I think Bob is really underselling Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, it doesn’t add new characters, it adds 3 new entirely different CAMPAIGNS with different levels gas well as a fun little fighting game)
I would even go so far to call them additional games. Maybe he didn't play them? Because I originally thought they were just different game modes that make you play through the same game over again. I can assure you it's way more than that. Recommending anything else but treasure trove is misguided imo.
@@nidebau Yeah. When he said he hadn't touched the game since its original DS release, I was surprised - he's missed out on three great games. But that explains why he doesn't have a clear idea that those three games are actually games (and justify the price), and not just, like, character skins.
Yacht Club knocked it out the park with Shovel Knight and the extra game modes. I got a lot of enjoyment out of that game. I really liked Plague Knights game (although I hear that was the one most ppl cared for the least) and Spector Knights game was insanely good.
Wow! That Tropical Freeze hate caught me so off-guard! I thought that was sure to make the list. One of the best and most inventive platformers ever, IMHO.
Yeah he hates it for some reason. For me though it's easily in top 3 2D platformers ever made, and I have 200% it too. Don't recall having any unfair deaths or whatever, everything is perfectly predictable, and the level design is some of the best ever. But to each to their own obviously
@@ChillTimeVibe There were some frustrating parts for me as well, mostly in boss battles though. Hated that puffer fish so much I put the game away for a couple of months. When I finally picked it up again I loved it so much I played it all the way to completion. So I guess there's some getting used to? There are also aspects to the game like the barrel levels I absolutely love but I can see people not liking them.
@@Jollyman432 yeah, well it must be tough to pay the bills with only 600k+ subs especially with companies throwing stuff at you to sell. Do have to feel for him abit 🤣
Selling your soul to big corps is really sad and depressing, you aint a free man if u think that, being a bitch to some shitty company, pretending to use and like their products man its sad imo, just for some pennies
I love rayman legends, maybe it's a bit too easy compared to anything on this list.. But the gameplay can be so fun and all the content it has is more than enough for me
Super Mario Maker 2 is definitely one of my favourite games of all time. It's kinda sad how many people have forgotten about it already, including Nintendo.
The Messenger is one of my 'greatest games of all time'. A classic with a fantastic story, great gameplay and wonderful characters. I highly recommend it to everyone, but it can be very, very difficult.
Bob, I really like it that you changed your videos that focused on hardware stuff (which were all amazing by the way) to software focused videos. Keep the awesome content up and going.
4:10 PSA on the Genesis collection. Great games, but there's some major input lag. Just be aware of that if you're sensitive to that, because other ROM collections on the Switch don't have this problem.
I'm glad you mentioned Vector Man, I played the heck out of it back in the day. Criminally underrated and one of the most visually impressive Genesis titles.
Good stuff! Was feeling nostalgic and jumped back into mega man collection and sonic mania this week. All the best vibes. Hoping the Mega SG restocks soon I’d love to be able to play my old cartridges.
Great video. Loved Tropical Freeze. One of my favorite 2D platformers. Treasure Trove isnt just new characters, but each one has an entire campaign attached to it. Its more like a compilation of Shovel Knight themed games. The great thing is that each character plays so differently it really makes the campaigns distinct. If I remember right it was completely new stages and bosses in each campaign, not merely remixed versions of the first game's stages.
@@giladzxc17 According to Wikipedia, "Metroidvania games typically are sidescrolling platformers", and both Steam and the eShop categorize Hollow Knight as a platformer. It also won a number of platformer awards. With this in mind, I feel justified calling it a platformer.
@@giladzxc17 It is most definitely a platformer and anyone who has ever done any of the platforming challenges like the the path of pain will tell you, it's a damm tough one
Yeah It’s one of those games I’ve always pointed to as an example of excellent level design. It introduces mechanics safely and then iterates on them, while simultaneously creating cinematic and creative levels that almost feel like self contained stories at times. Its got some of the best level design I’ve ever seen in a video game.
@@shadowpheonix1751 i also like how when mentioning the "best" games on Snes online he failed to even acknowledge the DKC trilogy, which are arguably the best platformers OAT (besides super metroid) and are leagues better than mario all stars right down to their level design and music which shouldn't have even been possible due to the limitations of the snes.
@@wxldfl4wer850 I wouldn’t go so far as to call them the best of all time, but they’re certainly influential games that he should’ve mentioned. He really gave the DKC series the short end of the stick in this video.
I realize it appears im mocking your grammar but actually im referring to your experience inside school, not knowing shit in the real world. Not your fault for not being introduced to words in video games BEFORE school. What is school good for except indoctrination... Smh
There's a lot of other top contenders people are pointing out (Ori, DK Tropical Freeze, Rayman Legends) that weren't mentioned in your list. It could be cool to talk about them as a platformer fan what you like/dislike about them in regards why they didn't make your top list.
