"As an aficionado of old school games, I hold the side-scrolling genre near and dear to my heart. With each new console generation, developers get more creative with how they handle this genre. I feel that the side-scroller genre is stronger now than it has ever been and is used in more creative ways than ever thought possible. Retro games had the formula right, but advances in gaming development has really brought new concepts to the genre and keeps it going strong..."

I don't know why more jrpgs haven't stolen off of the addition system in that game it's really satisfying
Legend of Dragoon
Dark Cloud
Rogue Galaxy
Ape Escape
Syphon Filter
Sly Cooper
Twisted Metal
Folklore
Tiny Tank
@RPGer
its.... a good game, a really good game. but only if your into occult/fairytale stuff. but its definitely a watch/play :)
Yeah, give the crackball Jaffe some work. He may have went off the rails, but he is the father of both Twisted Metal and God of War.
Jumping flash VR
Warhawk the original on VR and the remake plus sequel
Folklore was top 5 RPGs of the PS3/360 era. Maybe Top 3... and we'll never see it again.
Id take a modern reboot on Brave fencer Musashi. Maybe a new Tenchu. Heavenly sword would be sick. Mention Klonoa and I might get a little excited too lol
Only reason I didn't mention Brave Fencer Musashi or Tenchu is because Sony doesn't own them. I'll take all the games you listed, they should all return.
I’m just shocked that Square doesn’t do more Remakes of older IPs. Xenogears and Parasite Eve would be killer... although 3rd birthday does make me lose faith in Square being able to make a decent Parasite Eve game, but if they treated it like Capcom treated RE2 then it’d be incredible.
Agreed. I'd love to see this come true but Xenogears and Parasite Eve aren't popular enough. Xenogears has an intense but small cult following. I'd rather see a new Xenogears but I'd definitely take a well-made remake or hell even a remaster with high definition sprites and environments. If they were to give it the same treatment as FF7 it'd probably take over a decade to make.
Parasite Eve might have more luck at a remake... especially if Square wants to ride Capcom's trend of remaking classic Resident Evil titles.

Trials HD is a side-scroller? Since when?
Also, isn't Bonk being tabled now, since Hudson Soft USA is no more?
Great list otherwise. Some of those games look mighty pretty indeed.
I completely agree with that. It's an old concept, but there's nothing wrong with it, so it's pretty much a mainstay.
Allen I was wondering about Trials HD too, I definitely wouldn't call it a side scroller. It's a 2D game, but "side scroller" is such a weird term that could apply to anything really. Not a bad list though.
Great read.
Who said anything about Trials HD?
