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 haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I'll say it: The End is Nigh. Shit's hard as balls but very fair and rewarding to play, only go for it if you're a real glutton for punishment.

How does it compare to super meat boy?

Made by the same guy, actually. I would say it's similar to Meat Boy in difficulty if you just play the main game, but there are rabbitholes to go down that get much, much harder if you're a completionist.
