2D Love
February 17th, 20082D platformers are hardly the rage any more, but they’re not dead either. There are a handful of games out there that use the platforming style, especially on the handheld and indie PC side of things where development costs are far cheaper from an art perspective (the Castlevania DS games are perhaps the best example here). That said, they’re not what they used to be, as PtB notes, they’re a great excuse for a NeoGAF retrospective thread with a bunch of screenshots. I was really pleased to see Jazz Jackrabbit, since Epic used to be one of my favorite PC developers.
Enjoy.
