What are the best side-scrolling action games on the PCE? Games like Ninja Gaiden or Shatterhand/Solbrain on the NES. Hack & slash, platformers, run & guns, etc. I need some more non-shooters to add to my collection.
-
I want to know this too!
-
Cadash, Horror Story, Valis games, Shockman, Energy, and many more.... :)
-
Ninja Spirit, The Kung Fu
-
Looks like the post from my PC didnt take. Off the top of my head there's Faussette Amour, Kaze Kiri, Monster Lair, Dracula X, Bloody Wolf, Legendary Axe, Splatterhouse, Shubibinman 3, Liquid Kids, New Adventure Island, Samurai Ghost, Jackie Chan Action Kung Fu, Tenchi Wo Kurau, Vigilante...

Don't forget about genji tsushi agedama. A neat and action loaded platformer.
It can be get also very cheap.
And legend of hero tonma. The only console port outthere.

I would like to say I didn't see this post coming, but, I did. :)

If you're not just looking for great games and are willing to play an iso, you could try Renny Baster.
-
Energy
You didn't just say that.

These are not sidescrollers.

These are not sidescrollers.
This reminds me of an argument I had with someone once. They were calling Twinbee a side scrolling shoot em up.
and said it was valid because its only showing one side, and its scrolling, or some shit.
I wanted to punch them.
-
Some other suggestions
Cross Wiber - think of it as a futuristic China Warrior and you'll enjoy it more
Makai Prince - platformerish
Mizubaku Dai Bouken - RnWaterGun and platform and what not
Dragon Egg - um dragon egg...

Twinbee is a beat 'em up because he wears boxing gloves.

Badass platformers? If you look hard enough, you'll find some gems on HuCard
HuCard
-------
Ninja Spirit (my favorite ninja themed platformer on any console, hands down)
SonSon II (It's basically a cartoon graphics version of Black Tiger, which is awesome)
Jackie Chan Action Kung Fu
Bonk's Revenge (best of the three TG16 Bonk games, without question)
Bonk's Adventure
Daimakaimura (aka Ghouls N' Ghosts. SuperGrafx Hucard)
Ninja Ryukenden (aka Ninja Gaiden. Chunky parallax aside, still an awesome 16-bit graphics remake of the first Ninja Gaiden game)
Legendary Axe
Legendary Axe II
Mizubaku Daibuken (it's like Parasol Stars as a platformer game!)
Cadash (multiplayer arcade goodness with RPG-ish elements)
Legend of Hero Tonma (decent Irem platformer with insane firepower)
New Adventure Island (one of the best Adventure Island games on any system imo)
Madouou Granzort (SuperGrafx sequel-ish to Keith Courage)
CD games
---------
Akumajo Dracula X - Chi No Rondo (Should need no introduction. One of the greatest Castlevania games ever created)
Kaze Kiri (love it or hate it, it's a great game if you consider it in the same vein as games like Vigilante, etc.)
Mugen Senshi Valis (superb Super CD-ROM2 remake of Valis1. Probably my favorite Valis game on the PCE)
Valis III
Valis IV
Shubibiman 3 (a departure from the Megaman-ish feel of the 2nd game, and I consider that a vast improvement. Where they largely failed at cloning Megaman, they succeeded in creating an excellent hack-n-slash platformer with Shubibiman 3)
Dynastic Hero
Ys III (plays like Zelda II on the NES with more RPG-ish elements)
Shadow of the Beast (Better than the Genesis port, imo)
Chiki Chiki Boys (Dumb name, pretty fun game)
Blood Gear
Probably a ton of other CD games I can't think of off the top of my head
P.S., Bloody Wolf and KiKi Kaikai are NOT sidescrollers. They're both great, but both are overhead run-n-gun games like Commando or M.E.R.C.S.

Camp California is another dang good platformer, though maybe not 'bad ass'.

Hip, inter-generational, beach-bum, surfing animals with attitude and a sweet ride fighting to save the environment from evil corporate goons by playing rock music not badass? You're so square, you must live in Cubesville.

Might as well include Shapeshifter and Ys III.

Man, some people are all about Shapeshifter. That game just seems like clunky garbage to me. I can't get into it. :/

same here. tried once again to like it few month ago. but it failed massively. it has some few funny things here and there, but that's it. I mainly don't like the controlls and the grafx looks just like a randomly used ragbag bunch of pixels

Kato & Ken is literally a bad ass sidescroller as you use flatulence as a weapon.

I like it, though some of the sprites seem real clunky, esp in the backgrounds.
that, and certain weapons totally screw you over.
