It just seemed to be missing some of the magic of the old ones. Maybe it was too unforgiving and we forgot the brutal difficulty of SNES games? I'm not sure. I am still hopeful that the WiiU one will be cool though. My wife and I love co-op platformers.
Thief should be interesting because I think I read some rumors about how the development had a lot of problems. Hopefully they'll figure everything out in time for ship.
Dark Souls 2 is too hard for me, and I'm not that big into open world games, so I'll probably skip Watch Dogs, but it definitely looks like it'll be a good game.
Yeah, I love co-op platformers. I played through DKCR with my boyfriend and really liked it, but it definitely got challenging, particularly if you unlocked and played through the temple levels. But Nintendo also had easier platformers like New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Kirby's Epic Yarn. I wish more genres of games offered local co-op these days. So much is on-line only now, but it's not the same as being in the same room as the people you're playing with.
I'm not surprised you're not a big Dark Souls fan, but that's probably the game I've spent the most time on in recent memory. I actually found it super frustrating when I first started, but as I learned how to play the game, I grew to appreciate the tough but fair combat. And the varied level and creature designs are some of the best I've ever seen.
I don't have access to most of my game collection right now, but that's OK since I just started A Link Between Worlds. So far it seems to be a worthy follow-up to A Link To The Past, which is a hell of a legacy to live up to.
