My Top 10 Most Anticipated Upcoming Platformers (2016) | List

Platformer games have recently been seeing a huge resurgence. With indie platformers gaining a lot of positive attention and even tripe A publishers wanting a piece of the action, I figured I would make a list of the top 10 upcoming platformers I am personally looking forward to or interested in.

The list can be filled with any style of platformer (3D, 2D, Cinematic, etc, etc) and is simply a list of the platformers I am most looking forward to playing and a bit of information about them. There might be some that I've missed or some that you think I would like, so comment if you have any suggestions or if you think something is missing from the list! The list is also in a vague order from my least anticipated at the top to my most anticipated at the bottom, but some are interchangeable because I'm looking forward to them equally for different reasons. Also my opinion on upcoming games changes quite a lot because obviously I haven't played them myself and as such can't create a proper opinion on them. So, without further ado, let's get to it!

16 Things I Want From Super Smash Bros. For NX | List

A rumor has recently been spread around the internet that a port of Super Smash Bros. For Wii U is going to be a launch title for Nintendo's new console, codenamed the NX. I personally like this idea very much and think it would be a smart move for Nintendo to make. We know they are open to the idea of remastering and having the same game on multiple consoles because of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, and Twilight Princess HD. Not to mention that Twilight Princess was on both the Gamecube and Wii. So it's not out of the realm of possibility they will do a similar thing with Super Smash Bros.

It also makes logical sense because the game is still fairly new and has only just had it's 'last' DLC released. In theory it will be years before a new Super Smash Bros. game comes out, (although rumors also exist that this new Super Smash Bros. on the NX is a new game entirely, but I seriously doubt this) so port over the current game to the new console to tide fans over until the new one comes out (which it inevitably will), while also making a load of money in the meantime.

So although a good idea in theory, there are a few things that I would want to see in Super Smash Bros. For NX, after all, it would be the definitive version of the game, and as such it should have to meet the expectations fans have of what a definitive version of the game is (rather than just a lazy cash grab port). So here are 16 things I would like to see in Super Smash Bros. For NX (in no particular order).

Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko | Review

Gex: Deep Cover Gecko is the third and final game in the Gex series of games. The first game (simply titled 'Gex') is a 2D platformer, however, with the sequel, Gex made the jump from 2D to 3D. Both the 2D original and 3D sequels recieved fairly good reviews and are considered to be quite decent platformers. Not to the extent of the Super Mario or Crash Bandicoot series, but pretty decent nonetheless. All the Gex games were developed by Crystal Dynamics who were eventually bought by Eidos Interactive who were then bought by Square Enix. So the company that made Gex are technically still around today. only no longer under the name Crystal Dynamics and no longer developing Gex games (and I doubt any of the original team work at Square Enix anymore).

I have actually never played Gex or Gex: Enter the Gecko (the second game in the series), so I can't give my own opinion on them. However I have played Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, so I thought I would give the game a revisit and see if it's a forgotten gem, or if it's been forgotten for good reason.
