what is your favorite Genesis sidescroller action game?

Mine would be Streets of Rage3 and Shinobi 3: return of the master ninja.

sunset riders was also good :)

I found that really HARD and chaotic.

Any of the Streets Of Rage games.

Shadow dancer

Castlevania Bloodlines

i played shadow dancer after shinobi3 so it was a downgrade, the final boss was epic thu.

Castlevania Bloodlines

Agreed.

CastleVania Bloodlines is easily the best sidescrolling Genesis action game.

Streets of Rage 1 and 2.

Castlevania Bloodlines

my favorite arcade game has to be shinobi, i liked game mechanics to release prisoners to complete a stage, SD was a downgrade on shinobi (it had a magnificent shooting bonus stage) but genesis got that with dog attack feature included.

I played also shinobi 3 yes great game but i remember SD better for classic shinobi gameplay style

Probably Gunstar Heroes or Contra: Hard Corps.

Sega Genesis has a GREAT library of side-scrolling action games. That may be my favorite genre on the Genesis. Here's some of my favorites:

• Altered Beast
• Comix Zone
• The Death & Return of Superman
• Golden Axe 1 & 2
• Maximum Carnage
• The Punisher
• Revenge of Shinobi & Shinobi III
• Separation Anxiety
• Splatterhouse 2 & 3
• Streets of Rage 1-3
• Strider
• Vectorman 1 & 2
• X-Men 2: The Clone Wars

I still haven't played Castlevania: Bloodlines or Contra: Hard Corps, but would love to and always keep my eye out for them when I'm on the hunt.
