This conversation begs me to point out some of the side-scrolling games that I was so excited for that disappointed...
Strider and Bionic Commando - boo
Mighty No. 9 - Few games have I seen discounted as fast..
There's several more I can't remember that their sheer IP sparks tons of interest but ultimately went no where.
Metroid and Blaster Master better be good or i'm retiring from video game collecting!
