OKAY so, im a quite fan of side scroll games,such as castlevania,metroid,mario,megaman(not much but still awesome),contra, and lots of those games. so... let us list the Side Scrolling games and give them scores.(also i want to know good side scrooling games too,want to play those)
all of those co-op side scrollers were awesome, I liked Streets of Rage 2 best Also Alien hominid on ps2.
I can't believe you left Metal Slug, my favorite side scrollers and are those considered as side scrollers? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nb5Ohbt1Sg&feature=related when it goes up
Its scrolling so why not? The Bonk games comes to mind as a favorite retro side scroller I played quite often.
I have no idea of another Side-scrolling game besides these ones lol. Claymore DS is one... but I heard its a pretty bad game >_>
Practically every Mario is good, excluding the Doki Doki Panic hack that's known as Mario 2 USA. The Mega Man games are also superb (Classic, X, Zero, and ZX [not Advent; it sucked]), and every 2-D Castlevania since Symphony of the Night is for the most part stellar. Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country 2 are the pinnacle of platforming quality...
Yoshi's Island was awesome it was like a shooter but side scrolling and with Baby Mario that game was awesome
