Recommend me a good PC Engine platformer

[sirhcman]

I've never really delved into the pc engine library much beyond shooters so I am looking for a good PC Engine platformer to play (looking for something that wasn't released state-side). I don't know Japanese so please keep that in mind when recommending something!

Thanks in advance!

Akumajou Dracula X - Chi No Rondo
Rainbow Islands
Daimakaimura / Ghouls 'n Ghosts         
Jigoku Meguri
Mizubaku Daibouken/Liquid Kids
Son Son II

If you've got a flash cart, both Aoi Blink and Son Son II have translation patches.  If that's a no-go, try Conan, Chiki Chiki Boys, Faussete Amour, Mizubaku Dai Bouken, and/or Youkai Dochuki.

I do have the everdrive so I will seek out those patches, awesome! Thanks Necro

Jackie Chan is one of the best but he said he was looking for games not released in the US

so I am looking for a good PC Engine platformer to play (looking for something that wasn't released state-side.

Sorry I wasn't aware it got a US release!

Shubibinman 3 is supposed to be good.  I've only played (and enjoyed!) the second one, but that got a US release.

You may also enjoy New Zealand Story, though it's honestly not the best port...

Exile's action segments are sort of castlevania-esque, and while nowhere near as good, still somehow fun.

I'm a huge fan the Genpei Toumaden games (the first only being released in Japan) but they are definitely not for everyone. The graphics are a little goofy at times & the gameplay is about as quarter-munching as it gets.

I really enjoyed Momotarou Katsugeki...really overlooked little platformer.

How about Kato Chan and Ken Chan? It has to count as "not being released in the USA" due to the amount of pooping in bushes that only occurs in the Japanese version...

I thoroughly enjoyed JJ & Jeff despite the scat!

But would you agree that with more bush pooping, it would be even better?

I recently played the translated Aoi Blink, was a pretty fun game although I know nothing about the property. I'm assuming it's based on some anime/manga?

Yup.
