Hard platformers with banging chiptune soundtracks? (feddit.uk)

I'm really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!

Along these lines I've already played:

  • Shovel Knight
  • Celeste
  • The Messenger
  • Hollow Knight (well, in terms of the difficulty not the music)

Does anyone know of any I've missed? They don't necessarily have to be modern indie games - old NES/SNES games for example. SMB3 and SMW are classics.

Thanks! I like the sound of the Legacy collection - I'll take a look :)

Megaman X, the SNES original, is a great starting point. X2 and X3 afterwards will offer significant challenge even after you master the first game. X1 has the best music of the 3.

If you go for the NES classics, I personally find 6 the easiest. It also has some absolutely amazing tracks, like Tomahawk Man's stage. 4 and 5 are weak points, in my opinion.

Thanks, I'll give X a try first and then move onto the others if I enjoy it :)

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
