Whatever Happened To Backpack Sidekicks?

The late '90s and early '00s were chock full of games starring characters who wouldn't go anywhere without slinging their friend on their shoulders. It's a mechanical conceit that made a lot of sense, with a story and gameplay purpose. It gave your lead character someone to talk to as well as a sidekick who could help them out with tasks along the way.

Probably the same thing that happened to the Fanny Pack Sidekicks, they all just went digital. They all turned into Cortana, a Smartphone Sidekick App Waifu with big tits for the added realism and stuff or whatever...

ApocalypseShadow562d ago

Man! I was coming to say the same with fanny packs when I saw the headline. Too late. Lol.

SonyStyled562d ago

Not really newsworthy content I agree. Might be a read if you’re >20yrs old and unfamiliar with platformers. In that case you have an article written by someone probably not old enough to have grown up on platformers

It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though

Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces

Clay Fighter
Darkstalkers
Ehrgeiz
Final Fight

FinalBoss258d ago

Art of Fighting...We are going to have a Fatal Fury, we can have hope for this one too :)

Number1TailzFan258d ago

I only had the CD version of Final Fight but yeah great game, great music. Challenging too.

The Desert/Jungle Strike games need to return too.

Asplundh258d ago (Edited 258d ago )

I remember playing Clay Fighters a lot, honestly it wasn't great and it got worse with each sequel.

Snookies12257d ago

Bushido Blade needs to be on that list of fighters!

Terry_B257d ago

I agree, but Bloody Roar is higher in my priority lol..due to that already super fun indie fighting game hellish Quart which is still on early access

Onimusha and Legacy of Kain! Excellent choice.
I would add Shenmue indeed.

gold_drake258d ago

breath of fire

shadow hearts / koudelka
dot hack series.

and many more u cant think of right now haha

FinalFantasyFanatic257d ago

Maybe Shadow Hearts/Koudelka can make a return now that Penny Blood is in the works (worked for 100 Heroes/Suikoden).

I'd really like them to do a Dot Hack compilation/quadrillion pack, and having Breath of Fire return would be good too, it didn't deserve to go out with a whimper (I'm talking about that mobile game they made for it).

gold_drake257d ago (Edited 257d ago )

haha you dont need to clarify your points, i know xD

i know theres a .hack project on the way, but no one really knows what it is. from qhat ive just read, the vice Pres. of CC2 wants a remake of the four games, but Bandai holds the licensing and hasnt given the greenlight for it.

and yehz bof didnt deserve the the ceap games at the end

RaidenBlack258d ago

Quake (not including the re-releases)

shinoff2183257d ago

Porkchop you probably know already but did you know they worked on a scarface 2.

porkChop257d ago

Yeah I've seen footage of it. Activision cancelled it after they bought Sierra. I still think that's crazy. Scarface was successful enough that Sierra planned on making Scarface 2, 3, 4, etc. It's wild that Activision would just cancel it like that.
