Why are these so rare? Can you recommend any that isn't:Kirby gamesGanbare Goemon gamesJoe & Mac gamesMickey games
I think the thing holding back platformers from that era is the 4:3 aspect ratio, so I could only recommend you modern ones like PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist, which is unironically a good coop platformer.
>>12121302But I don't see any problems with the games I listed, and they are 4:3.
>>12121309Ah well I don't like them compared to modern platformers like DKCR for example as 4:3, and particularly that squishy SNES resolution, doesn't really make platformers better with two players.
chip and dale
>>12121298>Joe & MacThat's a more of a run & gun. Play the Metal Slug series then.
>>12121313And yet all these games like Kirby Super Star, Goemon and Magical Quest are all excellent co-op platformers, among the best there is.Sorry nigga I'm not going to play your eceleb game and also this is the retro board.
>>12121318There's way more platforming in Joe & Mac than on Metal Slug, which is more of a proper shooting game, but yeah I like Metal Slug, Contra, Gunstar Heroes and Panzer Bandits too. I just look for something more on the platforming side.
>>12121317Forgot about this one. I guess I should say, outside of the usual Capcom suspects.
>>12121320DKCR is not an eceleb game you absolute retard
>>12121338I was referring to the first game you mentioned.DKCR is also not retro anyway.
>>12121340Also the Kirby games suck and the only thing saving them in the 4:3 aspect ratio is that they're slower games.
>>12121345ok, go play your piew ped ped game, anon.This board is for Retro video games.
>>12121345Funnily enough, Kirby Super Star is actually the fastest of the games mentioned. Yes, co-op games work better if they are slower paced, look at the World of Illusion game, or even games like Contra and Metal Slug. They aren't gotta go fast games >a bloo a bloo 4:3 badwrong board
>>12121356In 4:3, coop works fine for FPSes like Perfect Dark or beat em ups like Streets of Rage 2It's just platformers become way too awkward unless you're absolutely on the same page.
>>12121302>>12121313>>12121338Why do people like you go out of your way to be utterly unbearable?
Sorry OP. Can't think of any besides the games you told us not to mention.
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2141/OP some of the best ones are "NOT LE HECKIN' RETRO" romhacks
>>12121298Midnight Wanderers from the Three Wonders collectionTry it
I think it's just awkward for both players to make hard jumpsIf one of them dies a lot you end up running out of lives/continues fastIf they just fall in a lower platform they might not be able to get back up if the path is offscreen, then the player who made the jump has to fall down so they can both climb together again, it would be too annoying
>>12121515I can't remember many 2 player platformers, I said the above comment thinking of Doom Troopers cus I had a hard time playing it with my cousin back thenThe game was his so he was good at it, I was new at the game and kept falling all the timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXKlB0F_b6s
>>12121515Kirby Super Star, Magical Quest and Goemon all have mechanics that prevent this from being a problem.
>>12121515Even in extremely early ones like Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, there was a mechanic where you could go "fuck it" and just pick up the other player and do the platforming challenges while carrying them through it.Or just get fed up with them and throw them in the pit so they run out of lives and you can do the rest alone.

they're just not that fun, having your progression limited to the speed of the slowest player and all
OP here, there's also Psychic Killer Taromaru. Plays like Alisia Dragoon and has co-op
>>12121298I guess you don't want single screen platformers like joust, rodland, snow bros, etc...?
>>12124138Yeah I'm looking for side-scrollers with platforming gameplay. >>12123037lmao, this is one of the worst T&J games
>>12121298Bugs and Taz ps1
Mappy Kid on NES has split screen competitive gameNot coop but seeing split screen on NES is pretty nice
>>12124369Will look into them. Are they actually good?>>12124578Looks neat, thanks
>>12124587Yea, pretty good coop platformers. Very nostalgic too. I heard some youtubers claiming it was the "it takes two/split fiction" from the ps1 era. There are 2 bugs and taz for the ps1 though, and only one of them has good coop but i forgor which.
>>12121317This blew my mind as a kid
>>12125209Why
>>12124578Wow split screen on an NES? Is that legal?
>>12125227Idk, had played a ton of nes but I was a dumb 7-8 year old. First time seeing it was emulating it in my teens and it just blew me away that the nes had a coop platformer. I think we played it on a singular keyboard setting up each players controls on one half then the other of the keyboard. It left a huge impression on me for some reason.
>>12123253you need to be more patient you fuckin nerd

>>12121404New games released on retro systems are retroRomhacks of games released on retro systems are retro
>>12126028>New games released on retro systems are retroNah. They may be limited by hardware, but they're brand new, mostly indie products.
more action than platforming. not a great game either but worth mentioning. basically a shittier version of ninja gaiden with 2 players, but much less difficult
