirby game was great and refreshing because they moved to 3D.
