SIDE-SCROLLERS.... STILL ALIVE AND KICKING

[Il PH0ENIX lI]

With the upcoming game Ori and the Blind Forest for the Xbox One, I was thinking how much I love side-scrollers. Wonder why developers still make them and why people still play them. I love all the old school side scrollers like Mario, Sonic, Castlevania, Metroid and Mega Man. Which ones do you remember loving? I really liked that somber XBL game Limbo. Super Meat Boy almost killed me, lol.

Check out the trailer for Ori and the Blind Forest.

here's a link to demo footage from E3

I love Sonic. I have all three original and the knuckles attachment on my xbox 360. I also loved to play Contra and Mario.
