Have we seen the end of the 2D sidescroller and adventure game formats?

You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully.

As the OP mentioned King’s Quest, I thought it should be mentioned that homestarrunner.com has an excellent parody called Peasant’s Quest.

You can see the release trailer here.

Isn’t Viewtiful Joe a sidescroller?

I want a new-age 2d console RPG. Something in the style of the great SNES RPGs - FF4-6, the Lufia games, something like that. Something that is ridiculously long and powerfully story driven, so that long doesn’t get boring. Skip the effort that’s put into the graphics and cinematics and make a great game.

The aforementioned Klonoa for PS1 is a fantastic game with, IIRC, an engaging story and quite good graphics… one of my favorites from the late '90s…

FF Chronicles has the normal FFIV.

:smack: Crap.
