32-bit 2D platformers worth a punt?

Skullmonkeys looks cool. Never knew much about it. Also looks. . . expensive. . . apparently.

I'll mention Jazz Jackrabbit 2 even though most my time was spent with the level editor and not the actual game. They should've ported that one to playstation.

Yoshi's story was pretty good and there was a sidescrolling goemon game for n64 too but I didn't play it much.

Speaking of N64 2D platformers, I note that Mischief Makers is being criminally ignored in the first post.

32-bit platformers in general disappoint me. They hardly look better than pre-rendered 16-bit platform games like DKC and Toy Story, with mostly zero gameplay 'innovation' (sick of that word but can't think of an alternative).

You know, I feel almost exactly that way about modern 3D games compared to 3D games last gen.

Oh man, I think I remember that episode.

Does SOTN count? It is not one of my favorite games by any stretch, but it is still probably one the better 2D platformers in a gen that didn't boast many good ones...

Thought of another one of note: Astal for Sega Saturn is supposedly pretty good, although I haven't played it myself.

Edit: and how about Wild 9 for Playstation?

Holy crap never even heard of that one. Is it rediculously expensive?

Wild 9 was a fun game. How's five bucks sound?
