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.

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.

I hadn't actually realized the Virtuaverse album was for a game lol, I just really like MBR. I know they've got some songs in ULTRAKILL too.

Oh I completely misread your earlier comment lol. They sound good though! I've heard great things about ULTRAKILL too
