Hi Clement, Yeah, that's true. There have been a number of new side-scrollers coming out of late. I think a lot of it has to do wwith the nostalgia factor of these games.
For instance, I myself use to play Megaman etc rather heavily until I lost my vision. Now, that I'm older, a parent, etc I'd love to pass on those same kinds of games to my kids. When I go out and buy a PS III or an XBox 360 I want to have games equal to what I played on my NES or Super NES back in the day as well as any new games that came out. These remakes and new side-scrollers help bridge that gap. Not only that we need a wider variety of family friendly games. I've noticed a trend towards teen and mature rated games which are fine for people in those age groups, but my son is only 6. I like to find games more age appropriate for him. Somethinglike Megaman is more age appropriate for him than Grand Theft Auto or MK 9 in my opinion. Cheers! On 5/10/11, Clement Chou <[email protected]> wrote: > Fair enough.
