Do you consider Super Metroid a sidescroller?
Earthworm Jim is a good suggestion though!
Basically, I'm looking for oddball sidescrollers that I haven't played in a long time or ever. I found one the other day called Magical Pop'n for SNES. JP only I think, but it's damned fun. Mr. Gainsborough fucked around with this message on 09-14-2006 at 05:16 PM.
Don't think that's "oddball" but that game owned. Addy fucked around with this message on 09-14-2006 at 05:35 PM.
Bonk's Adventure was good if you can find an emulator.

It's short, but oh god it's awesome.
And you know, since you're a Megaman fan and all, ZX came out yesterday for the DS. It's pretty good.

That game was awesome. But I never beat it. Always got my ass kicked on one of the last levels.

One of that series was SNES I believe.

Gradius was fun. (Sidescroller, not platformer. Dunno if that counts.)
Eh, I consider sidescrolling shooters in the same category as schmups. And this is not the place for those!

Agreed.
I suggest Actraiser. Avoid Actraiser 2.

See also Soul Blazer, which is kind of a spiritual successor and a similar idea and also one of the fondest memories of my childhood. (And I have played it since and it still kicks ass.)
I guess it isn't a side-scroller or a platformer, but it's still undeniably awesome and everyone should play it. Suddar fucked around with this message on 09-15-2006 at 01:51 AM.
