What Upcoming 2D Games Have You Drooling?

Post by racketboy »

Castle Crashers, SSF2THD, and the "Odin Sphere Ninja" game are my top pics.
How 'bout you?

Interested in Sonic Rush Adventure too. Alhtough I havent played the first one yet.

I'd pick of the first one -- I got it new dirt cheap on Amazon.com ($15, I think?)

Cheers for the tip. I heard the music was done by the same guy who did JSR and JSRF. I wonder if he did the music for Rush Adventure as well? Come to think of it, what other games had he done the music for?

The Jet Set Radio, Ollie King (many JSRF tracks) and Sonic Rush are the only big ones

The DS Zelda

Post by Ivo »

I think the DS Zelda is going to be 2D, so a vote for that one. I loved Minnish Cap (done by Capcom IIRC).

I think Hourglass is also outsourced to Capcom with Nintendo supervision, but I'm not sure. And I don't mind the "Celda" art style (particularly not in a handheld title, who tend to have different artistic styles from consoles to disguise the relative technical weakness).

Ivo.

Well, my wish was fulfilled: Worms 2 came out for PSP and DS. Got it for the PSP -- thats some 2D loveliness, right there. Easily the best worms since Armageddon.

Otherwise:

Odin Sphere Ninja Game, you betcha.
Loco Roco for PS3 (Its 2D gameplay, but most everything, I think, is a vector, as opposed to sprite).
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet: http://www.insanelytwistedshadowplanet.com/ I don't think there has even been mention of this.
Sensible World Soccer
Street Fighter HD -- never a big SF fan, but love HD :)

And I keep wondering -- there was that weird black/white noirish game that was posted some time ago.... Can't remember the name of it, but looked very interesting.

No, that's not it. It was noirish, surreal, and I want to say sort of a platformer. I think it was for PC and was a hobby project, but am uncertain on both those counts. I do know you were the one that brought it to our attention. I should probably be a bit more clear -- the noirish feel has nothing to do with detective work, but rather the atmosphere noire is all about.

One more for the list, however: http://2dboy.com/ World of Goo
