Metal Slug 3
Metal Slug 3 is a good side-scrolling shooter, but the finicky controls in the iOS version ruin the experience
Across many consoles and handhelds, Metal Slug has always provided a good side-scrolling shooter fix. With the challenge of a Contra and the graphical style and humor similar to Gun Star Heroes, Metal Slug's appeal is wi... Read Full Review

Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil
Out of all the great platformers on the PS2, Klonoa 2: Luntea's Veil could be the best of them all.
When people bring up the argument of what was the best platformer of last generation you hardly ever hear anything about Klonoa 2: Luntea's Veil. Which is a shame. Out of all the great platformers on the PS2, Klonoa 2: L... Read Full Review

Famicom Mini: Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. is a great old school platformer to have on the go.

Super Mario Advance
It's often misunderstood, but anyone willing to give Mario Bros. 2 a chance could fall in love with it.
Super Mario Bros. 2 was the oddball of the original trilogy. The game wasn't even Mario Bros. in Japan. It was "Doki Doki Panic". Mario Bros. 2 is the only game that allows you to choose Princess Peach and Toad... Read Full Review

Star Fox 64
Star Fox 64 is a very good game, even to this day, but it has few redemptive replay values to make for its shortness.