Okay. For real, great video. But can we talk about the ad for a moment? The effort you put into that was fantastic and made it very amusing. Your green screen doesn't thank you, but at least, I do. ^_^
Dkc frozen ape is one of the greatest platformers ever, not just on the switch, sorry Bob but you're just wrong on that one. It might be tied for #1 with Celeste at least. Also yooka laylee impossible layer deserves a spot too, that game rules and is way better than a lot of the other ones on this list.
I would highly recommend the Spectre Knight campaign of Shovel Knight. It was easily my favourite, beating the main game! It just feels so good to control
16:19 ... which is probably why it's #2. I mean the base game is excellent, but the difficulty and memorability of the harder levels elevates it so much.
Celeste is my favorite platformer ever. I played through almost the entire game in one sitting. A platformer has never made me so frustrated but made me want to keep playing like Celeste did. It has the difficulty to make you want to throw the controller across the room but the mechanics, level design, and charm to pick it back up and die a few hundred more times before finally finishing the level.
Super Mario Maker 2 has to be the best 2d platformer ever made. It's a mario platformer, the most popular, recognizable and iconic platformer franchise ever made 5 styles of mario gameplay for different tiitles of 2d mario games, perfect for retro gaming as well Create you own level Personalized experience playing the game Can be played for players of all ages Thousound of levels to play, various types of levels for different difficulties Multiplayer History mode Create your own world or play others' Play the way you like the most, plenty of game modes and levels to choose Incredibly huge community, and a lot of streamers and gameplay to watch
I love Super Mario Maker 2, it was what made me buy the switch (lite) in the first place. In the beginning I didn't have switch online and played only the "story mode", which in itself has a bunch of great levels (different difficulties as well). For that alone I already thought it was pretty fun. When I got the online mode it opened a lot more possibilities with so many different levels to enjoy (I like the filters to choose which "mario era" you prefer and type of levels, as well). The fact that they kept adding content to it (characters, items, worlds...) is awesome. They even added more levels to the offline mode, which is a great plus! I bought Sonic Mania a while back, mainly because I played Sonic on the Sega as a kid and wanted to experience that again. I played some levels and, while I had fun, it's just way too hard for me. Not being able to save the progress in some way... I'll never finish it lol I like my platformers to be more accessible and without so many angry inducing moments xD (I get that in Mario too, sometimes, but I just love Mario so I endure it a bit more...and you're not stuck in a single level, so you can take a breather with sth else). Celeste looks awesome, but I'm sure it would be too much for me to handle. I prefer watching someone else play. I'm currently playing FEZ and I'm loving it. I love the graphics, the music and "peaceful rhythm" that goes with it. I had played it first on the vita, but never finished it. It's a great addition to the switch, I think! (I clicked on the bell thingy a while back, so I always get notifications that way. If I didn't I'd still check your channel just to make sure I wasn't missing sth, because I love the content and watch it all the time).
If you're looking for another fun platformer inspired by Sonic, I'd suggest Freedom Planet. It has a 15 dollar price tag and is a fun experience I wish more people knew about.
Great suggestions, cheers! On the topic of SMB though I got really into that and consider analog triggers to be clutch to the experience. And IMHO the X-Box controllers have the best analog triggers.
I have that Sega collection on PC (Steam) - Actually the way it USED to work was that the "game" (the emulator) was free, and each game you wanted to buy was DLC. At that time, they had Sonic 3 + Knuckles - which is definitely the premier version of Sonic 3. I had actually bought a "Sega Mega/Master collection" for $7.50 which included this game and ever game offered as DLC, plus Sonic CD, the Sonic racing games, Sonic Generations, Sonic 4 1&2, and some other weird Sega stuff including Space Channel 5 and Sega Bass Fishing. My Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Collection has 56 games total.
It is regularly called the best regular 2D platformer of all time by people. Only behind Tropical Freeze maybe.I personally think it's fun to play but not really all that engaging, so I still haven't finished it. I agree it should at least get an honorable mention though.
@@nidebau Huh, maybe I just haven’t heard people’s praise for it where I’ve gone. Yeah, an honorable mention would have been nice. (Deserved it more than NSMBU lol)
Tropical Freeze is amazing dude, come on! Either way, awesome list. My friend who loves sonic played it on my genesis collection on switch and told me he felt a delay. Anyone else find a delay in that collection? I bought it for Phantasy Star games, but Sonic was a nice bonus.
Finally, someone else has actually played the Messenger. I got this game from a big sale, so I played without knowing the twist beforehand and it was amazing. Also, Celeste should be #1
Also, seems Bob needs to check out the Castlevania Anniversary Collection (these are all platformers and not Metroidvania games) and the sprite based Bloodstained games
Super mario maker 2 is my favourite 2d platform on switch (1600 hours ) as creator and as player. Then Mario3, mario 35, Mario bros, Mario world, lost levels, DK tropical freeze, DK country 1,2,3. I love cuphead but probably it’s not a platform but run and gun and bullet hell. I’m gonna play ori and hollow knight next months.
