January's Together Retro theme: Licensed 2D platformers wins

[Michi]

I'll volunteer to take a month if folks would like.

Should I take a shot in the dark and assume one of the choices will include "Games that remind Elkin of Neptunia Month", or should that be a given?

[ElkinFencer10]

lol, well, I may well have "Compile Heart" or "Idea Factory" as a category, but I wouldn't narrow it down QUIET that much...maybe.

Too narrow, too modern. "Cute anime girls" would work.

Ecchi.

Voted for Rare and licensed platformers.

All good choices though, that's for sure.

Nah, I ain't playin' no lolicon games. Y'all are out of your minds if you think that'll encourage more participation.

Just save a few PC Engine Duo games for that month, that should cover it. I'd probably roll with something like Valis.

I'm going for the Asterix games on the SMS as well as Hercules on PS1. Might dig around for something a bit more esoteric but those are two I've had a while.