SK Treasure Trove is probably my favorite platformer in life. I just enjoy it so much, it just makes me happy even just by looking at it. Idk what did that game have, it is so so great, I love it
While I can see why the second campaign on Shovel Knight (Plague Knight) can be seen just as an "alternate character", the third and fourth characters are entirely new games. They have different levels (even if the level themes are the same), and all characters play entirely different from each other. I would definitely recommend *against* picking up Shovel of Hope by itself, the Treasure Trove is way, way more bang for your buck and you may not enjoy one of the campaigns but completely fall in love with another (for example, I don't like Plague Knight's campaign all that much but Specter Knight's campaign is one of my favorite game ever (ironically I can claim this exactly because the games are sold separately :P ). Not only that but the Treasure Trove also comes with a fun Smash Bros-like gamemode that adds some extra value to it.
I would say the only platformer I might add to the list would be Cave Story! There's like 2 or 3 flavors of it out there, but the core game incorporates platforming a lot I would say
If you're a fan of the Mega Man Zero series, another game I'd recommend checking out is Dragon Marked for Death. It's made by the same studio, Inti Creates. It has 6 different characters to play as and features both local and online multiplayer, though the matchmaking is basically dead, so you'll need to either play with friends or coordinate something with users on the official Discord server which is actually bustling with activity and full of people who are willing to help. It is rather expensive at full price, so I'd wait and get it on sale.

I've never heard a take on Tropical Freeze so diametrically opposed to my own. Everything he said I was like "yeah, no the opposite is true..."

Yes it's a known thing that the entire Genesis collection has pretty bad input delay. He really should've mentioned that.
Finally, someone else has actually played the Messenger. I got this game from a big sale, so I played without knowing the twist beforehand and it was amazing. Also, Celeste should be #1
Just went ahead and bought sonic mania thanks to you! It’ll be here Saturday!!!
your new videos are on my home page everytime u upload one so im goood :)
OMG that noise when you were rubbing the lotion on your hands, I can only describe it as moist(shutters.)
There are literally only 2 RUclipsr's I watch that make their sponsored ads worth watching: Ryan George, and you sir XD
Hey just a heads up, you missed the timeline title for Shovel Knight
I had to stop myself from spitting out my drink at the "gun to my head" part
Also, seems Bob needs to check out the Castlevania Anniversary Collection (these are all platformers and not Metroidvania games) and the sprite based Bloodstained games
Super mario maker 2 is my favourite 2d platform on switch (1600 hours ) as creator and as player.
Then Mario3, mario 35, Mario bros, Mario world, lost levels, DK tropical freeze, DK country 1,2,3.
I love cuphead but probably it’s not a platform but run and gun and bullet hell.
I’m gonna play ori and hollow knight next months.
SK Treasure Trove is probably my favorite platformer in life. I just enjoy it so much, it just makes me happy even just by looking at it. Idk what did that game have, it is so so great, I love it
I will always show up for your sponsor clips. Love your work, but I swear your sponsor clips are always better than anyone else's.
While I can see why the second campaign on Shovel Knight (Plague Knight) can be seen just as an "alternate character", the third and fourth characters are entirely new games. They have different levels (even if the level themes are the same), and all characters play entirely different from each other. I would definitely recommend *against* picking up Shovel of Hope by itself, the Treasure Trove is way, way more bang for your buck and you may not enjoy one of the campaigns but completely fall in love with another (for example, I don't like Plague Knight's campaign all that much but Specter Knight's campaign is one of my favorite game ever (ironically I can claim this exactly because the games are sold separately :P ). Not only that but the Treasure Trove also comes with a fun Smash Bros-like gamemode that adds some extra value to it.
real tough look not mentioning the original DKC trilogy.
I would say the only platformer I might add to the list would be Cave Story! There's like 2 or 3 flavors of it out there, but the core game incorporates platforming a lot I would say
I bought the mega mans on PS, buuuuuut I wanna get it on switch now, love your videos dude, I’m subscribed now :)
Another really great platformer on the switch is called Levelhead, it might be worth checking out! It's a really fun time!
Yeah it’s pretty much Mario maker but imo not quite as fun or magical feeling
If you're a fan of the Mega Man Zero series, another game I'd recommend checking out is Dragon Marked for Death. It's made by the same studio, Inti Creates. It has 6 different characters to play as and features both local and online multiplayer, though the matchmaking is basically dead, so you'll need to either play with friends or coordinate something with users on the official Discord server which is actually bustling with activity and full of people who are willing to help. It is rather expensive at full price, so I'd wait and get it on sale.
